Microtech Amphibian Ram-Lok S/E Knife OD Green Fluted G10, Apocalyptic M390MK by Tony Marfione (137RL-10APFLGTOD)

Microtech Amphibian Ram-Lok S/E OD Green Fluted G10, Apocalyptic M390MK by Tony Marfione – full-size folding knife with a fluted handle

The Microtech Amphibian Ram-Lok S/E OD Green Fluted G10, Apocalyptic M390MK folding knife by Tony Marfione (137RL-10APFLGTOD) is a full-size folding knife featuring a Drop Point/Recurve blade made of Böhler M390MK steel, a green G10 handle, and a RAM-LOK® lock. The distinctive Fluted milling pattern improves grip control, while the Apocalyptic finish gives the blade and titanium structural components a rugged, utilitarian look.

Thumb studs on both sides allow for manual opening from the right or left, while ball bearings ensure smooth blade operation. The design is complemented by a titanium backspacer and a reversible titanium tip-up clip, both finished in the Apocalyptic style.

Böhler M390MK and Hollow Grind

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel, which ensures high corrosion resistance and good edge retention. The Hollow grind creates a hollow surface geometry that supports effective cutting while maintaining the robust character of a full-size Amphibian.

Drop Point/Recurve and Apocalyptic finish

The Drop Point/Recurve profile combines a strong tip with a curved Plain Edge. The Recurve design helps keep the material being cut in contact with the blade and increases the effective length of the cutting zone. The Apocalyptic finish gives the blade an irregular, matte appearance that matches Microtech’s utilitarian aesthetic.

OD Green Fluted G10 and Titanium Components

The handle is made of OD Green G10 and finished with a Fluted milling pattern. The longitudinal texture increases grip, aids control, and improves ergonomics without making the surface overly aggressive. A titanium backspacer and clip complement the design, creating a stylistically cohesive whole.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?

After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. For long-term storage, apply a thin layer of a knife-specific preservative.

How do I sharpen a Drop Point/Recurve blade?

The curved part of the Recurve blade is best sharpened with a narrow whetstone or a rod-based sharpening system that can freely follow the edge line. Maintain a consistent angle and do not apply excessive pressure near the tip.

How does RAM-LOK® work?

RAM-LOK® locks the blade in place using a crossbar that slides within the handle. The design allows for convenient release of the lock from either side of the knife.

How do you clean the OD Green Fluted G10 handle?

The fluted grooves can be cleaned with a soft brush, and the entire handle can be wiped down with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent. After cleaning, be sure to thoroughly dry the surface and the area around the mechanism.

How do you maintain the pivot?

The area around the pivot should be regularly cleaned of dust and debris. After cleaning, you can apply a small amount of light lubricant to ensure the blade operates smoothly on its bearings.
