Olive wood M5 with 4.5" Sleipner blade (0.177" thick).

VERY cool knife.

Got an email on the new LionSteel M5 fixed blade and it's also on their website. I'm guessing these will be out soon. Four models in all with a 4.5" long blade of Sleipner that's 0.18" thick.

Hi yes this M5 certainly looks good, hope to be able to field test and review.

NO, every time I watch one of your reviews, I end up buying another knife!

Hopefully, you'll test the BlackWashed model. Curious on how much more resistant the coated Sleipner is to the elements.

Hi , yes this PVD treated stone washed version interests me. Sleipner is well suited to PVD too.

why don't they make a black leather sheath for the micarta handled knives

KG4ULR · Mar 30, 2015

Just went to their site and thet give the description that the wooden handle knife comes with leather and the micarta with black codura. Don't know why but the leather is actually cheaper.

Shoot. I should have never looked at this thread. I just ordered a HEFT 6 Woodsman Pro and thought I would be happy for a while. Now I want one of these, too

Very reminiscent of a Swamp Rat RMD. Good looking blade:thumbup:

JD Mandrell · Apr 24, 2015

Anyone found these in stores stateside yet?

Larcivs Lepidvs · Apr 28, 2015

wow, that M5 is VERY close to my ideal fixed blade.
