The **LionSteel T6** is a large, sturdy fixed knife. It’s the middle brother of the family, because its size falls exactly in between the [LionSteel T5] and the [LionSteel M7]. Just like its brothers, this knife is very solidly built. This knife was intended as an all-round tactical field knife. From making a fire to food preparation, the LionSteel T6 has got you covered.
Remarkable about this T6 is the use of CPM 3V steel. This is an extremely strong, American type of steel. When you look up CPM 3V tests on Youtube you will see that this steel was improved to be extremely tough. As such this LionSteel T6 can handle its own! CPM 3V also retains its sharpness well and is easy to sharpen. Do be careful around acids and salt: CPM 3V is not completely stainless. It can therefore form a patina. Or rust, if you don’t maintain it well. Fortunately, a couple drops of oil once in a while will go a long way.
A defining feature of the *LionSteel T6* is the micarta handle. This handle is milled from one solid piece of micarta. As a result, the handle is very strong. It also feels great in hand. You can sense straight away that this knife can handle quite a lot. The large finger guard at the front of the handle gives you plenty of grip on the knife. It keeps your fingers away from the edge when you’re using the knife for heavier tasks. The handle is large – large enough to hold it with a full fist. Even while wearing gloves.
The LionSteel T6 comes in a handy kydex belt sheath. It has a nylon belt loop (max. belt width 10 cm). This belt loop also functions as an extended MOLLE attachment. This gives you the freedom to carry the T6 any way you want.
