An interesting knife with many nice features and solutions. Excellent steel that stays sharp for a very long time. The knife is rather on the heavier side, but it is very solid. I recommend it.

A lightweight, folding knife designed for everyday carry EDC (Every Day Carry), created by the acclaimed Italian knifemaker Michele "Molletta" Pensato, whose signature is engraved on the blade.
Featuring a drop-point blade made from satin-finished BÖHLER M390 MICROCLEAN steel, produced using advanced powder metallurgy, the knife offers outstanding wear resistance, excellent toughness against chipping, and superior corrosion resistance.
Blade deployment is managed by a removable flipper, which also serves as added protection to prevent your hand from sliding onto the blade once open. The flipper detaches easily using a special Torx key provided in the kit. When deployed, the blade is secured by a robust and dirt-resistant frame lock, which is further enhanced by LionSteel’s patented Rotoblock® lock. This innovative locking mechanism completely prevents accidental blade closure during use.
The handle, crafted from tough black aluminum, is ergonomically contoured and finished with a non-slip texture for a secure hold during demanding tasks.
A convenient, retractable aluminum clip, designed in the H.Wayl system, allows for seamless carry without impeding knife operation in any way.
Supplied in a foam-padded box, the knife includes an NFC chip. When scanned, the chip grants users access to maintenance information and manufacturing details about the LionSteel ROK series.

The LionSteel ROK Aluminium Red knife is an absolute rarity. Italian design, as beautiful as other Italian projects (Ferrari or Sonus Faber). The opening mechanism, based on bearings, sounds like loading a Beretta (also an Italian design). The handle is made of aluminum, as a single pressed piece with an anti-slip texture providing a secure grip when working with the tool. Work with the knife is made easier by a retractable clip... and when locked with an additional disc on the frame lock, it's like a fixed blade knife. The steel is incredibly aggressive in cutting and the knife itself arrived very sharp. It's my first knife made of M390 steel (so far only had cpm20, 30, s35, and D2). My favorite blade profile is Drop-point, superb steel, beautiful design, lightweight (low weight) and excellent mechanics make this knife an ideal tool, even a piece of jewelry you carry with you. Shipping was very fast. Everything would be perfect were it not for one incident. I ordered a knife with a red handle and steel-colored blade. I received it with a red handle and a black blade. I reported the issue... but got a response that 'you do have a knife with a red handle'. It doesn't change the fact that I also like the knife with the black blade, but unfortunately there's some disappointment, especially since, to put it politely, I received a rather inconsistent, matter-of-fact, and very evasive reply (hence 4 stars in the rating). The product itself gets the highest number of stars.

This is one of my favorite knives, if not my favorite. The craftsmanship is great, and the proportions are perfectly suited to my needs. It holds its sharpness a bit too briefly with use, but this isn't a big problem because it's easy to sharpen. In summary, I highly recommend this product.

Premium quality. The blade, the handle... everything is great.
