Overview
The LionSteel TM1 is another sensational design from Molletta. Like the SR1 and TiSpine, it has LionSteel's Solid® single-piece handle. While the previous monoblock folders were frame locks, the TM1 utilizes a double spring lockback mechanism. One of the benefits of a lockback knife, and the TM1 in particular, is the ambidextrous design that enables ease of use for both right and left-handed users. As such, the TM1 is outfitted with a reversible pocket clip for tip-up carry. Closer inspection of the pocket clip will reveal a tungsten carbide glass breaker for use in emergency situations. Another first for LionSteel is the IKBS ball-bearing pivot, which adds to the refinement of this special folder by ensuring top-notch action and performance. The reverse tanto style blade has an ambidextrous thumb disc opener that complements the overall design quite well. The TM1 is certainly destined for greatness. Excellent condition.
