Lionsteel M4 - Knife Rank Ep: 05
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In this series of videos we take a closer look at some of my personal collection of fixed blade and folding knives.
At the end of every episode, we rank the knife and give it an overall score out of 30 and graph the knife against the next so we can keep track of how the knives stack up against each other.
In this episode we look at one of the highest scoring knives to date, the beautifully hand crafted M4 by Lionsteel. This knife features m390 steel, walnut handle slabs and a stunning hand crafted leather sheath.
Check out the first four episodes of knife rank using the links down below.

great review
Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words. I’ve got another lionsteel I’m using at the moment, I’ll be doing a review on it shortly 👍🏼
This video pushed me over the edge. I just ordered one from DLT. I can't wait to try it out.
Is it even possible to sharpen m390 steel on a dc4 or is it just to hard
If you are trying to re profile an edge, you’d be there for days, it’s a really hard steel to profile, but I had a slight burr I worked on with my dc4 while I was camping and it did the job until I got home, it wasn’t perfect but it was ok.
@@freeroamsociety7301 thanks for your reply. So if I use the knife normally the dc4 is good an off the get the edge sharp again.
@@Bamiblok 100%c, you’ll find with this knife you’ll very rarely need to re profile an edge back on it, the steel is that good (as long as you’re not abusing the knife that is), a quick touch up here and there and you’re good to go.
Thx for the nice review! I have the M1, M4, B35, B40, B41,T5, M5, M7...all great knives...the M4 is one of my most caried as edc and best allrounder. Kind regards and stay healty, greetings from the Belgian Ardennes.
I am absolutely jealous of your lionsteel collection, the B35 or M5 is next on the list I think for me.
Glad you enjoyed the review mate, stay safe and take care.
Cheers from down under 🍻
I know im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!

I have heard this same thing from other Lionsteel fans. I just ordered the M4 and the M41 with Christmas money. I cant wait to try them out.
NICEEEEEE just ordered myself one today. I can't WAIT 🎉
I just bought a custom knife with m390 (7inch long). I heard that M390 tends to chip alot. Did you ever had chips on your m4? Thanks for help.
Man, where did you get that from? Sounds like a knife I’d love to add to my collection.
I haven’t had any issues with mine, but the added hardness of the steel does make it more susceptible to chipping. My advice, don’t be to abusive to it and you’ll be fine, it will do anything you put it to, but there’s a risk involved in it.
I just got one with M390 and black G10. I love this thing. Outstanding knife and gorgeous sheath. All at a great price 👍
Great review of a beautiful knife. I am considering purchasing one with wood scales.
Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words.
I can’t recommend this knife highly enough; the steel, the ergos, the fit and finish of the knife, it’s honestly in my top 3 knives every day of the week.
Just received mine today. Olive wood and Magnacut. It’s a super tough, super durable, work of art.
I have exactly the same spec 😎
I did not realize the came in magnacut too, wow!
I wish Lionsteel used m390 in the M5. Just not sold on sleipner and the M4 is shorter than I’d like.
It’s such a great steel, I’m still yet to put my m4 on a stone, I strop it and it’s good to go again.
I’m biding my time until I can no longer reaist the m5, I think the m4 is limited by it’s size, but I 100% agree with you, the steel is what’s holding me back at the moment.
Hope you enjoyed the review otherwise man, take care 🤙🏼
I really like the M5, but I’m with you on the Sliepner steel.
I also wish the blade was just a bit bigger, but It gets such great reviews I decided to pull the trigger and try one. We shall see.
I've got it with the green micarta. It's my daily carry and I sharpened it with the ts prof.
At 15° I went from 120-12,000 grit.
It is mirror edged and I have been using it for about 2 months now without resharpening.
It will still shave my beard!
It’s going to be hard to beat, I’ve touched mine up with a strop once and it’s back to razor sharp
@@freeroamsociety7301 I have been hand sharpening knives for about 30 years now and I have been quite happy with this knife's edge.
@@freeroamsociety7301 if there's something I can do to be neighborly, let me know.
@@shanerichardson9568 I’m currently eyeing off my next lionsteel, tossing up between the T5 and the G35, I know I’ll be happy if it’s half as good as the M4’s blade
@@freeroamsociety7301 I agree with you. I have quite a few knives and I have really enjoyed the m4.
It's the right size, shape and materials.
I also find the sheath to be convenient to use.
I keep all of my knives fearfully sharp but it seems to just hold up well on the M4.
Most knives have different uses and it's good to learn which but I believe I would have confidence in any Lionsteel knife made of M390.
The m4 was a little bit thick behind the edge for my liking but very comfortable to use sheath is all good rare in a knife these days definitely deserves to lead the race so far great review
Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it.
It’s going to be hard to beat I think.
I feel that way with just about every knife I get. Buy a Ken onion worksharp with the grinder attachment and put a convex edge on it. That will take care of the thickness.
Thank you for an excellent informative video. Subscribed!
No worries at all, thanks for the kind comment and sub, appreciate it 👌🏼
New sub on this video BTW.
Thank you for the review Sir!
Thanks for the kind words, really appreciate it 🍻
loved this review and subscribed.
Thank you mate, much appreciated 👍🏼
Thanks for your knife review. Lionsteel M4 is a great knife. Could you let us know where you bought it from please? $260 is a great price.
Thanks.
Saludos y éxito! Hace poco subí una reseña de mi m4 esta bastante bien ese cuchillo!
such a nice knife i'm lucky to have one
Great review thanks
The Best bushcraft knife is Mora,, I know Lionsteel is super nice 👍 but I can achieve same effect with my Mora Companion…Thick blade is not really good for fine carving and whittling plus the price is not consumer friendly..That’s just me,you can agree or disagree BTW I love knives and collecting them is highly addictive…Peace…
I’ve had a companion in my Amazon wish list for almost 12 months now, I’ve always been tempted to get one based off all the great reviews it has to try one out myself, but I’ve always been distracted by other shiny features of the knives I have. It will get the better of me one day and I’ll pick one up for sure.
Hope you enjoyed the video otherwise, cheers 🍻
@@freeroamsociety7301 Thank You I did enjoy the video, I hope you get Mora one day and I am sure you will enjoy it yourself as well..I do have far better knives but my hand always goes for Mora Companion MG Carbon it’s like a fetish love ❤️ 😂 😂 😂 You stay safe and healthy my friend…
@@ilijabosnjak76 I’ve just purchased a new one over the weekend to add to my collection, my wife doesn’t understand why I love collecting them and sometimes neither do I, but I’m glad there’s so many like us out there who enjoy them equally.
Stay safe mate, all the best 🍻
@@freeroamsociety7301 Too bad we are not close,we would be good friends... Cheers mate it's a nice and warm day in Canada 🇨🇦
@@ilijabosnjak76 you live in a beautiful part of the world, I traveled through BC in 2013, instantly fell in love with it.
We just got winter here, it’s nothing on what you guys have to contend with of course, but it’s a hunker down kind of day today.
All the best my friend 🤙🏼
