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.
