KC-01 by LIONSTEEL: HOLY GRAIL for BUSHCRAFT at that price!?!? 

I bought it! Now the wait!

What a beautiful looking Fixed Blade. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

Now I have to get this one. I got the T6 in K490, but this is a must have!

Thank you very much for this detailed review of the KC-01. I´m a big fan of all bushcraft activities and have been looking for an outstanding knive for a long time now. Lionsteel is the best and most interesting brand I have found so far because I love the design and thought behind all their products, as well as the quallity they put into it. For quite some time now I couldn´t decide between the T5, T6 or M5 as they all have appealing characteristics, but the KC-01 combines it all for me. I´m very happy to have found your review, as it is the only one out there so far (I think) and it convinced me to finally buy the KC-01. Right now im waiting for the delivery and when I´ve had the opportunity to test it out a little I´ll come back here to share my experiences :)

i really wanted this knife

If you don't edit, we don't mind, but for goodness sake, don't repeat yourself

just subscribed brotha i just started trying to make knife videos myself

@isitaknife Just ordered mine. Sure hope it gets here (Miami) in time for my New Hampshire vacation! Thanks for the good video.

Beautiful knife! I don't know if I can get one of these here in the states though

Im a huge fan of Lionsteel's stuff. I almost never buy fixed blades from large makers. I can usually find equal or better quality, and materials, for less money from local makers. Lionsteel is an exception to that, though.

Ciao, ma il pomo finale fa di nuovo male come l'M7 ? Sembra un mix fraT6-M5, anche questo un po grosso . Se fosse solo x il prezzo lo avret già preso al volo . Diciamo che potrebbe costare tranquillamente 380/400 euro incredibile... Grazie per avercelo mostrato . PS. Bellissimi coltelli da collezzione complimenti....

I own the T6 in K490 steel, it's a great knife, but not a bushcrsft knife, more a survival knife and I think this is also true for the KC-01. The T5 is also a great knife and I have reprofiling the edge to a secondary convex edge, nearly a scandivex edge and the knife is great on bushcraft tasks, like for example my Bark River Aurora Scandi CruWear.

There are knives that can do the same thing, for far less, and still be flawlessly, razor sharp. For that price, that knife should be able to do simple batoning and cut paper flawlessly. I do the same thing with all my knives. My buck 119 can do that and still come out on top, and buck knives you can pretty much find anywhere. If a knife is too expensive, I wouldn't want it. I use all my knives but this just shows you don't have to spend a crazy amount of money for a good knife.

It is very large for being a pure bushcraft knife, unusual large. It looks good, but i really dont like finger choils. Much better to hold a handle than too hold a knife blade. Much better to make it so that the handle is close too the edge. Dont Lionsteel also make smaller blades for bushcraft, i think i remember atleast one that has the name bushcraft something on it. Batoning in my mind has nothing to do with bushcraft. It was never done or needed, I have practically grown up in the forest and have never needed it at all. It is just useless in most situations, you use much less calories by using a axe. Instead of hitting and hitting on a blade and getting it stuck all the time. People seems not even to have the sense too chose the right wood for it,not twisted and almost no knots. I understand that some do it for testing the tempering of a knife,but then they should atleast say so. So people dont think that it how you do it in the woods.

@IsitAKnife - Can you buy this knife in USA? What websites? Also, do you have any power of influence to the Lionsteel management to ask them to make a version of this without a choil?

All my life I have bought high end knives, but now I ask myself the following question: knowing that they will do the same job, how many Tramontina machetes can I have for the same price of a single KC-01 by LIONSTEEL costing €240.00?

I’m liking the design more and more. It’s moving towards what I hoping for with the T6. Round the pommel, sharpen the spine forward of handle and get rid of the extra hole in the handle. Stop with the “Limited BS” and make it the new and improved T6... FYI...The Architect 6.5 in 3V is a competitive option at a very competitive price...Just Say’n

Is the spine sharp?

Is this a limited run when is it available?

This is a T6 with a finger choil in the blade...

Minuto 2:11 dal non riuscire a produrre neanche una scintilla decente, con un cambio immagine per magia compare il fuoco! La magia delle telecamere😅 Comunque parla in italiano che ci fai più bella figura....🤣 Che tanto di followers non ne prendi di più 🤣👍🏼

.......

That's no where near a "bushcraft" knife design, that's a "Survival" knife design. "Survival" is exactly the opposite of "Bushcraft". Companies/Marketing sell you nonsense, just to buy and keep buing. Also that sizes of knives, do not benefit from a finger choil, actually that knife would be a 100% better design,if it didn't have the stupid finger choil. Collectors won't agree, users will.

I love my m5 and m7 but i hate these stupid choiles .

BUT YOU CANT BUY IT IN AMERICA 😳🤪
