Lionsteel B41 First Impressions

[@alexandergutfeldt1144]

I own the B40. What I like about the B41 is the improved sheath and also the handle apears to be shaped so that more of the tang is exposed at the end. Since that area is used to strike the ferro rod larger is better! thanks for the review

[@jordy703]

For the people who dont want a round spine. The glasbreaker back is amazing sharp and can scrape a firesteel like crazy so dont worry just buy this amazing knife for the price.

[@alexanderbertallo1995]

Finally someone reviews this... Keep up the good work... Much love from Switzerland...

[@mrdarren1045]

The sleipner is a great steel. Holds a great edge... not the worst to sharpen (not the best either) and really tough with a degree of corrosion resistance. A much better steel than 1095, vg10, 14c28n, a2, 01 etc etc. I have had no issues with this steel at all and I think it was an inspired choice by lionsteel. Many other makers are now also using sleipner and its qualities seem to appealing more to custom makers.

Joel's not wrong , micarta is nicer than G10 .

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

no he's not

[@jacobbcox1985]

It all depends what you want and environment. I love G10 if I'm in a desert setting. Micarta is awesome if you have lots of water around you like creeks, lakes, and rivers or more rain. I like micarta also more on fixblades. G10 well is one of my favorites for pocket knives.

I like micarta if I don’t need to worry about bacteria

[@LandonWills]

Great stuff, keeping the love of knives in the family. Good job brother 👍

[@jordy703]

The old one had sometimes issues with the loose retention on the sheath. I think they’ll fixt it with the b41 and made it a lot tighter. Better i think because loosing a knive isn’t my favorite thing..

[@MrFomhor]

No: sleppner. Yes: sleigh-pner. 🥰

[@timbo4374]

Thanks for doing this review. I've been eying it up myself. I do wish it had a sharp spine for scraping, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I'm not as hard core about that as many others into the "bushcraft" scene. I'm still not sure if I'll buy one or not .It's a good looking knife, but I really don't need another bush knife. I have 10 "bushcraft" knives already, as well as a couple dozen other various fixed blades. However, like most other knife nuts, that never stopped me from buying "yet another damn knife" as my wife calls them, 😂

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

Yep always room for one more, or two or three or four

You can use the lanyard hole metal bit to scrape a fire steel

[@davemcbeardface8976]

I have the T5, m4 & m2 m4 is my absolute favourite knife. Your lad my like the m2 it’s an unusual shape, and small(ish) handle. I’ve not had any problem with the sheath other than there’s no option for a dangler sheath. Love the video & ive subbed

[@markw7303]

Sold someone on a m7 yesterday this is even cooler

[@SAN2CH]

I'm looking at this knife vs. the M4, which would you choose and why as an all around outdoor knife? Both look really appealing to me but unfortunately there's nowhere in my area where I can handle them in person. Thanks!

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

I will do a comparison video soon

[@roel.vinckens]

What a team! Nice vid, great looking knive. Can't wait to see the full review. Do you think the sharpeningchoil could scrape a fire steel? Would be nice to get the hardcore Bushcrafters off the fence...

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

possibly I will make sure to do some testing for the full review

[@kathywilson7846]

You guys made a great video!

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

Thanks

[@stevehill8153]

Retention is very tight and the strap will not snap closed. Waiting for a response from Lionsteel......

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

I had the same problem initially but it broke in fast make sure the knife is all the way into the sheath but mine was fine after about a week

[@darrenlamb5640]

Theyre all like that. You have to really stretch it... i mean really stretch it and eventually it just about closes. Once youve had closed once it seems to get a lot easier after that.

[@greekveteran2715]

Which one is thinner behind the edge, the M4 or the B41? Thanks in advance

[@markw7303]

Yeah which?

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

I don't have them both in hand right now but I think the m4 would be thinner although I could be wrong

[@darrenlamb5640]

The b41 is actually thinner behind the edge. The m4 is pretty thick. I have both and from what i can tell the b41 is thinner.

[@lostsailor2498]

Bushcraft crew aren't going to like the round spine.

[@EthanAdey]

Yeah

[@markw7303]

@@EthanAdey buts its so much sexyer.

[@timbo4374]

You know it! lol. I prefer a sharp spine myself, but I'm not anal about it like some are.

[@Kevinclearysharpstuff]

They can carry lighters

[@kerryrwac]

@@Kevinclearysharpstuff or use the exposed pommel to strike the fire steel ?

[@brandonwagner9329]

Looks like the Steel Will Druid 260.

[@mikemcduff427]

I can't believe you are letting a child handle that knife like he is doing. What would he do with a pistol? For God sake teach him how to safely handle a knife BEFORE he cuts your arm or finder off.
