Brand new, direct from LionSteel of Italy.

Blade: The LionSteel T5 has a high-height, saber ground, drop point blade with a nearly full length swedge giving it an excellent combination of cutting performance, strength, and piercing capability.

This version has a discreet, tumbled black PVD coated finish that hides wear well and a razor sharp plain cutting edge.

It has well contoured, 3D machined, monolithic green canvas Micarta handle is attached via Torx screws for easy cleaning and maintenance. A single lanyard hole is drilled through the rear of the handle for additional security in use and carry. A rear portion of the tang is exposed for use in hard use, non-cutting tasks.

Niolox: Lohmann Niolox is a stain resistant tool steel with good edge holding and decent toughness. Even without being a particle metallurgy steel Niolox is a very fine-grained steel, which is a positive and aids with edge stability. Performance will be comparable to AISI D2 in terms of wear resistance with better edge stability.
