After the successful reception of the smaller M2 lionSTEEL is back with the larger M3 with a blade steel upgrade of German Niolox steel.
LionSTEEL knows how to make a very comfortable and functional handle and the M3 is no exception.

The handles are highly ergonomic and thanks to the 3D milling they feel very secure in the hand. Handle materials available are Olive and Santos wood and Black Micarta. The wood handled variants ship with a fine, Italian Leather belt sheath while the micarta variant ships with a MOLLE compatible Cordura sheath.

Niolox is a stain resistant tool steel with good edge holding and decent toughness. Niolox contains Niobium which forms some of the hardest carbides. This in turn enhances edge retention. Niolox is a very fine grained steel with aides it's edge stability while still maintaining D2 like wear resistance.
