Microtech Hera D/E Black Aluminium, Stonewashed by Tony Marfione

Hera Double Edge Black Aluminum, Stonewashed one of the best and versatile OTF (Out The Front) automatic knives. Modeled after the iconic Troodon automatic, it is an intermediate link between EDC and tactical models. The over-the-top automatic operates in D/A (Double Action) mode using an opening mechanism that works with great force and power. This model features an excellent fit and superb finish. Designed by Anthony Marfione knifemaker and owner of Microtech Knives.

Hera Series - OTF tactical automatic knives, which feature the perfect combination of utility and aesthetics. Knives with D/E and SE blades and handles made of anodized aircraft-grade aluminum. A unique feature of Hera automatic knives is a milled titanium pocket clip equipped with a smooth rollerball, thanks to which the knife easily slips into any pocket.

Blade - machine ground D/E (Double Edge Dagger) type, finished with a scratch-masking stonewashed finish. The blade is derived with a high flat grind (Flat Grind), providing excellent cutting qualities with a central grain. This gives the knife excellent piercing properties while maintaining its strength. The strong mechanism of extending/retracting the blade with the help of the mothballed Thumb Slide, a stepped thumb slide, requires for safety the application of a specific force to overcome the resistance of the spring. The method of opening provides seamless opening for both right and left-handed people.

Handle - made with excellent precision in 3D technology on CNC milling machines, from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum. The surface texture of the Handle makes the knife non-slip in the hand during use. There are notches (jimping) on the back and bottom of the handle for a more secure grip. Slim profile and milled from titanium, the single-position pocket clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-down position (blade tip down). Equipped with a smooth rollerball that allows the knife to slide easily into a pocket without damaging the pocket edges.
