LionSteel Tactical Knife Green Canvas Micarta, Satin Niolox by Molletta (T5 CVG)

T5 Tactical Green Canvas Micarta, Satin a compact version of the tactical M7, the legendary knife from the Italian LionSteel manufactory. The aim was to create a more manageable, easier to carry but still reliable tool with a large blade for any field use. Also aimed at bushcraft, survival and hunting enthusiasts. A knife that will last for years!

Design by Molletta, designed by a well-known and respected Italian designer with many years of experience. Michele Pensato (a.k.a. Molletta), is distinguished by a new approach to the use of materials and experiments in the application of heat treatment and the use of advanced software in the design of knives.

Niolox - a tool steel with good edge holding and high strength. Hardened in the range of 58-60 HRC. It is characterised by aggressive cutting and good impact strength. The name comes from the element niobium (Nb), one of the best carbides, which contributes to the wear resistance of the steel. Niolox contains 0.7% of it. Easy to sharpen with moderate corrosion resistance, it contains 8.5% chromium. Manufactured by German Lohmann steelworks.

Blade - massive Drop Point with clearly marked belly. Satin smooth Plain blade with Flat Grind provides strength and tapering of the blade towards the tip reduces weight improving geometry of the cutting edge. On the back of the upper jimping, notched thumb rest for better control of the knife.

Handle - made in Solid® technology, obtained from a unique block (one piece) of waterproof Micara Green Canvas. This results in a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a strong, solid construction element. The grip facings have been machined 4D to obtain an anti-slip texture with excellent grip. The enlarged protrusion acts as a hilt protecting the hand from slipping on the blade. Bolt with lanyard hole, can also serve as a hammer.  

Scabbard - extended, protecting the blade together with a part of the handle. Hand sewn, made of natural leather in black with embossed manufacturer's logo. The edges of the holster are sewn with a double decorative stitch. The holster is fastened with a Prym snap. Mounting to the belt or to the equipment allows you to carry the knife in an upright position.
