Microtech LUDT Gen III Ram-Lok T/E Frag OD Green Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione – manual Tanto folder

The Microtech LUDT Gen III Ram-Lok T/E Frag OD Green Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK folding knife by Tony Marfione (1136RL-10FROD) is a manual folder featuring a Tanto blade, ambidextrous thumb studs, and a RAM-LOK® lock. The model combines Böhler M390MK steel, an OD Green aluminum handle, a Frag milled pattern, and a stonewashed blade finish.

The ambidextrous lock and thumb studs allow for comfortable use of the knife with either the right or left hand. The milled Frag pattern increases the number of contact points between the hand and the Handle, enhancing grip and control during everyday use.

Böhler M390MK – Corrosion Resistance and Edge Durability

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel. This material offers high corrosion resistance, good edge stability, and properties suitable for regular use of a folding knife.

Tanto, Plain Edge, and Stonewashed

The Tanto profile features a strong tip and a clearly defined front section of the edge. The smooth Plain Edge blade allows for controlled cutting, while the Stonewashed finish minimizes the visibility of fine scratches, scuffs, and signs of wear.

RAM-LOK®, Frag Pattern, and OD Green Aluminum

The RAM-LOK® lock is operated transversely from both sides of the Handle and stabilizes the blade when open. The OD Green aluminum grips feature a milled Frag pattern that improves grip, control, and ergonomic handling. A ball-bearing pivot supports smooth opening via dual-sided pins.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?

The blade should be cleaned and thoroughly dried after use. For long-term storage, you can protect the surface with a thin layer of knife preservative.

How do I sharpen a Tanto profile?

Both sections of the edge should be sharpened separately, maintaining their original angle. Pay special attention to the corner between the sections so as not to round off the characteristic transition.

How does the RAM-LOK® lock work?

RAM-LOK® uses a transversely sliding locking element that stabilizes the blade when open. The mechanism can be operated from both sides of the handle, making it easy to use with either the right or left hand.

How do I care for the Frag aluminum handle?

Clean the milled surface with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Dust can accumulate in the recesses of the Frag pattern, so be sure to dry the handle thoroughly after cleaning.

How to maintain the ball-bearing axle?

Protect the area around the axle from sand and small particles of dirt. After cleaning, you can apply a small amount of light lubricant, avoiding excess, which could attract dust.
