Legion Premiere Look at the Lionsteel KC-01 bushcraft knife in CPM-3V steel

Legion Premiere Look at the Lionsteel KC-01 bushcraft knife in CPM-3V steel www.lionsteel.it/en/product/2079_var1/kc-01-kc-01_… Knife Community Itay was born in 2020 from the idea of a few friends to want to create a new community for knife enthusiasts. The aim was to transform a pre-existing group of Buy/Sell in a larger place, to be used to share experiences, from the craftsman to the end user, learning and sharing as much as possible about the wonderful world of cutlery. The KC-01 project finds its first expression in the friendship of Michele Pensato, better known as "Molletta", an active designer with long experience, and Raffaele Santoro, a cutlery enthusiast and one of the founders of Knife Community Italy. Both are interested in the idea of creating a new multi-role knife, which can assist the user in his many outdoor activities and decide to involve the entire Knife Community Italy group. The project is shared with the other founders and with all users who decide, with the formula of the survey, the length of the blade, the steel to be used and the final design that the knife should have, with the desire to entrust the realization of the knife to an Italian company that is an established leader in the sector: lionSTEEL, meeting the kind availability of its owner and CEO, Gianni Pauletta. The KC-01 project finally sees the light today in a limited series of only 300 pieces, according to the will of Knife Community Italy, thanks to the expert hands of Michele Pensato "Molletta" and the cutting-edge technology of lionSTEEL.

They need to do the T5 in Magnacut and give it a kydex sheath.

Feel the love for Lionsteel brother. Got an M2M, M4 and T5. Might have to step it up to this sweet beast!

The knife designer is Michele Pensato, his nickname is "Molletta". Very nice from Lionsteel and Mic to create a community knife in cooperation with the lionsteel knife fan community. For me this knife is a perfect match between the Lionsteel M7 and the T6 (in 3V and full tang and a nice droppoint blade). I like the handle a lot, because it makes it very functional with this long grip and this smooth metal guard.

Can't wait for you to test it out at the park sir. Especially the point test.

I have #151 with the green micarta handle which matches my only other Lionsteel made knife, the KnivesAndTools exclusive version of the MKM Normar (same steel and handle material). I would like to see a side by side comparison with the M7, T6 and M5 if you have them. I'm strongly considering an M5 in the near future.

Nice blade, wish it would go into full production and maybe have a choice of steels to choose from.✌️🔥

Great video, just ordered mine, looks amazing and will be a fine addition to my growing collection!

I've had mine for a week now and still not really used it, it's just too beautiful! And I'm not one for aesthetics usually. Cost me £220 GBP delivered which is insane value I reckon.

A few days ago I asked someone in the Italian knife community, who personally has contact to the designer (Molletta) and the owner of Lionsteel. The number is 300 total over all handle colours.

Super clean design. Waiting for the review. Cheers!

Looks like the sheath also supports scout carry. Perfect scout knife.

I have the T6 in K490 steel and it is a beast! I've only seen this new KC in video and pics and I'm starting to like it as well.

Nice looking blade, thats good steel too.

Lionsteel is a very good and quality blade but it’s really expensive in Asia countries .

Additional comment. For the ferrorod you have a perfect 90° cut on the end of the tang/hand of the handle.

Got mine on the pre-order period. It's a great knife but not a fan of the finger choil. If you like this one, may I suggest you have a look at the Saturn Knives Titano it's really fantastic, made by Lionsteel too and also designed by Mich Molleta. If you like Lionsteel I would also highly recommend the M1 as a daily EDC.

So it’s a limited edition knife. Won’t blame you for keeping it pristine.😅

Good stuff

Benchmade Freek (original model), Victorinox Craftsman (91mm 6 layer), Gerber MP450 multitool. No Opinel 8 Carbone today. But of course I'm in my room of knives, machetes, hatchets, axes, tomahawks and saws, so it doesn't really matter. Yeah, that's a high sabre with a flat grind and a V edge. That is one beautiful knife. I would use it as a "one knife" for minimalist light scout hiking/camping. The finger choil lets you do fine work, but it looks like it can do some chopping and definitely batoned splitting. It's the right length, weight and thickness for multipurpose duty. The 3V makes it very tough and also good edge holding. The DBK boys have done lots of testing of 3V for hard use. Not JoeX style hard use, just regular hard use. I would probably convex the last 3/16 inch and make sure it finishes around 17 degrees to give it better wood carving and multipurpose cutting.
