SHOP CASE KNIVESThe LionSteel M2M Santos Wood Fixed Blade is a precision-crafted tool made for serious outdoorsmen who demand performance, reliability, and refinement. Made in Maniago, Italy, the M2M is the next evolution of LionSteel’s highly respected M2 model—enhanced with improved ergonomics, a longer handle, and thoughtful updates that cater to real-world use in the field. At the heart of this knife is a 3.54-inch drop point blade forged from Bohler M390 sintered stainless steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness, M390 is one of the top-performing blade steels available. The satin finish adds a clean, professional touch while maintaining the low-reflection characteristics appreciated in outdoor environments. Built to excel in harsh conditions, the M2M’s handle is shaped from Santos wood and 3D milled for an ergonomic grip that feels natural in the hand. The extended tang design includes a sharp corner edge that can be safely used with a ferro rod to strike sparks for fire-starting—without ever needing to expose the blade itself. This allows for safer fire prep in cold, wet, or low-visibility conditions when control matters most.
LionSteel includes a robust leather sheath with double-stitched seams and removable leather straps. This sheath system supports both vertical and horizontal carry, and is M.O.L.L.E. compatible, offering flexible mounting options for packs, belts, or tactical rigs. Whether you’re on a mountain trail, deep in the woods, or at camp, this setup ensures the M2M stays secure and accessible. Weighing just under 5 ounces and measuring 7.99 inches in total length, the M2M strikes a perfect balance between compact size and full usability. It’s light enough to carry all day, yet tough enough to handle tasks ranging from carving and slicing to firecraft and food prep. Built with the needs of modern outdoorsmen in mind, the LionSteel M2M pairs timeless materials with contemporary design in a reliable, Italian-made fixed blade you’ll reach for again and again.
