I have this exact knife and don't quite remember what I paid for it. I really like it. It weighs a bit. However, it opens and closes so easily. It has a very nice blade and it has that Italian heritage. The micarta is just fantastic. With this knife, one doesn't need to worry about having a clip. This knife is a must have for a collection that wasnts quality with variation for a really reasonable price. I'm surprised that the price doesn't go up. The collector community goes through stages where conservatism dominates. Conservatism in the case of this knife will lock anyone who doesn't get it out of a, "must have," for their collection. So useful, by the way.

If this had a pocket clip I would’ve bought it in a heart beat. I wonder, did they expect us to just drop this beast into our pocket and have it bulging out like we’re excited to see everyone? Anyway, I have the LionSteel m4 in M390 and it is superb. LionSteel makes excellent knives. If you dig having a horizontal bulge in the bottom of your jeans pocket then by all means get this knife.

This is tax free weekend in Massachusetts. If I order this now, will I get taxed on it?

I own a number of Lion Steel knifes and I love them all. I have always wondered why this great company is not given the credit it is due for making terrific knifes. You certainly won't find this knife any cheaper and this is a great price.

For anyone wondering yes the pocket clip from the G10 KUR will fit this knife (with a little bit of filing for a perfect fit). Lionsteel does not ship it with a pocket clip because they have concerns the wood will show wear from the wire clip (milling lines maybe) but santos and olive woods are hard and can take a beating. There's a couple guys on bladeforums who have done it and has no wear on the wood handles so don't let that hold you back from buying this knife. Lionsteel will send you a clip For shipping costs or possibly even free. Their customer service is suppose to be excellent. I own the TRE and sr11 and they make high quality folders with superb fit and finish.

I recommend the G-10 models that has pocket clip, was a great knife. The main issue is that the entire knife is thick and chunky.

For any of those wondering, I ordered one of these not long ago from a different store and discovered it doesn't come with a pocket clip. However, after a quick email to Lionsteel, I now have a (completely free) pocket clip on it's way to my doorstep. If the lack of a clip is the only thing stopping you from buying one of these, just keep in mind that it's a very simple fix!!

GarethTremI've emailed twice with no response. Is there any special trick in communicating with them? I don't mind paying but I can't get them to talk with me.

Molletta knives have fantastic, refined ergonomics. I don't know why this version leaves the clip off -- maybe the wooden scales? Either way that makes it a no go for me. Once you get used to clipping a knife to your pocket, or to some other handy spot from which you might quickly access it without having to fish around in your pants pocket looking for it, you stop wanting to deal with that.
There's also an issue with lint and debris. If you wear clothing that doesn't create lint and you aren't in the habit of carrying around a bunch of stuff in your pockets, you'll notice less of a difference over time than if you wear jeans and cottons and natural fiber clothing. Using the clip, you'll notice that your knife stays a lot cleaner when it's not at the bottom of your pocket - less stuff getting into the works.
If that matters to you that's one reason that you might want to pass on this, and pick up another model of LionSteel instead. They can get fairly pricy depending on the materials you choose but the entry level ones are often Sleipner and aluminum instead of M390 and titanium. which makes for a lot more affordable knife. Sleipner isn't a particulate steel, it's an improved version of D2 but people really like it and some folks even prefer it to M4.

reswrightSleipner is made by Bohler-Uddeholm and I was under the impression that it is a micro-melt powder steel? Either way, it took a very fine edge like I would expect from a powder steel and holy shit, wear resistance, this steel took a lllooonnngggg time to reprofile the edge, even under monocrystaline diamond stones.

SCBaldrTechnically Sleipner is a Uddeholm product, not a B-U product. like Elmax, even though that's a distinction without a difference for a lot of folks. Upshot is, Uddeholm says the answer is no.
Here's a peek see at the Uddeholm flyer: https://www.uddeholm.com/app/uploads/sites/43/2017/10/Uddeholm_Premium_Steel_for_Knives_Eng_1703_e6.pdf
"Uddeholm’s modern version of the classic D2/W1.2379 tool steel with improved toughness to better fit active knife use. Even though this is not a PM steel, the finer steel structure in Uddeholm Sleipner gives better machinability, polishability and edge retention. "
So no, but between their own language elsewhere, its newness, the fact that they CAN say it's much finer structured than D2, and the hellacious profile flor the use, you'd be forgiven for concluding Sleipner is a PM steel. But it, like 52100, is conventional tool steel.

I like the look but the blade thickness and lack of a pocket clip make this a no-go for me.
