What an EDC of a knife, awesome design

Posted by Sharif Radwan on 16th Feb 2023

OK, I bought this beaut last year, and was after a specific knife in my mind’s eye, and this did not fit it, and so I returned it without ever even giving it a try (yes, stupid me!),, but it did leave a memorable image in my head. So, this year I decided to grab the aluminium version, and went for the green for a change 24 hours later, as per usual from HH, would never expect anything less from them ;-). It arrived and boy oh boy, it’s way more lush in the flesh, and I actually prefer the aluminium version more. The walk and talk is great, a midway confident click, and another in the open position. It does inspire you with confidence that it’s not going to snap back and bite you without warning. It does however a minimal amount of jimping, that can barely be used to put pressure on, but the confident click in the open position is good enough. Razor sharp out of the box, not the sharpest, but pretty darned sharp. I absolutely love the ingenious hidden pocket clip, I assumed it would be a novelty that wore off, but no, it’s a really cool design, and the button just adds to it’s fidget goodness :). For the price, this is a no brainer, my only fear is that the blade is 8cm, and the cutting edge is 7.6, so do try and remember the 1988 Criminal Act section 138, sub-section 3 (thank you to @UKLegalCarryKnives for that :)) that states the part about the sharp end and not the entire blade length is what counts, might save you some _time_ if you’ll excuse the pun! So is it worth it? Heck yeah, absolutely awesome, I’m actually tempted to get another one, and I have never thought that about a knife before :)

The LionSTEEL Thrill is an excellent uk legal folder with a premium high quality M390 steel! Highly recommended!

Superb UK friendly

I've fancied a Molletta designed UK friendly after buying the SR2 Mini a number of years back, then this landed just in time for HH's after Christmas offer! On first impressions it's a brilliant little knife, single piece aluminum handle and back spring (stainless at contact point), IKBS bearings, retractable pocket clip and M390 blade steel. The fit and finish are both excellent, putting some dearer knives to shame. The action has a solid but smooth feel to it, highly recommended.
