It&#8217;s a slip-joint, and that is part of the attraction, as in the UK, for EDC-legal carry, it has to be non-locking &#8211; but there is so much more. The handle and spring are machined from a single solid piece of titanium, it has IKBS pivot bearings, a M390 blade and the stealth &#8216;hideaway&#8217; pocket clip, making it a fully loaded package. Join me in this review of the lionSTEEL Thrill, a slip-joint pocket knife.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

The combination of the titanium body and steel spring liner gives it a kind of &#8216;sheeesh sheeesh&#8217; sound I&#8217;ve not heard on any other knife. Well here it is, I love it&#8230;<br \/>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-9835-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Thrill-action-final.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Thrill-action-final.mp3\">https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Thrill-action-final.mp3<\/a><\/audio><br \/>\nThat action feels great with the pivot bearings making the motion super slick, yet the spring strength makes the blade feels secure. A half-stop lets you change grip as you open it all the way, keeping control of the blade.<\/p>\n<p>With the H.WAYL clip system, you can completely forget this knife has a pocket clip. Personally I would not want to trust this clip for two reasons; firstly, the clip&#8217;s &#8216;spring&#8217; pressure is provided by the button spring, and this is not very strong (or you would struggle to open it), and secondly, the underside of the clip is straight and smooth, so has no &#8216;bump&#8217; or texture to resist sliding off a pocket edge (in fact it gets easier to pull off the further up it moves, without that final clinch).<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, and the lack of lanyard attachment, I have taken to carrying this in a belt pouch (as in the gallery below) which has proven to work very well.<\/p>\n<p>My nails are not very strong, so I don&#8217;t like to open stiff blades using a nail-nick; there is, however, enough blade accessible when the Thrill is closed to allow me to pinch grip the blade to open it, so it has been completely comfortable to use.<\/p>\n<p>Blade shape and geometry has proven itself time and again. A full flat grind combined with a blade that is not too thick and not too thin, means it cuts really well. The point of the blade punctures eagerly, helped by the narrow point-angle and swedge. (Of course you must always be careful and utilise correct technique when using the point of a slip-joint, as if you get it wrong you can make the blade close on your fingers.)<\/p>\n<p>Being a slip-joint provides you with a freedom to carry the knife that far outweighs any limitations of not having a locking blade.  <\/p>\n<p>The Thrill has been my EDC for a good time now and takes all those daily duties in its stride while leaving you with the feeling it IS something special. <\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-9869 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-9869 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-9869\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201006_164059.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9870\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201006_164059\/3599430302.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201007_135440.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9871\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201007_135440\/1902593649.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201007_135743.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9872\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201007_135743\/3757261790.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201007_135820.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9873\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201007_135820\/2508787455.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201019_165607.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"9874\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2020\/10\/PSX_20201019_165607\/2131230013.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>Review Summary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this summary table are from the point of view of the reviewer\u2019s personal use.
