LionSteel TM1 Green Canvas Micarta, Satin Sleipner by Molletta (TM1 CVG)

TM1 Green Canvas Micarta, Satin folding knife by E.D.C. Italian manufactory LionSteel with 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 considering the use of 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 (a.k.a. Molletta), is distinguished by a new approach to the use of materials and experimentation in the application of heat treatment and the use of advanced software in knife design.

Sleipner - a versatile high-alloy chrome-molybdenum-vanadium tool steel with high wear and chipping resistance with a balanced alloy composition: chromium content of 7.8% (Cr), 0.9% carbon (C), molybdenum 2.5% (Mo) and vanadium 0.5% (V). It achieves a high hardness of 60-62 HRC. Manufactured at Uddeholm steel plant.

Blade - modified Drop Point profile with clearly marked belly provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Plain blade was derived with Flat Grind, which perfectly presents a matte satin finish. Thumb Disc on the back of the blade to open the knife. Located in the middle of the handle, the solid Back-Lock blade 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 unique block (one piece) of waterproof micarta treated 4D. As a result, a monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength was obtained, which is a strong, solid structural element. The grip facings were CNC machined, obtaining an anti-slip texture. On the underside of the handle protrusion / hilt, protecting the hand from slipping on the blade during operation. A two-position left/right metal clip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up (tip up) position. Bolted to the frame with a screw / glass beater made of tungsten carbide. In the back of the linings lanyard hole, a hole for a cord.
