New lionSTEEL Jack Knives

[Eli Chaps]

Now, I know these won't be popular with a lot of folks, but I love innovation and think it looks like a pretty cool new offering.

If I did this right the video will skip the modern knife in the beginning and go straight to the jacks. If not, they start at 7:40.

.....

EDIT: Gary, I guess that didn't work and it started from the beginning. If I try to post just a link it automatically loads it as the video. Apologies if it's not okay.

EDIT 2: I'm not okay with that picture showing here, so, for those who are curious, go on YouTube and search for Knife Center for new lionSTEEL Myto Coming Soon. The jacks are in there.

Kinda neat but the corkscrew is a deal breaker for me. I have no need for one and don't want one on a knife.

Agreed but the European market might see it differently. Might be a shot at grabbing some of the lower end of the Fontenille Pataud type crowd. I also know a number of folks who are more interested in having a bottle opener and cork screw on their "knives" than they are the actual knife. Not sure they'd bee in this market though.

I do like the single blade.

You could be a lifesaver at a party.

I've been there, more than once, saving the day with with an SAK avoiding drywall screws and pliers.

Looks like they will offer lots of options - blade only, blade plus caplifter, or all the way (blade, caplifter, and corkscrew). Different materials and different price points. I have the Gitano and I like it a lot.

The Gitano has a pocket clip so it is not okay as Trad fodder but it is a fine knife and good example of lionSTEEL's slip joint quality.

I think I'm going to grab an olive wood deluxe model and I probably won't have to wear out the refresh button to do so.

I agree, the pocket clip is my least favorite part of the knife by a wide margin.

 

[celticrogues]

I adore this!

Will the SAK/Victorinox "Eyeglasses" screwdriver that fits in the SAK corkscrew fit these?

 

[Chui]

- very nice knife indeed

Not the type I'd buy, but a very logical and understandable addition to their great line-up

 

[JohnDF]

I like it (without the cork screw), I doubt I'll be buying one, but I like it. I wonder what the closed length is?
It's great that some companies are starting to produce quality slip joint knives with options and make them readily available.
I like the shape, I like the blade/tool choices, and I like the cover options. I say Bravo!

The slip joint has come a long way.

Everyone is trying to out SAK a SAK. Not going to happen.

I like the new MKM Malga 6 in comparison to a SAK. Thinking about picking one up to try out.

Both questions I have too. I'm surprised there is no mention of length.

 

[Elgatodeacero]

These are much classier looking than a SAK, I like the caplifter and blade combo.

I guess anything with a cork screw must be trying to out SAK an SAK.

lionSTEEL does make knives with nice lines and materials.
