I researched for a 1st fixed knife for 2 weeks, have 16 folders. Bought the T5 this morning. I’m a city guy, will find uses in the garage or outside, lol…had to have it‼️
The snap with the strap through the two nylon loops you don't know what they are for....are to attach it to a molle system if desired. It's kind of a nice extra feature.
I just bought this Blade , you don't really appreciate that handle until you hold it , it's Frickin Awesome , I have XL Hands and sometimes have problems with handles being too small but this handle fits Great . Also , that weird stuff on the back of the Sheath is Molle and it's to attach the Sheath to the outside of a Vest or Backpack , that particular Molle looks like it would be really hard to weave it through , hope this helps ....👍🖖
Niolox has nthing to do with D2, it's a stainless steel not a tool steel that D2 is. Also it will hold it's edge probably a bit longer, as also won't be as fragile as D2 is especially on the edge. It will take a finer edge too, with way smaller carbides than D2, means will cut smoother than D2. I guess you heard it somewhere, it's not your fault, however, the misinformation on RUclips when it comes to fixed blades, is a big cancer. Some great examples: RUclips marketing, has turned people to believe, that it's the steel that counts the most on a knife, when it's the opposite, it's the heat treatment, then the geometry and design of the blade and bevels and lastly the steel itself. I would say, that even handle and sheath are more important than steel. Another example, you ask someone if he likes his new knife, just because you also want to get the same one, and he replies "Yeah ,man, it can baton!!!" That knife batoning nonsense, which has also become a No1 use of a knife, after RUclips brainwashiing people, is another cancer that RUclips is responsible for. And that's only 2, it's way worse than that....Folding knives RUclips world, is another thing, not such bullshit there.
Well thanks for clearing that up. I’ve spoken MANY times about not caring about the steel and that the average person wouldn’t be able to tell if it wasn’t stamped on the blade so I’m truly not trying to sway anyone any which way because…..I don’t care. Yes there is a lot of bad info on the internet in general so I always hope people will watch several videos from different people on a knife before they make a purchase. I just try to pass on some info. Never trying to sway anyone in any direction.
@@DirkWerning I absolutely can vouch for that, you have always said that and respect that my friend.

Great vid my friend, I also appreciate your honesty about fixed blades and that you are getting to like them. 😁👍⚔️
I wish carrying a fixed blade was a normal thing in my area. I never see anybody carrying one in my neighborhood or at my job. I picked up a Fallkniven Embla and I never carry it, I only carry it at home sometimes. Let me know if you want to check it out, I think it's the pefect size for edc.
Dude, you know deep down, you LOVE fixed blades! I could care less about folders, Fixed Blades are Life and the ONLY knives that matter! Fixed Blade Lives Matter!
I always justify my unused fixed blades by saying they are art pieces. I could have a fancy vases/paintings or fancy knives. The T5 is as much a functional tool as a work of art.
It’s from the TV show NCIS. Gibbs Rule # 9: Never go anywhere without a knife. This rule was first mentioned in “One Shot, One Kill” (Episode 13, Season 1).
Nothing better than a fixed blade, always reliable if needed! Plus have a Benchmade in your pocket!

Awesome congrats.
I’m a city guy too. Having these knives makes me drive out more and enjoy the outdoors

Nice. Thanks.

Perfect thanks.
Snap clip on the back of the sheath is for molle attachment. It is however very tight.
Ahh that makes sense.
That's a fine fixed blade I've been meaning to get! Thanks for the detailed look! 👍🗡️👊
My pleasure sir.
It's a good looking knife. I could see it being great outdoors. Great video 👍

Cool thanks. Would love to check it out 👍🏻👍🏻
I have this model with black micarta and coated blade. I just like to pretend I was Crocodile Dundee “That’s not a knooeefe, this is a knooeefe!” 🤣🤣
Hahaha

Haha
I appreciate them but not something I can really carry or have the use to carry 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
That’s “A Field Knife”, Dirk. It’s a great defensive knife.
Thanks
No doubt about it, lion steel makes some fantastic fixed blade knives. I just wish they were practical for me
Agreed
Are you a fixie guy? Do you carry a Lionsteel T5??
I’m not really a fixie guy. Rarely carry one.
You can tell you dont know fixed blades. The Straps on the back are for Molle Webbing on backpacks and Chest rigs
Welcome to the Jedi order where fixxies are king. 😝
Haha. I’m not there just yet but….
@@DirkWerning oh, just you wait. Next thing I’ll know you’ll be buying 3-400 year old katanas
@@williamkerry2626 well I have ALWAYS wanted a pair of Samurai swords so…..
Nice looking fixed blade 👌
For sure

The T5 is as much a functional tool as a work of art.
Totally agree.
What is the ninth rule?
It’s from the TV show NCIS. Gibbs Rule # 9: Never go anywhere without a knife. This rule was first mentioned in “One Shot, One Kill” (Episode 13, Season 1).
@@DirkWerning Oh, alright.
Get out more you’ll enjoy it
Ha yep.
Maybe a guy should have reviewed this knife.
Hmm perhaps
What does that mean?
no,your becomming a folder and fixy guy
don't like that finger guard
Why not??
@@DirkWerning Looks very thin, weak, snaggy after hard work. Looks like a hot spot. and gets in the way generally
@@blacklisted4885 hmm okay hasn’t thought of it that way.
@@DirkWerning The Helle Temagami has similar problem except granted it's in wood. The guard snaps off after a while
@@blacklisted4885 wow
