LionSteel B35 Bushcraft Series

LionSteel B35 knives use Sleipner steel, a high-performance tool steel that offers a great balance of toughness and wear resistance. The blade is flat ground with a 3.5 inch length, making it efficient for slicing while remaining robust enough for woodcraft.

Yes, the LionSteel B35 features a protruding tang with crisp edges specifically designed for striking a ferro rod. This allows you to generate sparks for fire starting without using the sharpened edge of the blade, which also protects the handle scales from damage during use.

The B35 series includes several handle options such as Green Canvas Micarta, Black G10, and natural woods including Olive, Walnut, and Santos. The handles are contoured for comfort to reduce hot spots, though they maintain a relatively narrow profile for better control and easier carry.

The B35 is a more compact version of the popular B40, featuring a slightly smaller 3.5 inch blade compared to the 4 inch blade of the B40. This smaller size makes the B35 series more controllable for precision tasks and a lighter choice for hikers or those who prefer a fixed blade for daily carry.

Most models in the LionSteel B35 series are priced in the $130 to $150 range, depending on the chosen handle material. This price point typically includes both the Sleipner steel blade and a high-quality leather sheath for carry.
