@krispy022 We only got two aluminum ones from Lion Steel at the SHOT show, so the actual ship date is in February. Be sure to pick one up, they are hard to beat!

Nice to see a vid from you guys, thanks for the great customer service and excellent prices!

@Kylef7735 I guess I was referring more to how much negative pressure the lock can take before the cutout part of the locking frame will deform.

You guys have such an awesome selection its hard to find a starting point but I did notice you guys got a DDR carbon fiber balisong that would be nice to see, among others.

Thats a freaking BEAUTIFUL knife, I want a lionsteel so bad. Maybe the spyderco lionspy when it comes out.

@ RDS5284 Thanks for the support! Let us know if there are any videos you would like to see.

I'm really interested in how that aluminum lock is gonna hold up.

[Kylef]

@brottarnacke people give it a rough time, but aluminum is actually really strong stuff, they make jets, guns and bicycles from it, I would trust my life to it.

[Kylef]

@brottarnacke Well its got the steel wear insert, so i know it wont wear more than a standard steel framelock, so what are you wondering about?

[Kylef]

@jbvap I bet it will be just as expensive, or really close.

[Kylef]

Every lock has a spring that has to bend everytime you lock it open or unlock it. This one is no different, and if youre claiming you can bend the solid aluminum handles, youre full of crap.

lol i wouldn't trust a handle that i can bend...
