Product detailed description
The LionSTEEL-Emerson ONE project continues: the L.E.One Mid model offers a compact and ultra-light version of the iconic SOLID® folding karambit, developed in collaboration with Ernest Emerson. The knife combines LionSTEEL's precision Italian craftsmanship with Emerson Design's functional elements, resulting in a practical, quick-to-use EDC karambit with a distinctive character.
The knife head features a blade made of premium Böhler M390 steel, available in a stonewash finish or with a black PVD coating — the choice for those who demand maximum edge durability and corrosion resistance. The SOLID® handle is milled from a single piece of Ergal aluminum, giving the knife low weight and high rigidity; available in ice blue, red, green, or black.
The L.E.One Mid is the ideal choice for users who want a compact, technically advanced karambit — light to carry but ready for demanding use.

LionSteel was founded in 1969 in Maniago, an Italian town known for knife making as deeply rooted as the tradition found in Solingen. The founder Gino Pauletta built the company on precision manufacturing and deep respect for steel, values that shaped its early development. Initial production focused on contract manufacturing for other brands, allowing extensive technical experience and process knowledge to grow. In time, original designs appeared and the LionSTEEL brand was born, inspired by the stone lion standing in front of the factory and by the strength of the materials used. Clean mechanics and refined construction remain key characteristics of the brand.
During the late 1990s, the founder’s sons John, Daniel and Maximus joined the business and introduced a modern manufacturing approach. The adoption of digitally controlled machinery marked a major step forward in consistency and finish. By combining CNC technology with skilled manual inspection, LionSteel achieved a distinctive balance between innovation and craftsmanship. Each knife reflects careful design choices aimed at reliability, ergonomics and long-term use.
Today LionSteel operates as a compact manufacturer with full control over every stage of production. Products reach markets across Europe and the United States, while the commitment to exclusive Italian manufacturing without Asian components remains absolute. This philosophy ensures traceable materials, stable quality and knives built for lasting performance, representing a modern expression of traditional Italian knife making.
