LionSteel-made knives you currently own

Updated post #1 with my latest LionSteel-made knife: Spyderco Lil LionSpy. It's the size of a LionSteel SR-2 but with Elmax stainless steel for the blade just like its big brother the LionSpy.

By the way, Spyderco has discontinued the original LionSpy so now is a good time to get one for 50% off MSRP at several dealers.
 
All those knives have LionSteel brand on them.
We are waiting for a picture :D

They do indeed say LionSteel on them :)
I'm very happy with these blades and they get carried and used daily. But I don't usually have a camera with me!

Keep up the great work!
 
The Dendra arrived, time for a group photo:

Nice!

I ordered a LionSteel-made Fox Pro Hunter with Palisandru (Rosewood) handle.

My new Fox Pro-Hunter is the only LionSteel-made knife I have that doesn't have a LionSteel stamp on it!

Very nice fixed blade with a nice SS narrow blade.

Yes, we have done other collaborations in the past, but all those knives are not in production any more.
 
Here's what I currently own:

DPx HEST/F 1st Gen
DPx HEST/F 2.0 Regular x2
DPx HEST/F 2.0 Coyote
DPx HEST/F 2.0 Triple Black LE (the original with the Titanium w/compass eye Mr. DPx skull)
DPx HEST/F 2.0 Milspec
DPx HEAT/F First Run
DPx HEAT/F Gray ELMAX
DPx HEFT 4 Milspec
Lionsteel SR-1A All Black modded
Lionsteel PM-1 Black
Spyderco Lionspy
Blackwater Aculus (recently traded)
ESEE ESEE-3/F Prototype

I think that's all I have at the moment. Definitely have a few more on my list of wants, mainly a KR Legion and Folder, some Dendras and a Lil' Lionspy.

I also have that original DPx HEST/F 2.0 Triple Black LE which I got almost two years ago!

What is that ESEE ESEE-3/F Prototype?

If you like the DPx HEAT/F consider the excellent HEAT/F 3D Titanium Limited Run. Excellent milled titanium handles, Niolox stainless tool steel and smooth action. At 4.40 ounces it's only slightly heavier than my HEAT/F First Run's 4.12 ounces.

Yeah, I've been keeping my eye out for one. The HEAT/F isn't totally my bag of tea, it's far too small, but they are still neat little knives and I'm strangely attracted to them despite how small they are :D

A couples of years ago we made some samples of a folding knife for ESEE, i think they were 4/5 pieces.

It was either before or right around the same time the HEST/F was being developed, correct? Either way, the ESEE guys didn't like it and many many years later are now developing the Rowan-made IZULA folder.

I was lucky enough to be gifted this one by the original owner, one of the moderators on the ESEE forums. As far as I understand, Jeff and Mike each have one and then a couple were given to prominent friends/fans. I did a whole writeup about it over there. It's virtually the same as the 1st Gen HEST/F with a ESEE-3 blade grind and handle shape.

Nice catch. Congrats.
 
Was here to start a thread....I own some HEST's so thought I'd drop in a minute.

Nice knives guys....sure like my 2.0 folder.
 
My two latest are two actual LionSteel folders: Limited Edition TiDust and TiSpine Raindrop Damascus.

Looking forward to at least a couple of TRE folders/flippers hopefully in a few short months.
 
I recently picked up a TM-1 carbon fiber. What an awesome knife. Unbelievably smooth opening, perfect F&F, great blade shape, and just an overall robust but classy knife. It has an overall profile or style that is just different than other folders-- highlighted by its beautifully sculpted handle. It slices great, is amazingly light for its size, and exhibits zero blade play.

I'm a little disappointed to see there are very few comments or threads dedicated to this very fine knife. It seems like the SR-1 gets all the love around here.

More people need to get this knife! :)

Edited to add: it has replaced my Umnumzaan-- currently-- as my EDC. But I will go back to the Zaan at some point, as it is also a great knife. (Although I just did pick up a Kizer GTI and that thing is a gem, as well.....)
