Anyone got this knife and know how it is?

How is the heat treat? Hrc? thickness behind the edge?

how is the grinds? fit n finish? etc etc

just seams like a way to good of a deal to be true so want to hear how it is in real world use with a good thin edge.
 
I have one but haven't had a chance to put it to use yet. The grip is comfy and the worksmanship on the knife and sheath are first rate. It's thin behind the edge also and extremely sharp out of the box, probably the sharpest knife I have ever owned out of the the box except a Phil Hartsfield zero chisel ground custom I had. That's saying a lot!
 
I have one, and they are absolutely amazing. The fit and finish are superb as with all lionsteel fixed blades, at least all the ones I own, (m2 through m5) the grinds are perfect and uniform on each side.
 
I've been looking for a good companion knife to match with a arge Chopper. And I think I found my knife. I've always wanted to try m390 Steel.

My olive wood M4 is quite impressive. Both plunge grinds are symmetrical and the overall fit and finish is better than I'm accustomed to in knives three times its retail price. So impressed was I that i promptly ordered a second one. It, too, was as well executed as my first. One aesthetic and comfort detail that seems to be common with LionSteel knives is the nicely radiused blade spine. Not only is this very evenly done, but it keeps the 3-5/8 inch blade from looking too "slabby." It's a small detail true, but it suggests folks at LionSteel really care about giving a buyer his money's worth.
 
Europe is a good place to buy Lionsteel as we tend to get it cheaper then other places. I've had good experience with Lamnia.

Thats one of the reasons i want to buy it. 157€ on lamnia, not bad but nowhere near of the 127$ that the US shops offer :)
 
Well, actually it's $127.96 with free shipping to all fifty states to be absolutely precise!
