lionSTEEL-Emerson ONE is the new SOLID® Karambit knife developed in collaboration with Emerson Design.

The Solid frame-lock handle, already a distinguishing feature of lionSTEEL, is machined from a solid piece of Ergal aluminum, while the blade is made of CPM MagnaCut steel.

Other built-in features make the knife more comfortable and safer to use, allowing the end user to choose how to use it:

* REF (REmovable Flipper system): this feature allows you to choose how to use the knife, if you don't want the flipper you can unscrew it and remove it using the torx tool and insert the second "cap" screw that fits perfectly into the hole at the bottom of the blade.

* Wave: Ernest Emerson's patented system that allows the blade to hook into the pocket of the pants, on extraction, allowing it to open automatically with the right motion.

Knife collected from a private collection in like new condition with original box - Knife made in 2017 by the famous Japanese knifemaker Takeshi Saji - The knife is supplied together with the sheath made by Saji, with an additional sheath made by the Italian cutler Simone Tonolli. This second sheath allows horizontal attachment to the belt. Checked and certified by our internal laboratory.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Master.
