Lionsteel Chnops
The Chnops evolves into a bold new graphic interpretation—designed for design-conscious carry enthusiasts, everyday users, and collectors who demand serious performance paired with striking visual identity. This Italy-made folder features a 2.95-inch Becut blade at 0.14 inches thick with black Top Shield coating, hardened to 56-58 HRC for reliable edge retention and corrosion resistance. At 7.17 inches overall, the Chnops balances distinctive design expression with practical everyday functionality—a tool that performs as confidently as it looks.
The iconic original Chnops seamlessly blends functionality and design with a stronger visual impact through creative graphics that reinterpret the historic model while preserving its proven performance, ergonomics, and reliability. The anodized aluminum frame with UV printing creates an unmistakable visual character that opens the door to expressive variations and artistic collaborations. The black idroglider AISI 420 liner lock mechanism delivers reliable blade retention with intuitive operation, while the black anodized aluminum spacer complements the refined aesthetic throughout. Raven Knives Design's approach transforms the Chnops into a functional object with unique character—proof that serious cutting capability and artistic expression aren't mutually exclusive, but complementary forces in thoughtful design.
