Knife - Essential Tool for Camping, Outdoor Adventure and collection

The “LionSTEEL-Emerson ONE” project is back and the L.E.One Mid was created as a compact, ultra-light edition of our original and larger SOLID folding karambit, developed in collaboration with Emerson Design. The SOLID frame-lock handle — a LionSTEEL hallmark — is milled from a single solid piece of Ergal aluminum while the blade is crafted from Bohler M390 steel.

The reversible stainless steel clip can be mounted on the opposite side by screwing in the corresponding square steel post.

A steel insert is positioned at the end of the handle scale where the lock engages, preventing aluminum wear from contact with the blade during opening.

The patented Wave opening: Ernest Emerson created the Emerson Wave Feature so the knife automatically opens when drawn from the pocket at the correct angle. It is the fastest opening system in the world — faster than many automatics, because the extraction motion itself deploys the blade.

Intended use: Sporting / Tactical — ideal as a pocket karambit for self-defense, tactical carry and EDC.

The “LionSTEEL-Emerson ONE” project is back, and L.E.One Mid was created as a compact and super-light edition of our first and largest folding karambit SOLID, developed in collaboration with Emerson Design. The SOLID frame-lock handle, a distinctive feature of lionSTEEL, is milled from a solid piece of Ergal aluminum, while the blade is made of Bohler M390 steel.

The reversible steel clip can be attached to the opposite side by screwing in the corresponding square steel pin.

The steel insert is positioned at the end of the locking bar so that the titanium part does not wear out due to blade rotation over time.

The patented Wave opening feature. Ernest Emerson created the Emerson Wave Feature when he discovered that the knife opened automatically when pulled from the pocket at the right angle. 

This device allows the knife to be opened literally as it is removed from the pocket. This makes any Emerson knife with the remote pocket opening system the fastest knife to open in the world. Faster than an automatic, the knife opens as it rises into your hand, ready for use.
