LionSTEEL ROK - Small Details Review - Aluminum Integral Flipper

Published: 3 years ago

Today we're taking a small-details look at a really odd, ambitious knife from LionSTEEL, the ROK. This knife packs a ton of interesting, innovative features into a single knife: an integral frame, a removable flipper tab, a locking lockbar, a detent ball ramp, and a retractable hidden pocket clip! But is it any good?
