Very cool! I want one of the Metamorphosis (chameleon) Aluminum handle models. Another LionSteel innovation. Some will call it gimmicky but it's still innovative.

Is the weight mentioned for the Aluminum or G-10 models?

How's the flipper action? Strong or medium detent?

  • Blade length: 3.425"
  • Blade thickness: 0.177"
  • Weight: 5.57 ounces
  • Price: $190-$210

We always try to introduce some innovations in the knife's world... but it is not so easy...
 
Gianni,

Preorder one G10 black :)

Great on the strong flipper action.

  • Weight AL: 6.21 oz.
  • Weight G-10: 5.57 oz.

Kind of on the heavy side but the thick blade is close to the length and thickness of TM-1 so that explains it.
 
Gianni,

Do you have a picture of the lock side and clip?
 
Can we hope to see a smaller version of the Kur? I prefer a three-inch blade and a liner lock. If not, I'll go ahead and order the TRE I been planning to get.

No, i do not think that we will produce a small KUR. We already have TRE i that size.
It is more easy that in the next future we will produce KUR with Ti frame.
