The SOG Winder II Heavy Duty Folding Knife (model SOG00009) exemplifies high quality and precision in knife making. With a blade length of 8.8 cm and a thickness of 4.7 mm, it is perfect for all kinds of tasks, providing excellent performance in cutting, slicing and piercing. The black textured Kraton handle provides an excellent grip, while the sturdy Lockback mechanism ensures safety during use.

The knife has an ambidextrous design, making it easy for both left- and right-handed people to use, and its compactness (11.4 cm when closed) makes it convenient to carry in a pocket or backpack. Made in Seki, Japan, a city with a long tradition of knife making, the Winder II is synonymous with high quality and craftsmanship.

Purchased in 1994 from the well-known Hoffritz cutlery chain in New York and now discontinued, it is a collector's item of great historical value. This knife, from a private collection, shows no signs of use, and is a prized piece for enthusiasts and collectors.

Ago is the new fixed blade knife in the lionSTEEL EDC line for 2024. Featuring a slim and refined design, it is designed to be elegant and functional, ideal for everyday use. It comes with a sophisticated leather pocket sheath that enhances its portability.

The blade, made of M390 steel with a satin finish, offers top-level performance in terms of resistance and cutting, while the SOLID® handle integrates a titanium ferrule that also acts as a guard, ensuring strength and safety during use. The handle, available in different variants, stands out for its slender shape that allows for a versatile grip, suitable for different needs.

ROK, which is part of the SOLID knives family obtained from a single piece of aluminum or titanium, has two important innovations:

* the introduction of the new H.WAYL System; this is a LionSteel patent that allows the clip to disappear inside the handle during use of the knife. The clip can only appear when needed.

* the introduction of NFC technology in the knife box. With this system, the user no longer has to search for product information, but the knife itself makes it available: maintenance instructions, in-depth information on the production process, or more general information on LionSteel.

As was already the case for the TRE model, the user has the option of removing the flipper, thus opting for a more traditional two-handed blade opening. The ROK also features the Rotoblock safety system and a steel tip on the end of the blade lock bar: this prevents possible breakages or wear caused by the blade itself.
