The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV S/E Natural Clear Aluminum, Apocalyptic M390MK by Tony Marfione OTF automatic knife (11214-10APNC) is a Double Action OTF automatic knife featuring a single-beveled Drop Point blade made of Böhler M390MK steel and a contoured handle crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum. The Natural Clear finish highlights the metallic character of the body, while the Apocalyptic blade gives the design a utilitarian look.
The side slide allows for automatic deployment and retraction of the blade, and the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ mechanism ensures smooth operation in both directions. The Crud Kutter™ helps reduce debris buildup, and the adjustable titanium clip with a ceramic ball allows the knife to be carried tip-down on either the right or left side.
Böhler M390MK and Flat Grind
The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel, which offers high corrosion resistance, good edge retention, and properties suitable for a premium-class automatic knife. The Flat grind promotes effective cutting and controlled blade guidance.
Drop Point, Single Edge, and Apocalyptic
The Drop Point profile combines a gently sloping spine, a sturdy tip, and a functional cutting edge. The single, smooth Plain Edge is ideal for precise cutting, while the Apocalyptic finish helps minimize the appearance of minor wear marks.
Natural Clear Aluminum and Gen IV Mechanism
The contoured handle is made of 6061-T6 aluminum with a Natural Clear finish. The smooth body retains the ergonomic form of the Gen IV generation, and the Microtech Claw branding highlights the design’s signature character. The Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, Crud Kutter™, standard Torx screws, and an integrated glass breaker round out the model’s features.

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?
Sharpen the edge at a constant angle, guiding the tool along the curve of the blade. Near the tip, it’s best to reduce pressure to preserve its factory profile.
How does the Double Action OTF mechanism work?
Pushing the slide forward automatically extends the blade, while pulling it backward retracts the blade. The Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ powers the mechanism in both directions.
How do you clean the mechanism with the Crud Kutter™ system?
The mechanism should be protected from sand, lint, and excess lubricant. Crud Kutter™ helps reduce the buildup of debris, but the blade channel and the area around the slide still require regular cleaning.
How do I safely store an OTF knife?
Store the knife with the blade fully retracted, out of reach of unauthorized persons. Before putting it away, make sure the slide mechanism is functioning properly and that the blade channel is free of debris.
