Microtech Amphibian Ram-Lok S/E Marfione Select Blue Slab Side Titanium, Blue HW, Apocalyptic M390MK by Anthony Marfione (137RL-10APMS2) – Premium folding knife with Ram-Lok lock

The Microtech Amphibian Ram-Lok S/E Marfione Select Blue Slab Side Titanium, Blue HW, Apocalyptic M390MK by Anthony Marfione (137RL-10APMS2) is a premium-class manual folding knife that belongs to the exclusive Marfione Select line. The model combines the Amphibian’s characteristic, robust silhouette with a Blue Slab Side titanium handle, blue hardware, and a blade made of Böhler M390MK steel. The S/E Drop Point profile, the flat grind, and the Apocalyptic finish ensure effective cutting, high durability, and precise blade control. Manual opening via dual thumb buttons, ball-bearing guides, ambidextrous Ram-Lok locking, a titanium clip for right- and left-handed users, and the tip-up function underscore the technical, collectible, and practical character of this variant.

Böhler M390MK – Microtech powder steel for high-performance folding knives

Böhler M390MK is a high-performance powder steel developed for Microtech in collaboration with Böhler, with a focus on wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. In the Amphibian Ram-Lok model, this material proves its worth when cutting adhesive tape, cardboard, ropes, straps, plastics, and technical materials, where stable edge guidance and predictable cutting performance are required. The Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a slightly antique character and helps conceal minor signs of wear.

S/E Drop Point and flat grind – functional geometry with a strong tip

The S/E Drop Point profile combines a robust tip with a functional cutting edge and is therefore well-suited for tasks that require control, cutting, and precise incisions. The flat grind supports the blade’s smooth glide through the material and ensures an optimal balance between cutting performance and structural strength. The wide Amphibiana blade gives the knife a distinctive, tactical-functional character, while the strong jimping improves control during more forceful tasks.

Ram-Lok and Ball Bearings – Smooth Operation, Safety, and Ambidextrous Use

The opening mechanism is based on ball bearings that support smooth, responsive blade movement when using the Dual-Thumb-Studs on both sides. The Ram-Lok locking mechanism uses a crossbar that moves within the handle’s guides, stabilizing the blade after opening and allowing for comfortable unlocking with either the right or left hand. This solution fits well with the character of the Amphibian, as it combines reliable locking, intuitive operation, and resistance to dynamic stresses during intensive use.

Blue Slab Side Titanium – Titanium handle from the Marfione Select series

The handle made of titanium in the Blue Slab Side finish gives the knife a unique collector’s appeal while offering high rigidity and durability in daily use. The flat surfaces of the handle scales highlight the precise craftsmanship, while the blue hardware enhances the visual cohesion of the overall design. The titanium backspacer in Blue reinforces the construction, and the tip-up clip (right/left) made of the same material allows the knife to be carried comfortably in a pocket. The lanyard hole offers additional options for securing or personalizing the knife.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you maintain and sharpen the Böhler M390MK steel on the Amphibian Ram-Lok model?

The Böhler M390MK steel should be cleaned and dried after use, especially after contact with moisture, sweat, or residue from cut materials. A diamond sharpener or a high-quality ceramic system is best suited for sharpening, as powder-metallurgical steel with high wear resistance requires an effective abrasive and stable angle guidance.

How does the Ram-Lok locking mechanism work?

Ram-Lok uses a crossbar that engages over the rear of the blade when opened, stabilizing the blade in the working position. The lock is released by pulling back the bar, which is accessible from both sides of the handle, making it easy to operate with either the right or left hand.

What are the key features of the S/E Drop Point profile?

S/E Drop Point offers a strong tip, good control over blade guidance, and a versatile cutting edge. This geometry is suitable for cutting cardboard, adhesive tapes, ropes, plastics, and other technical materials.

What does the “Blue Slab Side” titanium handle offer?

The Blue Slab Side Titanium handle combines high rigidity, durability, and a collectible appearance. The flat surfaces of the titanium panels highlight the precision of the craftsmanship, and the blue finish sets the Marfione Select variant apart from the standard versions of the Amphibian.

Is the Microtech Amphibian Ram-Lok suitable for left-handed users?

Yes, the Ram-Lok locking mechanism, the double-sided Dual-Thumb-Stud, and the right/left tip-up clip make it easy to use for both right- and left-handed users. This is one of the practical advantages of this design.
