The M3 is a Mik Molletta design.

Total length: 235 mm. - 9.25 in.
Blade length: 105 mm. - 4.13 in.
Blade thickness: 5 mm. - 0.20 in.
Total weight: 230 gr. - 8.11 oz.
Blade steel: Niolox stainless steel

Niolox is a good steel for a bushcraft knife in my opinion. It has all the characteristics of stainless steel but properties of a tool steel. It t is also more budget friendly than a premium steel

The steel is made by Lohman, a German company that has been making premium steel since 1790 and an innovator in new steels

Niolox is a stain resistant tool with good edge holding and decent toughness. Niolox contains Niobium an excellent carbide former. Niolox has a typical work hardness range 58 - 63HRc. Niolox is a very fine grained steel with aides it's edge stability but maintains D2 like wear resistance

Blade finish: Satin finished

Handle material: Black Micarta
