Böhler M390MK – Microtech’s powder-coated steel for demanding tasks

Böhler M390MK is a high-performance powder steel used by Microtech, designed for high resistance to wear, corrosion, and long-lasting cutting edge retention. In the Socom Delta Ram-Lok model, it performs well when cutting cardboard, straps, cords, plastics, and technical materials, where blade stability and predictable edge performance are crucial. The Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a slightly weathered look and helps mask minor signs of regular use.

Spear Point and hollow grind – precision at the tip and aggressive cutting

The Spear Point profile provides a symmetrically shaped tip that facilitates precise blade guidance, scoring, and tasks requiring greater accuracy. The hollow grind increases the aggressiveness of the edge’s entry into the material, improving effectiveness when cutting tape, cardboard, plastic film, and fibrous materials. This geometry is well-suited to the purpose of a tactical folder, as it combines control of the blade tip with a smooth, decisive cut.

Tan Aluminum and Ram-Lok – a secure grip and two-handed operation

The Handle, made of 6061-T6 aluminum, was designed with an emphasis on durability, ergonomics, and control during heavy-duty work. The multi-faceted geometry, pronounced finger grooves, and milled spine support a stable hand position, even when wearing gloves. Ram-Lok functions as a lock with a crossbar accessible from both sides of the Handle, making the knife comfortable for both right- and left-handed users. The reversible right/left tip-up clip allows you to adjust the carrying style to your preference.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for and sharpen the Böhler M390MK steel in the Socom Delta Ram-Lok model?

Böhler M390MK steel should be cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with moisture, sweat, or debris from cut materials. For sharpening, a diamond sharpener or a high-quality ceramic system works best, as powder steel with high wear resistance requires an effective abrasive and a stable angle.

How does the Ram-Lok lock work?

Ram-Lok uses a crossbar that moves within the Handle guides. When opened, the bar locks the rear part of the blade, preventing it from folding. To unlock the knife, pull the bar backward; it is accessible from both sides of the handle, making it easy to operate with either the right or left hand.

What makes the Spear Point profile stand out?

Spear Point provides a symmetrically tapered, precise tip and balanced blade geometry. This profile works well for scoring, precision work, and controlled cutting of technical materials.

How does the Socom Delta Ram-Lok differ from the classic Socom Elite Manual?

The Socom Delta Ram-Lok uses a Ram-Lok lock operated from both sides of the Handle, while classic Socom Elite Manual models typically use a Liner Lock. The Ram-Lok version also offers a left/right clip configuration and a tip-up design, which increases comfort for both right- and left-handed users.

Does the Microtech Socom Delta Ram-Lok have a glass breaker?

Yes, the model has an integrated glass breaker. This is a structural element of the knife that expands its functionality in emergency situations, but it is not listed as a separate accessory in the technical data.
