The Microtech Always Survive 96-10BK is a fixed-blade knife designed by Borka Blades and Tony Marfione as a compact outdoor tool with a distinctly utilitarian character. The Drop Point blade made of Böhler M390MK steel, black milled G10 grips, and a full-tang construction provide a solid foundation for regular outdoor use.
The model comes with a black Kydex sheath and an UltiClip attachment. This combination allows you to safely protect the blade and comfortably carry the knife on your gear, while maintaining a relatively compact size for a fixed-blade knife with a blade length of 113.03 mm.
Böhler M390MK – steel developed for Microtech
The blade is made of Böhler M390MK steel, a special grade of M390 developed for Microtech in collaboration with Böhler. The material is characterized by high resistance to corrosion and abrasion, as well as excellent edge retention, which makes it well-suited for a knife intended for regular outdoor and utility work.
Drop Point, hollow grind, and stonewashed finish
The Drop Point profile provides a functional tip and a clearly defined edge spine, making it well-suited for cutting, material processing, and more precise tasks. The hollow grind facilitates smooth gliding of the blade through material, while the stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued, practical look.
Black milled G10 and full-tang construction
The handle consists of black, milled G10 grips that are moisture-resistant and easy to maintain. The Full Tang construction means that the steel tang runs the entire length of the handle, providing solid support and rigidity during use.
The set is complemented by a black Kydex sheath and an UltiClip attachment. This combination suits the Always Survive’s utilitarian nature well and allows you to safely carry the knife along with the rest of your gear.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?
After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. M390MK has high corrosion resistance, but regular care helps keep both the surface and the cutting edge in good condition.
How do you sharpen the Microtech Always Survive?
It’s best to maintain the factory edge geometry and guide the abrasive material along its natural contour. High-performance abrasives, especially diamond ones, work well with M390MK.
What is the Drop Point profile best suited for?
The Drop Point offers a good balance between tip control and usable edge length, making it suitable for a wide range of field and utility tasks.
How do you clean milled G10 grips?
You can clean the handle with a soft brush, water, and mild detergent. Pay special attention to the milled recesses, where fine dirt can accumulate.
How to care for a Kydex sheath?
It’s a good idea to periodically rinse the inside of the sheath to remove sand and other hard debris, then dry it thoroughly. Before inserting the knife, the blade should be clean and dry.
