Design by Molletta
Molletta is the Italian pseudonym of Michele Pensato, a designer and knifemaker whose passion, he claims, “got out of hand”. Pensato, as an avid archaeological enthusiast, often complained about the tools he used during his trips. So he decided to create a knife that would meet his expectations. This is how the adventure that continues to this day began, and Molletta himself, closely associated with the LionSTEEL brand, is one of the most recognized Italian designers. Molletta is an avid lover of innovation and a supporter of an unconventional approach to design issues, eagerly reaching for modern technologies in her work.
About M1 knife
Premium steel
The knife is made of the highest quality M390 steel. M390 is one of the few steels available on the market in the absolute top quality of materials used in the production of premium knives. The M390 blade is extremely resistant to overload, stays sharp for a long time (wears very slowly) and has excellent anti-corrosion properties.
M1 is a full tang knife made of one piece of material, with scales attached to the steel running through the entire length and width of the handle. It is a very comfortable and durable tool thank to its construction and steel choice.
Drop point blade
The blade of the knife has a drop point profile with flat grind, very versatile in use, dedicated to any type of work. It has a vertical satin finish and gently rounded spine for better comfort in hard use.
Ergonomic G10 handle
The handle is made of contoured G10 for better comfort. The rounded spine of the blade is continued also on the handle. The handle has a hole for a rope or paracord and a titanium bead (included).
Titanium Bead TIP
M1 has a lanyard with a titanium bead, called by the manufacturer “titanium pearl” (TIP – small TItanium Pearl). The bead mounting system itself is very well thought out and allows you to mount it so that the paracord does not protrude at its end thanks to the screw.
Ending the handle with such a linyard allows for easier extraction of the knife from the leather sheath and securing the grip.
Classic leather sheath
Knife comes with a leather sheath. This is a classic solution that matches the style of the tools in it. Wood and leather have always been the perfect combination. Bright stitching gives it a very original look. The knife sheath has a high profile and hides part of the handle to better protect the knife from falling out. It is traditionally attached to the waist or a backpack in an upright position.
