LionSteel TM1 Carbon Fiber, Black Sleipner by Molletta (TM1 CB)

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

Design by Molletta, designed by a well-known and respected Italian designer with 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.

Sleipner - high-alloy chrome-molybdenum-vanadium, versatile tool steel with high wear and chipping resistance. Achieves high hardness of 60-62 HRC. Manufactured in Uddeholm steelworks in Sweden.

Blade - modified Drop Point profile with pronounced belly provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Smooth blade (Plain type) was made with Flat Grind cut, which perfectly shows off the Mil Spec matte black 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 locking spring mechanism provides greater flexibility of the mechanism and increased durability of the locking system.

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

Handle - in Solid® Knife technology, obtained from a single piece (block) of carbon fiber treated with 4D. Thanks to this a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength was obtained, which is a strong, solid construction element. 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 operation. Two-position left/right metal clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. Bolted to frame with 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 snap-fastened soft leather case with an embossed manufacturer's logo.
