Pros of SR-1A:
Fits better in hand?
You won't need more knife...

Pros of SR-2A:
Smaller, less likely to scare non-knife people.
Sleipner steel!

help me decide!
 
I mean, I'm probably eventually going to buy multiple LionSteel knives... they are so freaking sexy
 
I found the SR-1 a bit too big and too hard to open with one hand. Guess my thumb wasn't strong enough. So I returned it. I may buy the SR-2A, depending on the reviews.
 
SR2 is better for my taste, but when You say "You won't need more knife..." about the SR1, maybe You already have the answer :rolleyes:
 
I can't get a comfortable four finger grip on a knife with less than a 4.5 inch handle so you have my answer. The SR-2 is about the size of a small Sebbie.

I don't mind weight as long as it's not too thick, which the SR-1 is not.
 
The SR2 series is about the length of a small Seb, with a much wider handle and a wider, thicker blade.

They're really not the same size.

If you like wide blades, it's just about the perfect EDC.

If you like deep-pocket clips, this one is hard to beat.
 
EDC during normal days I'd say SR-2. I have good-sized hands and can get a secure grip on it. SR-1 is quite a bit bigger.

Here are some comparison pictures that include SR-1, SR-2, TiSpine and small CRK Sebenza:

I have both and definitely prefer SR-2 for urban EDC. Although it's a small folder it has nice grip and handling.
 
I'm guessing that the SR-1 is about the same size as the LionSpy? I've been trying to decide which to get as well.
 
I just got my first lionsteel today. A sr1 titanium. These seem pretty solid, I haven't handled one before today
