The Real Steel Luna Maius Lockback Pocket Knife

Luna Maius: The Ultimate EDC Evolution

Real Steel Knives proudly introduces the Luna Maius, a triumphant evolution of the original Luna. Born from the creative partnership with Poltergeist Works, the Luna Maius stands as a larger, stronger, and bolder EDC version, built for tougher tasks and everyday challenges. This new iteration isn’t just an upgraded version of the Luna XL; it is a knife designed to push the boundaries of EDC utility while maintaining the sleekness that made the original Luna popular.

What Makes Luna Maius Stand Out?

While the Luna Maius shares many of its DNA with the original Luna, it introduces several features that make it a standout in the knife world:

1. Larger & Stronger Build:
   The Luna Maius offers a bigger design and more muscle than its predecessor, allowing it to handle more demanding tasks. Despite the larger size, the knife retains an elegant, compact profile, making it a strong candidate for everyday carry without feeling bulky.

2. Locking Folder Design:
   Due to the increased size, Luna Maius is designed as a locking folder, featuring the reliable backlock mechanism, offering better safety and strength than its slip-joint counterpart.

3. Full Flat Grind Blade:
   Retaining the full flat grind from the original Luna, the Luna Maius boasts an N690 steel blade with an impressive edge retention and corrosion resistance. The addition of a fuller allows for the installation of a thumb stud, making it ambidextrous and easier to deploy one-handed.

4. Titanium Handle with Stunning 3D Milling:
   The knife’s handle is made from solid titanium, milled into a 3D contour that perfectly fills the hand for maximum comfort. The handle features anodizing and stonewashing, offering both a durable texture and a vintage visual appeal. Hidden screws for the pocket clip maintain a clean and refined aesthetic, while oversized screws elsewhere enhance its rugged look.

5. Unique Features:

   • Smooth Lockback Action: Bearings on the locking bar ensure that the blade locks into place with a smooth and precise action.
   • Deep Carry Pocket Clip: The 3D milled pocket clip allows for deep carry, ensuring the knife remains secure and discreet when carried.
   • Customizable Thumb Stud: The thumb stud is optional, enabling the knife to comply with legal regulations in more regions while providing easy one-handed opening.

Lockback Mechanism: Built for Durability

The backlock mechanism is one of the most robust and reliable locking systems available. This mechanism involves a spring-loaded bar engaging with a notch on the blade spine, locking the blade securely in place during use. Some key advantages of the backlock mechanism include:

• Durability: Known for withstanding repeated use and harsh conditions.
• Ambidextrous Operation: Easy to operate for both left- and right-handed users.
• Safety: The backlock adds an extra layer of safety by preventing accidental blade closure.

How to Close the Luna Maius

1. Hold the knife handle with your dominant hand, fingers wrapped around the handle.
2. Use your thumb to push the lock release mechanism at the rear end of the handle.
3. While holding the lock release, use your other hand to carefully push the blade back into the handle.
4. Release the lock mechanism as the blade moves into the closed position, then push it all the way in until you hear the "click" that signals the blade is securely locked in place.
