LionSTEEL Gitano Green Canvas Micarta
Code: GT01CVGRelated products
Product detailed description
"My idea with the Gitano model was to make a closing knife that is based on traditional Southern European knives, but in a new style. What I like about this knife is its elegant lines and often powerful blades in relation to the handles", describes knife designer Gudy van Poppel.
LionSteel fell in love with Gudy's idea and decided to start a new collaboration with him and Tools For Gents. The Gitano is simply an E.D.C. (Every Day Carry) knife that has joined the "Tradition by LionSteel" range.
The Gitano comes with a stainless steel satin Niolox blade. It is available with titanium bolsters and 6AI4V liners, while the sheath can be made from olive wood, sandos wood, green G10, black G10 or carbon.
Thanks to its light weight and average dimensions, the Gitano is an elegant new knife that can be used in any situation.

LionSteel was founded in 1969 in Maniago, where knife making is as traditional as in Solingen, Germany. It was founded by Mr. Gino Pauletta, and was mainly focused on contract manufacturing of knives from other manufacturers. A few years later, the company produced the first knives of its own design, thus creating the LionSTEEL brand. The name of the factory is given by the stone statue of a lion standing in front of the building and the material from which the knives are made.
At the end of the 1990s, the founder's three sons, John Daniel and Maximus, join the work. At that time, the company made a great leap in quality with the introduction of digital machine control.
At this time the company has fifteen employees and sells its products not only in Europe but also in the USA. It focuses on the production of knives of the highest quality. The company's philosophy is to supply knives made exclusively in Italy. None of the knives or their components are made in Asia.
