The SR-22 is a smaller version of the SR-11 knife, which was an upgraded version of the popular SR-1 model. The SR-11 won the Most Innovative Imported Design award at the BLADE Show in 2010. The SR-22 has several improved features, including a flipper opening with a ball bearing pivot system. This system uses two ball bearings to make it easier to open and close the blade. The knife also has a tungsten carbide window breaker for emergency situations.
Like its predecessor, the SR-22 has a Rotoblock system that locks the frame in the open position. This ensures that the blade stays securely in place while you're using it. The knife's frame is made from a single piece of aluminum, which can also be upgraded to titanium. The frame is carefully machined to provide a better grip. To prevent wear on the aluminum frame, the lockbar insert is made from stainless steel and can be replaced if needed.
The SR-22 comes with a deep carry bayonet style pocket clip that can be reversed and mounted on either side. This allows for ambidextrous tip-up carry. Overall, the SR-22 showcases LionSteel's commitment to constantly improving their products and staying at the forefront of the industry.
