LionSteel T4 Knife Natural Burlap Micarta, Stonewashed CPM 3V by Molletta (T4 BLN)

LionSTEEL T4 Natural Burlap Micarta, Stonewashed CPM 3V by Molletta – a compact outdoor knife made with CPM 3V

lionSTEEL T4 BLN is a compact fixed-blade knife with a classic, outdoor design, featuring natural Burlap Micarta paired with a stonewashed CPM 3V blade. Designed by Michele “Molletta” Pensato, it retains the ruggedness of the T series but in a more manageable format.

The one-piece milled SOLID® handle provides a secure, firm grip, while the coarser texture of the Burlap Micarta emphasizes the knife’s practical nature. The Cordura + Kydex sheath with the MOLLE system facilitates safe carrying of the knife during outdoor activities.

CPM 3V – Steel for Demanding Applications

CPM 3V steel is valued primarily for its high impact resistance and resistance to cracking and chipping. It allows for the construction of field knives with a high margin of strength, without the need to excessively thicken the edge geometry.

Drop Point – a versatile cutting geometry

Drop Point offers a durable tip and a smoothly curved cutting edge. The flat grind is well-suited for outdoor tasks where both effective cutting and the durability of the entire blade are important.

Natural Burlap Micarta

Natural Burlap Micarta showcases the material’s distinctive, pronounced weave. This gives the handle a more rugged, classic look and a surface that complements the model’s outdoor character.

SOLID® Construction

Using SOLID® technology, the handle is milled from a single block of material. This solution eliminates the traditional arrangement of separate grips and maintains a uniform construction and the knife’s distinctive silhouette.

Cordura + Kydex Sheath

The carrying system combines rigid Kydex with Cordura fabric and a MOLLE attachment. This makes it easy to both protect the blade and conveniently attach the knife to compatible gear.
