The **LionSteel M5 CPM 3V Knivesandtools Exclusive** is an all-round fixed knife. This knife can easily be used as a survival knife, but is also great as a hunting knife or all-round camping knife.

This is a special edition of the LionSteel M5. Namely, a Knivesandtools Exclusive. This means that this edition was specifically produced for Knivesandtools, and is only exclusively sold at Knivesandtools.

Remarkable about this Exclusive 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 M5 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.

Like the regular M5, the spine of this edition is nicely rounded. As such you can apply pressure with your thumb when you use the knife, without it becoming uncomfortable.

The handle of this M5 is made from Canvas Micarta. It offers a lot of grip and will form a nice patina in time. As such the knife will become unique!

Another unique feature of this edition of the LionSteel M5 is the leather sheath. At first glance it might look similar to the regular M5 sheath. When you look at the back, however, you see that this sheath is MOLLE compatible. It is enhanced with leather MOLLE webbing.

This LionSteel M5 with CPM 3V was only produced a limited amount of times.

Endlich der 3V gut gemacht,scheide gut aber die Leder zu trocken, geölt wieder wunderbar.Alles zu empfehlen 

I have several Lionsteel knives and have been really impressed with the materials, fit and finish are always spot on. I had said I wouldn't buy another as the one I've kept is the best. And then the ever excellent Knives & Tools send me details of yet another Lionsteel, the M5 this time. The one I've kept is the T5....... So no reason to bother with the M5 except... CPM 3V steel. How could I not. 🤷 And I'm glad I did. What an amazing blade. I've stropped it right down to 0.5 micron diamond emulsion and I have no doubt this will handle any job where sharpness is involved. And tough. A lot tougher than anything I've used before. Edge retention remains to be tested but I don't doubt that it will excel; results will be added as an EDIT. 
The micarta scales and beautiful and as always with Lionsteel, ergonomically brilliant, even with my 2xl+ sized hands. 
So far, it would need to be chiselled from my cold dead hand. 

Le couteau parfait avec l'acier parfait a un prix défiant toute concurrence.La finition Stone wash de la lame est une réussite. Même l'étui m'a agréablement surpris. 
Bref je suis comblé 

Finition irreprochable un petit nouveau dans  ma collection, merci pour l'envoi Rapides !!!

I own many lion steel knives. I ordered this knife as I was not able to get this knife in 3v in the states. The knife itself is awesome!!!! I highly recommend it. My only complaint with this order was that it was a stock item that I paid for immediately but did not receive it for 4 months. Of all the places I have purchased knives online, this is the only one that took your money before they had any intentions of shipping it. I ended up purchasing another knife from here which happened to be in stock, and it was shipped very rapidly. My suggestion to knivesandtools is, maybe look at your policy of collecting money on a typical in stock product if you're not sure when you're shipping like all the other online knife stores.

The country of origin is the country the product is produced, as far as we know. This may differ from the country where the brand itself is located.

General information

We always measure the blade height at the highest part of the blade.

Blade height

We always measure the blade length ourselves. This is the length of the blade from the tip to the front of the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade length

value_blade_length_edge

The length of the cutting edge is measured from the tip to the start of the edge. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Cutting edge length

We always measure the blade thickness at the thickest part of the blade. Often just before the handle. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specification.

Blade thickness

value_handle_length

value_max_belt_width

We always weigh a product as bare as possible. Knives and axes always without their sheath, lights (if possible) without their battery. For knife sets we measure the entire weight. This may deviate from the manufacturer's specifications.

knife_best_use

We like to highlight what use the manufacturer had in mind, or what we believe the knife is suited for

Best use

This concerns the type of edge [Want to learn more about a serrated versus a plain edge](/en/ct/pocket-knives-difference-plain-edge-serrated.htm)?

Type of edge

molle_compatible

MOLLE is a mounting system that allows you to attach sheaths and other accessories to backpacks. With this specification we indicate whether a product is already MOLLE-compatible by default. [Want to learn more MOLLE](/en/ct/what-is-molle.htm)?

MOLLE-compatible

We measure the sharpening angle ourselves. This value is the angle per side.  So 20º means that the total angle of the edge is 40º. Please note that knives are almost always sharpened by hand, even in factories. This value is therefore only an indication of a single tool measured by us. You are always free to choose your own sharpening angle. [Learn more about sharpening angles](/en/ct/sharpening-angles-explained.htm).

Sharpening angle

In terms of grind we are talking about how the complete blade thickness extends into the edge. Want to learn more about grinds? [Read all about grinds on knives](/en/ct/knife-grinds.htm).
