Not a good folder (IMO). Bad ergos and runs on teflon washers which is absurd for an integral at this price.

YupNeckYeah it is one of the Early Lionsteel Integrals (like the sr1/sr2).
However this would not be an issue if the was smooth. But the one I handled in a store was not really smooth.
Also the lockbar cutout is way too wide.
If you want a great Lionsteel, go with the Tm1.

Pasha12Please educate me on this. What kind of washers (or bearings) are to be expected in a $200+ knife?

zsoumyaHigher end knives will typically have phosphor bronze or bronze washers, but some makers will use teflon because it provides a smoother surface against steel. I guess its a matter of preference, but I believe you will get better quality/durability with bronze/phoshor bronze over teflon. Lion Steel makes great, quality products and at $320, I would like to have the best quality components possible, especially for such a beautiful knife. Even a Kershaw Skyline at $60 retail, has bronze washers.
