The Lionsteel KUR is a fantastic new flipper similar to the award-winning T.R.E. with a few notable changes in the design. The KUR is a larger, stainless steel liner lock design, built for more robust cutting tasks but still sized for every day carry. The KUR comes with Sleipner tool steel, similar to AISI D2 with increased toughness and wear resistance similar to that of CTS XHP.
The blades are stonewashed for a rugged appearance and fully flat ground for enhanced slicing performance. An IKBS provides fast deployment via the flipper and a crowned spine adds a touch of class. Scales are a moderately textured G10 (Black, Brown, Orange, Green) or the Metamorphosis Aluminum which changes from Black to Camo when it heats up.
