Description
The Lionsteel Thrill lives up to its name as a sensational modern gentleman’s knife. It features an ingenious slipjoint mechanism and a handle crafted from a single block of titanium, showcasing Lionsteel’s mastery in precision milling. What sets the Thrill apart is its integral slipjoint mechanism seamlessly milled into the handle, eliminating the need for a separate spring—a rarity among slipjoints. This design not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also ensures exceptional user-friendliness; cleaning the knife is a breeze with the blade is easily removable by loosening the hinge.
But there’s more to the Thrill. The slipjoint mechanism includes a steel insert to prevent long-term wear, a feature typically seen in titanium framelocks. The blade, made from Chad Nichols damascus steel, boasts striking high-contrast patterns. Opening the knife is effortless thanks to the carefully applied nail-nick, despite the strong spring action typical of slipjoints.
Legal to carry almost anywhere due to its two-handed opening and lack of a locking mechanism, the Thrill is practical for travel. The innovative H.WAY system (Hide What Annoys You) adds another layer of functionality, allowing the pocket clip to retract into the handle when not in use—a solution to a common annoyance among knife users. Activating the clip is simple: just press the light button on the handle’s opposite side, a feature that becomes intuitive over time.
In short, the Lionsteel Thrill stands out as one of the finest slipjoint knives ever created, excelling in both design and functionality. If you seek a distinctive and modern gentleman’s knife, your search ends here.
