I love the lionsteel M7 as a general use knife but would love to see a larger version of that knife with a 9 or 9.5 inch blade
When is moletta going to make the M9 ?

It's on work.
" if lionsteel used steel sleipner also for the T5 would be welcome"
Yes, after doing my own extensive testing on Niolox I prefer Sleipner in a hard use fixed blade.
Could you elaborate on why?
From what I read Sleipner is tougher but Niolox should have superior edge retention so in a 5 inches blade I would prefer the 2nd. What did you experience that leads you to prefer sleipner also in a small blade?
...and what about the M6 ??It's on work.

I've been waiting for long time an (hopefully) stainless steel blade in this size from Lionsteel!
An M6 in M390 or Elmax would be epic!
I'm also waiting for a M6 (any good steel will do for me). I keep almost buying a M5 (4.5" blade) and then hesitate because I have a fair number in the 4- 4.5" size already. Basically I consider a 5 to 5.5" blade ideal as a general purpose woods blade. The bigger ones are great and I like them, but I know I won't carry one.An M6 in M390 or Elmax would be epic!
If you guys want a Lionsteel quality 6" blade designed for woods/survival, then you need to consider the DPx HEFT 6. Made by Lionsteel for DPx in Sleipner steel. Currently my favorite fixed blade.
