Microtech LUDT Gen III T/E Signature Jade Green G10, Black M390MK by Tony Marfione – automatic Tanto knife

The Microtech LUDT Gen III T/E Signature Jade Green G10, Black M390MK automatic knife by Tony Marfione (1136-1GT-JGS-X4) is a side-opening automatic knife with a Tanto blade, a Jade Green G10 handle, and a black blade finish. The model combines Böhler M390MK steel, a Button Lock mechanism, an automatic opening button, and a ball-bearing pivot.

The 88.90 mm blade provides a handy size for everyday use, and the Tanto profile features a distinctly defined front edge and a strong tip. The titanium clip allows for right-side carry in a tip-up position.

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 suitable for a precision side-lock mechanism.

Tanto, Plain Edge, and Black Finish

The Tanto profile features a strong tip and a distinct transition between the main and front sections of the edge. The smooth Plain Edge blade facilitates controlled cutting, while the black finish gives the blade a cohesive, technical look.

Jade Green G10, Button Lock, and Ball bearing

The handle is made of translucent Jade Green G10, which highlights the material’s layered structure and provides good moisture resistance. The Button Lock mechanism holds the blade open, and the button automatically releases the blade. The ball-bearing pivot ensures smooth operation of the mechanism.

Technical Data

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 allow moisture, salt, or corrosive substances to remain on it. Before long-term storage, you may apply a thin layer of preservative.

How do you sharpen a Tanto blade?

The main and front sections of the edge should be sharpened separately, maintaining a distinct transition between them. This helps preserve the characteristic geometry of the Tanto profile and prevents the corner from becoming rounded.

How does the Button Lock mechanism work?

Pressing the button releases the blade and triggers the automatic side-opening mechanism. Once deployed, the button works in conjunction with the lock to stabilize the blade in the open position.

How do you care for the Jade Green G10?

The handle can be cleaned with water, a mild detergent, and a soft brush. After washing, thoroughly dry the G10 surface, the areas around the screws, the pivot, and the automatic opening button.

How to clean the ball-bearing pivot?

Keep the area around the pivot clean and protect it from sand and dust. For maintenance, use a small amount of lubricant designed for knife mechanisms, avoiding excessive lubrication.
