The Microtech UTX-70 Gen IV S/E Orange Aluminum, Apocalyptic M390MK by Tony Marfione OTF automatic knife (11484-10APOR) is a compact double-action OTF automatic knife featuring a Drop Point blade, an orange 6061-T6 aluminum handle, and an Apocalyptic finish. The model combines Böhler M390MK steel, the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ mechanism, the Crud Kutter™ system, and a reversible titanium clip.
The 63.50 mm blade automatically extends and retracts when the thumb slide is moved. Its compact size, weight of 39.69 g, and the Handle’s vibrant color make it easy to carry daily and find the knife in a pocket, bag, or among other gear.
Böhler M390MK – Steel Developed for Microtech
The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel, developed specifically for Microtech knives. The material offers high corrosion resistance, good edge retention, and properties well-suited to the compact design of a switchblade.
Drop Point, flat grind, and Apocalyptic finish
The Drop Point profile offers a precise tip and a gently contoured spine, useful for everyday cutting tasks. The smooth Plain Edge and flat grind promote controlled blade guidance, while the Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a factory-aged appearance and minimizes the visibility of minor wear marks.
Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, Crud Kutter™, and Orange Aluminum
The Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ mechanism automatically extends and retracts the blade with a single slider. The Crud Kutter™ system helps remove small debris from the blade, and the orange 6061-T6 aluminum housing provides rigidity while maintaining a very low weight. The knife also features a glass breaker and a lanyard hole.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?
After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Despite its high corrosion resistance, do not leave moisture, salt, or corrosive substances on it. Before long-term storage, you can apply a thin layer of preservative.
How do you sharpen a Drop Point blade?
Guide the blade evenly while maintaining a consistent angle along the entire length of the edge. Near the tip, it’s best to reduce pressure and follow the curve to preserve the blade’s original profile.
How does the double-action OTF mechanism work?
Pushing the slide forward automatically extends the blade, while pulling it back retracts the blade into the handle. Each movement should be performed firmly all the way to the end of the slide.
Does the Crud Kutter™ eliminate the need for cleaning?
No. The system helps remove fine debris, but the mechanism still requires regular maintenance. Pay special attention to the blade opening, the guide rails, and the area around the slide.
How do I move the clip to the other side?
The titanium clip can be mounted on the right or left side of the handle in the tip-down position. To change the position, use the appropriate tool and be careful not to damage the screws or the surface of the housing.
