lionSTEEL T4 BLB combines the compact design of the T-Series with a Black Burlap Micarta handle featuring a strongly defined weave pattern. The Drop Point blade made of CPM 3V steel and the stonewashed finish emphasize the practical purpose of this model, designed by Michele “Molletta” Pensato.
The SOLID® handle is machined from a single block of Micarta, ensuring a uniform shape and a secure grip. The knife is complemented by a Cordura + Kydex sheath with a MOLLE system, designed for practical carrying in the field.
CPM 3V – High Load Resistance
CPM 3V is a tool steel designed for impact resistance and edge durability. It is well-suited to the nature of a rugged outdoor knife, which must remain functional during demanding tasks.
Drop Point with a flat grind
The Drop Point profile provides a strong tip and a versatile edge curve. The flat grind supports efficient cutting while maintaining adequate material thickness on the blade.
Stonewashed – a finish built for work
The stonewashed finish gives the blade a matte, irregular surface that fits well with its outdoor character. Minor signs of wear are less visible on it than on more uniform surfaces.
Black Burlap Micarta
Burlap Micarta features a more pronounced weave than classic Canvas Micarta, giving the handle a more defined texture and a rustic look. The black version remains subdued but clearly emphasizes the T4’s rugged character.
MOLLE-Compatible Sheath
The sheath combines Kydex and Cordura, providing rigid protection for the knife and the ability to mount it on a MOLLE system. This design makes it easy to integrate the T4 with a belt, backpack, or other outdoor gear.
Why choose the lionSTEEL T4 BLB?
This is the model for those who prefer heavily textured Micarta and a classic, utilitarian blade finish. The design remains compact while retaining the ruggedness and character of the entire T-Series family.
