Another molletta stroke of genius?

#1

Post by Mom3ntuM »

I'm a big fan of mollettas designs and own a couple of Sr 11's and a m5 fixed blade.
This is another must have for me.
What do you guys/gals think?

I've been very tempted by that one myself.

I have really liked my Lionsteels. I actually like the SR-1 better than the LionSpy.

I've also had really good experiences with Sleipner. I wish spyderco would run something in that--maybe a LionSpy sprint?

I have a few LionSteel knives. ...all are top notch in design , ergos, and manufacturing!

I'm definitely going to get the aluminum version of this new Molletta design! That retractable pocket clip is ingenious and hopefully highly functional. I think the removable flipper tab is a good idea ...but more gimmicky from my point of view.

Has anyone seen the MKM line of knives out of Italy?
I have my eye on this beautiful blade. https://www.bladehq.com/item--MKM-Bur ... k--87977

I really like lionsteels Sleipner to, i think they run it quite hard (61 hrc). The Rok comes with m390 though, not a bad choice either.

I do think i'll be buying an aluminium one too, more bang for the buck, and lighter than the titanium.
I have red/Black and black/Black sr11's, so I guess it Will be a orange/Black ROK, awesome colour combo and the lionsteel dlc coating is really tough so no worries there.

Got to handle This one while visiting a friend last weekend.. Great knife, much smaller than the Sr11, but still capable.
The flipper feels a little strange, but works well (same as the T. R. E)
This particular Version with the baby blue/greenish titanium and Damascus was way over the top for me, and more than double the Price of the aluminium one.

Very nice! Did you try the retractable pocket clip? Thoughts? I really like the look of this piece!

I did try the pocket clip, i was a little surprised that when pressed open it felt a little loose, maybe it was Just This one. Other than that i liked the clip and when closed it felt solid.

Thanks for the info! Still deciding on the satin or coated blade....
