Fittingly timed, a buddy of mine sent me a bunch of pictures of his LionSpy because he wants me to help him sell it on eBay. (This is not a for sale post, BTW.) Imagine my surprise to learn that this son of a bitch originally retailed for $500!

It's a weird one, with a G10 scale on one side and a bare titanium scale on the other side, both with the same wavy pattern machined into them.

It looks like it got squished along it's length. What an odd knife. I do like how the pattern is milled on both sides. I'm normally not a huge fan of frame locks because of how different each side usually looks.

It's definitely not for everyone, but it's a great knife. Here's mine compared to the SR1 that it's based on:

And here's mine disassembled:

The MSRP may have been $500, but MAP was ~$280.
