Features of Skinny knife by lionSTEEL
Skinny is the new EDC folding knife launched in 2024 and it is manufactured with the SOLID® technology: the frame comes out milling a single solid piece of titanium or aluminum, so the handle is an integral strong element of the knife. Titanium handles are enriched with carbon fiber inlays, while the aluminum ones with Micarta inlays in different variations.Skinny is very light and strong and it fits the pocket very easily. It features a CPM MagnaCut steel blade, stonewash or OldBlack finished.
The lock bar is reinforced with a hardened steel insert, the opening and closing movements feature the IKBS ball bearing system.
The blade is equipped with the REF (Removable flipper) system, so if you don’t want the flipper you can unscrew the tab using the T6 torx tool and put the second screw you find in the box that perfectly fits the hole in bottom of the blade.
Designed by Molletta, Skinny is provided with a steel clip which can be set on both sides of the frame using the “U-Tool” included in the box.
