362,86 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Hera II Mini Bayonet Zombie Aluminum, Stonewashed compact version of one of the best and versatile OTF (Out The Front) automatic knives equipped with a Bayonet blade . Modeled on the iconic Troodon automatic , it is a link between EDC models and typically tactical designs . The automaton, with above-average durability, operates in D/A (Double Action) mode, providing instant, strong and secure opening and closing of the blade. The model is distinguished by the excellent fit of the parts and the highest quality finish. Design by Anthony Marfione, renowned knifemaker and owner of Microtech Knives.
Hera Mini Series - tactical automatic knives OTF, combining utility and aesthetics in perfect proportions. Models are available with D/E, S/E and Bayonet blades , and their handles are made of anodized aircraft aluminum. A unique feature of the Hera series is the precision-milled titanium pocket clip, equipped with a smooth rollerball, which allows the knife to slide extremely easily and smoothly into any pocket.
M390MK - a collaboration between Microtech and Böhler engineers resulted in an exclusive version of M390 steel made only for Microtech. The carbon content has been increased and subjected to closer scrutiny thus improving the properties of M390 steel for 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.
Blade - machine-ground, with Bayonet profile. Finished using the Stonewashed method, which gives the blade a slightly aged, satin-matte look and effectively masks minor scratches and marks from use. The blade is derived with a high flat gr ind (Flat Grind) with a central grain, which provides excellent cutting properties while maintaining high strength. This design also significantly improves piercing ability. The powerful mechanism for extending and retracting the blade is operated by a mothballed Thumb Slide - a stepped slide under the thumb, which for safe use requires the application of a pronounced force to overcome the resistance of the spring. This mechanism allows both right- and left-handed people to open the blade with confidence and comfort.
Handle - made with the utmost precision in 3D technology on CNC milling machines from Zombie pattern anodized 6061-T6 aluminum. The stepped surface texture provides a secure grip and prevents the knife from slipping in the hand during use. There are notches(jimping) on the back and bottom of the Handle for even better control. Handle's slim profile and titanium milled, two-position (right/left) pocket clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-down position (blade tip down). The clip is equipped with a smooth rollerball, which allows the knife to slide into the pocket lightly and smoothly, without damaging the edges of the pocket.
