Design by Molletta

Molletta is the Italian pseudonym of Michele Pensato, a designer and knifemaker whose passion, he claims, “got out of hand”. Pensato, as an avid archaeological enthusiast, often complained about the tools he used during his trips. So he decided to create a knife that would meet his expectations. This is how the adventure that continues to this day began, and Molletta himself, closely associated with the LionSTEEL brand, is one of the most recognized Italian designers. Molletta is an avid lover of innovation and a supporter of an unconventional approach to design issues, eagerly reaching for modern technologies in her work.

About presented ROK knife

Premium steel

Knife blade is made of the highest quality M390 steel. M390 is one of the few steels available on the market in the absolute top quality of materials used in the production of premium knives. The M390 blade is extremely resistant to overload, stays sharp for a long time (wears very slowly) and has excellent anti-corrosion properties.

Drop point blade

The knife blade has a drop point profile with flat grind, very versatile in use, dedicated to any type of work. It’s satin finished.

Smooth opening and frame lock

The knife is opened due to a subtly protruding from the blade, a removable flipper. The knife unfolding is very easy and smooth thanks to the ball bearings. The knife has a stable and durable frame lock protecting against accidental closing. A steel insert is placed in the aluminium lock to increase the life of the locking mechanism. In the area of the lock leaf we will also find the ROTOBLOCK system, which protects against excessive pulling of the lock outside the handle (overtravel stop) and can also block the lock leaf from accidental folding of the knife. To do this, it is enough to turn the ring at the moment when the knife is unfolded.

ReF – innovation by LionSTEEL

Removable flipper system (ReF) is a fairly innovative approach to the topic of opening a folding knife, which allows the user to interfere with the structure and decide how the knife will be unfolded. It is enough to unscrew the flipper and screw in a blind screw with a special tool included.

Aluminium SOLID handle

The knife handle is made of one pice of aluminium. It is a durable material, light and practically stainless. SOLID, integral handle does not have a separate frame, scales or liners. This makes the handle more durable and is not exposed to torsional stresses and the blade has a solid stabilization during work.

H.WAYL pocket clip

A  pocket clip located at the end of the knife handle allows you to move the closed blade tip up. The clip is made of aluminum and is LionSTEEL’s patented H.WAYL solution. This system makes it easy to remove and store the knife in your pocket. At the same time, the clip is hidden when using the knife and does not interfere with the hand holding the knife.
