A faithful companion that will never disappoint

Borka Blades (Sebastijan Berenji) is a very popular creator of custom knives with skills that attract a multitude of blade lovers. Sebastijan was born and raised in Yugoslavia and became a US citizen in 2016. The company is named after his late mother, Borka. A few years after he began his career as a knifemaker, he designed a unique folding knife and generated a lot of interest among collectors and enthusiasts. He not only attracted attention, but also attracted the interest of Microtech Knives CEO Anthony Marfione, who offered him a partnership.

M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - Blade - wide, S/E (Single Edge Spear Point) type, matte finished with Stonewashed sandblasting. The gently curved cutting edge converges toward a needle-sharp tip. The solid thickness of the blade combined with the concave grind (Hollow Grind) gives excellent cutting properties combined with high durability. The long false blade on the back increases the already not inconsiderable material piercing properties. The knife is opened with a button on the left side of the handle. To maintain full control of the blade in the lower part we have a large, serrated finger place (finger choil) and on the back of the blade was made upper jimping, notched thumb rest. The whole thing is locked with the well-known and proven Button Lock.

Handle - made on CNC milling machines with excellent precision, from anodized 6061-T6 aluminum with a deeply milled 3D structure. The knife's wide opening button has been recessed to prevent accidental opening. Both grips have been bolted together using a solid aluminum backspacer. A single-sided (right) clip allows the knife to be carried discreetly in tip-up position. The protruding part of the backspacer, in which there is a hole for a rope, can also serve as an improvised glass breaker.
