Böhler M390MK – Steel for Precision Automatic Knives

The double-edged blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel. The material offers high corrosion resistance, good edge retention, and properties suited to the precision-engineered OTF design.

D/E Dagger, Flat Grind and Apocalyptic

The symmetrical Dagger profile features two smooth Plain edges and a centrally located tip. The Flat grind ensures uniform blade surface geometry, while the Apocalyptic finish gives the steel a factory-aged look and helps minimize the visibility of fine scratches and scuffs.

Blue Aluminum and wide money clip

The blue 6061-T6 aluminum handle provides rigidity and durability for everyday use. The wide tip-down money clip can be used to secure the knife in a pocket or hold folded bills in place. The model features a lanyard hole but does not include a glass breaker.

Technical data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?

After use, clean both edges of the blade and dry them thoroughly. Despite its high corrosion resistance, do not allow moisture, salt, or dirt to remain on the blade. Before long-term storage, you can apply a thin layer of preservative.

How do you sharpen a D/E double-edged blade?

Each edge should be sharpened separately, maintaining its original angle and symmetry relative to the blade’s axis. The guided sharpening system makes it easier to maintain uniform geometry on both sides.

How do you operate the double-action OTF mechanism?

Pushing the slide forward automatically extends the blade, while pulling it back retracts the blade into the Handle. The mechanism should be activated with a full, decisive motion of the slide.

How do you use the bill clip?

Folded bills can be placed between the wide clip and the Handle surface. Make sure they are held securely and do not obstruct access to the OTF mechanism’s slide.

How do you clean the inside of an OTF pistol?

The blade opening and the area around the slide should be regularly cleaned of dust, lint, and fine debris. A small amount of a suitable lubricant can be applied to the mechanism, taking care to avoid excess that attracts dust.
