SHOP CASE KNIVESThe LionSteel SR22 Blackout Aluminum is a compact powerhouse built for serious use in a sleek, no-glare package. With a 3.15" Sleipner steel drop point blade, this knife offers a tough, reliable edge that’s easy to maintain and holds up under pressure. The satin finish adds a clean, understated look while preserving the blade’s cutting edge through extended use. Deployed via a low-profile flipper tab riding on LionSteel’s ultra-smooth IKBS ball-bearing pivot system, the SR22 delivers fast, confident action every time you need it.
At the core of this design is LionSteel’s signature monolithic handle, 4D-machined from a single billet of black aluminum. The result is a rigid, seamless frame that’s both lightweight and brutally strong. The integral framelock design delivers reliable blade lockup without added bulk, while the stainless steel pocket clip is ambidextrous for left- or right-side carry. A lanyard hole at the rear adds carry versatility and a touch of practical style.
Weighing in at 5.15oz and measuring just 4.11" closed, the SR22 is easy to carry and hard to ignore. It balances everyday practicality with premium materials and precision Italian craftsmanship. Whether you're in the workshop, out in the field, or navigating everyday life, the SR22 is built to take it all in stride and keep cutting.
