Description
Acha gets its name from the way it has been built: the blade tang goes “ACross the HAndle”, and it is fixed at the end with an original steel nut.It is classy, elegant but at the same time a strong and robust EDC fixed blade knife that features an M390 steel satin finished blade, joint into the Solid handle through a 3D CNC milled Titanium guard.
The SOLID handle is available in three different variations of Burlap Micarta, its ergonomics fit comfortably the hand palm of the knife user with any kind of grasp.
The cap of the steel nut at the end of the handle has been lathe machined in order to allow the disassembly of the Acha, just for cleaning and maintenance purposes.
There is a steel key in the box that has to go through the nut holes and can be used as a lever to unscrew the cap. Acha was designed by Molletta and it is the first knife in LionSteel family built in this special way.
