LionSteel TM1 Black Micarta, Black Sleipner by Molletta (TM1 MB)

TM1 Black Micarta, Black Blade. E.D.C. folding knife by Italian LionSteel manufactory in Solid® Knife technology. Lightweight yet strong and easy to carry. The only folder with Solid technology equipped with a Back-Lock, it was quite a challenge to use micarta for the monolithic one-piece handle construction.

Design by Molletta, designed by a well-known and respected Italian designer with many years of experience. Michele Pensato (aka 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.

Sleipner - a high-alloy chrome-molybdenum-vanadium universal tool steel with high wear and chipping resistance. Achieves high hardness of 60-61 HRC. Manufactured in Swedish Uddeholm steelworks.

Blade - a modified Drop Point profile with a pronounced belly provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The Plain blade has a Flat Grind, which perfectly shows off the matte black Mil Spec finish. Thumb Disc on the back of the blade to open the knife. Located in the middle of the handle, the solid Back-Lock head lock with double spring locking mechanism provides greater flexibility of the mechanism and increased durability of the locking system.

IKBS - (ball bearing system) enables fast, smooth opening of the blade.

Handle - in Solid® Knife technology, obtained from a unique block (one piece) of waterproof micarta treated with 4D. This results in a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a strong, solid structural element. The grip facings were CNC machined to obtain an anti-slip texture. At the bottom of the handle protrusion / hilt, which protects the hand from slipping on the blade during work. Two-position left / right metal clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. Bolted to the frame with a tungsten carbide glass striking screw / nailer. In the back of the lanyard hole, a hole for a cord.

Case - the knife is packed in a soft leather case with an embossed logo of the manufacturer, fastened with two snaps.
