M3 vs. M5 Comparison

[tantrik77]

Can someone from LionSteel please post pictures of these two knives together? I would like to see them side by side.

Thanks in advance.

Gianni?

It would be nice to see a M3, M5, M7 and a Dendra Russian bear on one picture

There you go:

Lionsteel M5 (241mm) with PVD coating/stonewashed Sleipner blade (115mm) and G10 handle
Lionsteel M3 (235mm) with Niolox blade (105mm) and Micarta handle
Lionsteel M2 (195mm) with D2 blade (90mm) and olivewood handle

There you go:

Lionsteel M5 (241mm) with PVD coating/stonewashed Sleipner blade (115mm) and G10 handle
Lionsteel M3 (235mm) with Niolox blade (105mm) and Micarta handle
Lionsteel M2 (195mm) with D2 blade (90mm) and olivewood handle

That BlackWashed M5 looks slick/cool and probably affords better corrosive protection than the no PVD models.

I can only speak for D2: dry it and put a rust inhibitor on it after use and you will be fine in the worst conditions. Just don't ignore it.
