As the title says, I am looking extremely hard at the LionSteel T5!

First off she is a looker! But beyond that I see a boatload of functionality,

All the reviews I have seen and read are very positive. I have dedicated a Bushcraft knives, dedicated fighting knives, and many others that slide somewhere in between. Looking for a “Universal Do It All” belt knife. Jack of all, master on none, type knife.

Stumbled upon the T5 quite by accident, looks to be a great fit for my current and future needs.

Tell me what you all think if you have any experience with one,

Thank you in advance for your advice and feedback!

LV,
 
Can't talk about the T5, but I have an M5 and two M7s. All three consistently too thick behind the edge, needed some work. Otherwise very happy! I prefer the M7 because....well, there's just more of it.

I see the T5 comes in Niolox instead of Sleipner, so it leans more to the stainless side. I haven't had any rust issues with the Sleipner though. Clean after use, yada yada yada.
 
I bought a T5 a long long time ago as my only fixed blade. And while it didnt get the adventures in the woods it deserved it was an excellent knife with a handle that feels like it shapes and molds into your hand and it came sharp and ready for use
It quickly felt like an extension to my hand and was not unwieldy at all despite being a "larger" knife. Go for it. Or---
Look at the Helle Nord, in my opinion probably a better knife
 
I was just looking at the T5 online last night. Looks good but a little big for my taste currently. I have the M3 with Niolox and it performs well. However , I do prefer the M4 and M2M due to their size and M390 blades. I feel like you can never go wrong with Lion Steel.
 
LionSteel makes a great product...... Not many complaints about quality at all.......Maybe thick folder blade behind the edge but that's it.

I have fixed and folders made by them and recommend them 100%.....👍👍👍
 
Thanks everyone for the feedback thus far.

Seems to follow what I have read about them!

All good, but perhaps a little thick.
