After searching for more than a year I finaly found this NIB Lone Wolf T3 Harsey Combat with Micarta scales. Somehow I just could not find one anywhere. The Ranger version with Nylon scales is sometimes put up for sale, but the Micarta version is the one I wanted. Although Lone Wolf does'nt excist anymore and the T3 is hardly seen, I thought it would be nice to give this discontinued knife its own post.
A few things are remarkable. Even though this is an exeptional large knife, (4.8" blade) it still fits my hand just fine. Easy to move around. No problem to open and close with one hand. The blade runs on brass washers and pivot ring and has an pretty smooth action. Leaving out a blade choil in the design makes it comfortable to move up your hand toward the blade. The thumbstudd is placed at the right spot. Just behind the grinding, so when sharpening, it will not be in the way. No blade play in any direction. Solid lock-up thanks to the thick Titanium liner.

Nice details and finish make this discontinued T3 a true High Quality knife in my book.
This is the first and original design of what later on would be named the T3. This happend when the other two sizes where designed. The T2 and T1 completed the series. On this particular blade the 'T3' naming is not yet etched.
The durable (MOLLE) cordura pouch is strenghtened between the fabric layers with hard plastic material.
