LionSteel T.R.E. Three Rapid Exchange Carbon Fiber Frame Lock

Lionsteel TRE (Three Rapid Exchange) BLADE Show Overall Knife of the Year 2015!  

The Lionsteel T.R.E. Carbon Fiber flipper is an elegant titanium framelock designed by Michele “Molletta” Pensato and offers a slick and modern take on the classic Gentleman’s knife.  This variant of the T.R.E. features a patented system that allows the user to carry the knife in three configurations: with the removable thumb disk, with the removable flipper, or with neither.  In any configuration the blade opens smoothly, driven by the IKBS ball-bearing pivot system. Lightweight, strong and comfortable carbon fiber has been 3D machined to form the front side of the handle while the backside is precision machined titanium forming a framelock with lock-bar insert and built-in overtravel protection.  Milled gray titanium backspacer and reversible (right or left) pocket clip for tip-up carry.  Includes a wooden storage box with additional hardware and torx tool key chain to assist in rapid exchange.  New from Lion Steel, Italy.
