LionSteel SR-11 Knife Review. And Hard Use RotoBlock Lock Fail test
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- The new LionSteel SR-11A is the Blade Show knife of the year, and in this review of the knife I test the lock strength for a fail, and put it through an abuse test. The Rotolock (RotoBlock) and Reeve Integral Lock Framelock are supposed to be a tough combination. In this review I go over the flipping action, stab some wood, and beat the lock on a stump. Does the lock fail, does it stand up. Watch the whole thing!
You can buy the knife at Blade HQ: www.bladehq.com...
Or visit LionSteels website: www.lionsteel.it/
Slight Correction. The SR1 wasn't a flipper. I said it was but I also said it wasn't. The flipper is one of the updated features.
Still the best reviewer, I don't care what the FBI says.
I've been flipped. I'm snitching against myself now.
Correction. Since I am an idiot CZcamsr, I said in the very first few lines that the Sr-1 was a flipper... then contradicted myself a minute or two later. The Sr-1 wasn't a flipper, but everyone already knew that.
Chayavat Mokarakorn No worries nobody gives a flying fuck about your comments. Cheers.
+Js Dubon ok good. If they did, they would comment.
Bro, that’s a bummer on the lock fail. I thought it’d do better with that lock. Thanks for abusing your knives for our benefit to see if it’s worth it to us. Not to mention it’s massively entertaining!
i have the SR1 and test the lock is garbage it even fails more then a liners lock, SR1 $200with router lock on still fail while i did the same test with my kerahaw cheap $30 didn’t fail
I use my super steels but do use my ken onion grinder so I don’t have to spend an hr on a stone. My outdoor knives don’t have super steels so they can be sharpened on a small stone out in the woods but for edc I go with super steel folders.
Nice video bro. I hate how few knives are available with Zebra Stripes with alternating hot pink and hot purple. Also sucks about the lock failing.
Sucks more given that I filmed my review already, and can't mention your experience. I'll put your video in the comments, though.
+Nick Shabazz yeah... I normally don't harp too much on a frame lock not standing up to a beating... but this one is touted as being "like a fixed blade". And it's not quite. Again, I have the other roto(b)lock and it's rock solid. Don't know if it's just an anomaly with mine. Now if you just treat this like any other knife, it's a perfectly fine knife. There are stronger locks out there. Thanks for stopping by and the shout out!
I seriously need to binge watch your channel. Beats 75% of the crap on TV. Good reviewing slathered in self-deprecating humor and cultural satire. Absolutely gem-like.
Don't read too much into it! Just a few dick jokes and playing with gear. Ok... I do poke fun at a lot of things.
The commentary on this channel is above all exceptional. Great videos
+Ayden Neufeld Thanks! Got some more coming soon!
Great video as always! Haven't known of you for long, but you've easily became my overall favorite review channel.
Thanks man... just try to keep it light, and fun!
Sad to hear that your views don't go up.
Only knife channel that manages to make me chuckle.
+Neeverseen they've gone up a little- not a lot over the long term. I get a ton more in my first 48 hours though. No biggy- I'll just keep doing my thing!
Now that's an awesome review! While other reviewers babied their SR-11 "knife of the year, worth more than a dragonglass" you actually used it! That's Advanced Braah!!
+Old Ben it looked like it needed a beating!
Wood beams can't melt steel lockfaces
What if they could.
The chosen 1 Bladeshow 2017 was an inside job
Rodrigo Teresa Enough money is donated each year from Lionsteel to Blade. Oh, did they win again? 😉
Love the anti-PC attitude. Middle finger is so overlooked these days. : ) Just subscribed.
Thanks dude!
I don't think you know what "PC" actually means, or ever did. 🙄
I don't sound like I am cheerleadering or kissing your ass but I have to say this channel is great. You actually test the knives instead of making guesses.
+PowerMadHeadBanger if a knife is deemed "hard use" you better believe I'll whoop on it.
best knife channel. i didnt even like flash lights before i subbed to ur channel.
+depo222 thanks man! Glad you like both!
Your videos are addicting! Love the format.
+Silly Plamen thanks!
I thought it was funny and on mark, but get ready for the Benchmade fan boys. Great review.
Ha, will do- thanks!
Lol @4:19 “When I beat it, then tell you it’s fair” w00t! Thanks for the review. I’m looking at buying this one. I like the “solid”knife design
I've been away for a while, and am happy to say that you've not lost a step and entertain like no other! Doesn't curve to the left. Bwaaah! :D Keep doing what you're doing, it's golden!
+xohmyheadx thanks man... glad you came back!
Best Knife review! Laughing the whole time, and I think I learned some stuff! thumbs/sub
Thanks for subscribing man! I try to make all my knife/flashlight/headlamp reviews entertaining.
Still one of the best CZcams channels ever😀 You sound like you've been locked in a Chinese prison and forced to sale knife products, oh ..and they can't understand your sarcasm LOL.
+Airik1111 ha! I like to think I can slip some covert criticisms in sometimes. The language barrier helps!
Airik1111 ha ha. 👍🏻
Do people really dislike the profanity? I honestly dig it. Great review my guy!
+Kiing Nothing yeah some people want their knife videos bad word free! I like this video where we talk about the proper way to take down someone with a knife- but only as long as there are no four letter words!
Hahahaha three videos in and I'm already happy I've just subbed. Love the "fuck it" attitude you have man. Its great, pure entertainment
Glad you like them! I try to be a little different.
Glad I found your channel. You're the funniest knife reviewer and actually use your shit.
Thanks dude!
I smashed that like button the second I heard you were bringin back the cussin
You review knives the way i would, thanks for saving me the trouble
I saw before failing a rotolock, or it was rotoblock? well, the thing is that the rotoxxx + frame lock + fit from a high end knife would must be a lot better. I wonder about that weak lock. That piece of tree is too thick, yes, too much for the knife, but the soft hits on the spine... well. It is strange with that system lock. You would talk with lion steel and hear them.
Regards!
It's Block it's definitely block. It calls it a Rotolock here. VVVV
www.bladehq.com/item--LionSteel-SR-11-Frame-Lock-Knife--67424
LionSteel calls it a RotoBlock though. The spine whacks weren't that hard. It may as well be a regular old framelock.
I like your style and sarcasm. Subscribed after this video. I was actually looking for some info on that lock block thing and I think I got all that I needed. Thanks
Works well on my Lion Steel Spyderco Lil Lionspy, but I've had two different examples of this knife and both exhibited the same issue.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro You ever beat on any TwoSun knives? I just found your channel and haven't binge watched yet.
Don't own a single one... know of them... they seem ok, but just never got around to reviewing them. My favorite budget blades were Ganzos... they were easy to like and durable, and if you have a few of those, they're great.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro While I like Ganzo stuff, TwoSun is in an entirely different category, like Benchmade to Kershaw. I've had more than 30 different models in the past year, and all of them have been top notch. They discontinued the TS72, but if you can still find one on Amazon, I think you would be pleasantly surprised. Ive carried it for a year now of regular use and it has held up like a champ. I don't beat on it or baton though, so...
Comedy Central Knife Review....You rock at this!
+Nap Dyna Knife Review hopefully it lasts longer than 1 season!
obligatory comment to help out my favorite channel.
+Jarhead Greasemonkey thanks dude!
"Active use" 2:00 😂 . Great review, new sub.
Thanks for checking out the channel!
Advanced Knife Bro , always on the lookout for new "knife bros"
Sleipnir (shleep-neer) steel is a nod to Odin's 8 legged horse in norse mythology. The steel is made by Uddeholm, a Swedish company.
Yeah oh well. Someone mentioned that last year. Cant really fix it now!
Great review LionSteel is rock solid!
+Survival Mindset sure is!
OMG there was a small spider on the lionspy(der) at 4:00 !!!!
Btw i love sleipner-steel! Its undestroyable and super easy to sharpen!
+Michel aus Loenne there's lots of little critters in these if you look. Ants, spiders, moths, me
Advanced Knife Bro I didn't see you!
Thanks man, the quality of that Rotolock is exactly what I was looking for. I have a friend who is scared of them closing on his hands.
Just discovered your channel and I really wanted to leave a comment but didn't know on which video, so your last video seemed to be the better choice.
Leave one on them all! Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks for doing what you do! Your sarcasm and sense of humor is on point.
Great video.. I’m sad to see a knife that they put extra work into making a safe lock by adding the roto...then it failed.. over and over. I’m hoping that’s just a defective one. I have an Sr1 and a lil lionspy as well... I found both of them have to have the roto lock screw tighten pretty often just to get it to stay in the position you want it to stay in. Otherwise it’s pretty cool as a feature.
Actually, I prefer thumb studs, or want them alongside a flipper, so I guess I’ll be more interested in the earlier versions of this model…
knives, sarcasm and "bad" words............ I don't think I will have a better video in my feed today
+Steven Luke thanks a ton dude!
I saw a tic on the spyderco knife in the video at 4:02. That should be a spider instead.
Yeah it was a tiny one huh?
Not typically a fan of orange, however that orange handle looks awesome, at least on camera. Looks more like a brunt orange. A bit to pricy and heavy for me, but thanks for the review. Any EDC lights on the horizon? Rock on Knife Bro!
+lowwkey91 as a matter of fact I have a zebralight sc5c mkii review I'm working on right now. Either the first of next week or the week after. Spoiler: it's awesome!
Here's the thing about the ti vs aluminum versions: there's almost no difference in function, but aluminum will always wear out. Essentially, the aluminum lock will eventually FALL OFF, regardless of use or care, unlike titanium, which only starts breaking down past a certain angle.
Well good thing I rarely use this knife!
I know this is an old comment, but what’s going to fall off? The frame lock itself has a hardened steel insert for wear.
Thanks Mark, now I have to buy one!? Way to spend my money for me bro.... good review, too good!
+Lefty Hook that titanium one looks nice doesn't it!
Great honest fun and informative no bs review! 👍
Thanks man!
great upload and pretty funny too as for the knife testing i think you beat it like a drum at a concert no worry there
+guncotton 1 thanks man!
Great Video. I was actually thinking of getting one but I am still not sure. Even after your in depth review.
+alittleolder it's fine if you're not using it hard. Of course why not by a lighter knife with a 3+ inch blade?
Hilarious as usual! Knife of the year ,,,psh,, bought and paid for.
+Knifeguy a lot of smart people are saying that!
The cold steel triad lock makes this sr11 look like a $60 knife.
I think there were a number of subtle dick jokes in there, which is the high-quality content I've come to love from this channel.
Haha, I said come to lo...you know what...never mind.
Dick jokes up in dick jokes...
How about a second channel of you just drinking beers? No talking, no edits. Just drinking looking off Into the middle distance.
+Fitz Mouse man... if that could be my job.... now if only I could do something about these damn mosquitos that ruin a perfectly good beer sippin'
I was so excited about this knife months and months ago, but the more I got to know it the less I was liking it. I went from getting a bronze Ti to any Al on sale to "let's see when people start selling _theirs_ on IG. I think (as you noticed) it was less a point of your Rotoblock™ failing as the frame lock flexing too much. Because aluminum? Hmm, could be - but that's the whole point of an integral? I guess the jury is still out on this one.
+slidetek it'd be nice to have a pair of Ti and Al side by side to see if there's more play in the Al. My lionspy is a titanium lock- so that may be it. But yeah... the rotoblock isn't doing it's job, or just useless if there's play in the RIL.
You seriously should do voice work for Rick and morty 👌🏼
What is happening advanced knife bro? I’m contemplating this purchase right now. Is there anything you can help me with? As in five years from where you made this video how is the knife
Dude! You are nuttier than a bucket of squirrel shit! I had to subscribe!
Thanks dude! Just trying to keep knife videos fun!
I always enjoy your reviews ☺️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Watching this, and being very entertained, got me thinking about ZT 0562 as a some kind of hard use folder. Have you ever considered? Would you? Not talking about the blonde at the grocery store earlier today...
+peterko it looks nice, but I wonder how well the lock really holds. In my experience, other than the lil lionspy, frame locks and liner locks both fold. Who knows for sure though!
Keep them coming. Love the reviews
Mine curves to the left too. I don't own a lionsteel.
Sup man. Pretty sure we met on Chat Roulette
One knife I really like using outdoors is the cold steel ad15 lite . Was $50 @ MidwayUSA
your humor is great and presentation
First video watch. Won't be the last. Excellent...
+Chris Brooks thanks for checking the channel out! Glad you liked the video.
Great review
Thanks!
I would ONLY buy an SR-11 if it were available in hot pink with alternating purple
+Levon I think lionsteel is missing a big opportunity!
Do you sharpen these blades much?
+Damen0530 I do when they need it. This one is currently still pretty sharp- so I won't have to for a while. My last video- for the HEAdesigns blade- I sharpened s35vn- because it wasn't sharp enough- and I spent about 40 minutes doing it on my sharpmaker.
Just a comment...Sleipner ain't German. It's the name of Odins/Odens horse in Norse mythology. That since Böhler/Uddeholm is partly a Swedish company. /Greetings from a Swedish viewer (#knivesandbikes at IG)😊 like your videos👍
+MrAliaspostmortem good to know!
Continuing my quest to put year-later comments on all your videos...
My man!
Dude you are pretty funny. Keep up the good work.
+El Duderino or El Duderino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing. Thanks His Dudeness!
Hey man Nick shabazz referenced this video in his top comment on his review video of this knife.
+Asphyxiate14 he said he was going to do that... cool! I'll go check it out!
Great video man
+Justin Roy thanks dude!
lmao....damn you can test a new knife!!!!! but I love it. take care and see ya on the next video
+VQMAN got plenty more a coming!
Wait wait!! Some of your other vids has lead me to believe that knives were for prying?!? Is this not true, what am I suppose to use for prying a fucking pry bar?!? No sir who has time for that
Bro all knives are for prying. If you break it- an excuse to buy a new knife!
Well fuck, I wanted to like this knife.
Glad I found your channel
Gee its almost like frame locks are made to be used with your hand on the handle
I miss NOVA basement stairwells
Little stuffed animals cute little skeletons
Sleipnir is also the name of Odin's 8 legged horse that Loki gave birth to.
its a nice knife I flick it about 5 millions times everyday but not a very good edc. Very big and heavy as gentlemans folder and very fancy as workermans folder.
Too fancy for work, too big for the office. That about sums it up.
thumb stud? did you mean flipper tab?
I mean basically whatever the hell I want. I said flipper stud at one point.
oh and another awesome knife review - well done!
Thanks dude!
Your funny 😁 I enjoy your channel. Thank you.
Glad you like it, thanks!
Orange made the most sense because it's not available and hot pink or zebra stripes...... Classic
Knives gotta be flashy nowadays I guess.
good job !! thanks
I like the swearing.
+Bullpup92 me too!
keep it clean pal
I love this guy. He does not give a shit.
I don't know about you guys, but I get triggered when I see a $400 knife from a random knife company. As if we did not have enough knife companies out in the world. I feel like most expensive knifes are more of a jewelry piece then actual knives. We probably have millions of knife companies. #wedontneedanymoreknifecompanies
Hey AKB. Do you still have this and would like to sell it?
I still do, but I exchanged it for a black bladed one. Whatever video I released just after this (I forget) I show that blade. If you’re interested in that version I might- just hit me up at advancedknifebro at gmail
Have you ever tried your hand at comedy writing?
Nope. At this point in my life I have no idea how I’d even break into that.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro on a shire horse--knife in hand, reeking of piss
Edit: some guy in a metal chat room used to say that on a regular basis at the end of antisemitic rants haha. Awesome.
What model ganzo were you referring to?
Ganzo 722
If you're not going to process elk or moose or a bongo, can you at least scrounge around for a squirrel or racoon? This hunting CZcams channel blows.
Keep them coming.
+Chad Lampe hunting squirrels with just a knife!
Just found this channel, nice video 👍
Thanks man!
"Sleipner" is the horse that the Norse god Odin rides....fyi
Noted.
Just let the bro be a bro!
But seriously, what's the point of a rotolock wth play in it? I thought they were meant to be super fabuliciously strong. Guess not. Maybe Lionsteel should send titanium one for you to find out.
Love the cheap shit too, or maybe another spydie.
+Ben Galvin yeah if it doesn't keep the Frane lock, uh locked- then it's pointless. Maybe mine is just a bad example.
Advanced Knife Bro so much for their manufacturing award
What if the guy in the video wasn't the narrator 😮
+Redbullet242 waaaaaaa?
How many cubits it this lancet?
+SailfishSoundSystem bout too fiddy
It's sad state of affairs when you have to hide in a dark and dreary back staircase to flip your knives. ;-)
+Hue Janus also a good place to drink!
Typing at work really takes a toll on my wrists
Damn this is a great looking knife.
"and it doesn't even curve to the left" haha
I like your “dont give a f*** attitude”. Its a knife review channel, if people get offended they gotta grow some balls
"Hot pink and zebra stripes!" Enjoyed your review! I thought this was going to be my "hard use knife" purchase but I guess not?
"Even for small childrens!" haha Thumbs up for this type of review!!!
If you buy ganzo knives you might as well purchase forged autograph memorabilia
Sure.
Nice try. Go take your sports memorabilia somewhere else.

Not true. The one I reviewed... the higher end one is on bearings. Check out the link below.
