M390MK - thanks to a collaboration between Microtech and Böhler engineers, an exclusive version of M390 steel made only for Microtech was created. The carbon content has been increased and subjected to closer scrutiny thus improving the properties of M390 steel to provide better edge retention, corrosion resistance and polishing. Martensitic high-performance chromium 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 19.0% (Cr) doped with 1.95% 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.
Ram-Lok™ (Crossbar Lock) - a transverse bar that moves horizontally within longitudinal cutouts in the steel liners of the handle’s frame. When the knife is opened, the locking bar engages the rear portion of the blade from above, preventing it from returning to the closed position. The bar is pressed forward by two springs. Unlocking occurs by pulling the bar backward; its ends are accessible through cutouts in the handle scales on both sides. In the closed position, the bar presses against the cam surface at the rear of the blade, preventing accidental opening. The advantages of the Ram-Lok mechanism include high resistance to dirt and debris, practical immunity to dynamic loads, easy operation with either hand, and smooth, lightweight action.
Blade - a machine ground S/E (Single Edge) Drop Point profile, sharpened on one side. It features a Stonewashed finish, which gives the surface a very smooth, elegantly matte appearance that resists glare and minor scratches. The knife opens via the model’s characteristic ambidextrous, knurled, teardrop-shaped dual thumb stud, making it easy to operate for both right- and left-handed users. Smooth operation of the opening mechanism is ensured by ball bearings. The blade is ground with a high Flat Grind, providing excellent edge geometry and outstanding cutting efficiency. To ensure full control over the blade, upper jimping—a textured thumb rest—has been added to the spine. The entire mechanism is securely locked in place with the convenient Ram-Lok system.
Handle – crafted with the utmost precision on CNC machines from G-10 composite, featuring a deeply milled, three-dimensional 3D Fluted texture. The wide lock slider with Microtech’s signature stepped texture (X Button) ensures a secure and comfortable operation. The handle scales are connected with a solid backspacer. The dual-position (right / left) clip allows for discreet tip-up carry. Above the clip is a lanyard hole for attaching a safety or decorative lanyard.
