Microtech Akris S/E Black G10, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione (95-10BK-3)

The Microtech Akris 95-10BK-3 combines a full-tang outdoor knife design with a more classic carrying style. The Drop Point blade, made of Böhler M390MK steel, features a stonewashed finish, while the black, milled G10 grips provide a durable, weather-resistant grip surface.

In this version, the knife comes with a Black Cherry leather sheath. The sheath is handcrafted in North Carolina, giving the Akris a more traditional character without sacrificing the modern materials of the knife itself.

M390MK – Modern Steel in a Compact Fixed Blade

Böhler M390MK offers high resistance to wear and corrosion, as well as long-lasting sharpness. It is a special variant of M390 developed for Microtech, well-suited for a knife designed for both precision cutting and regular field work.

Drop Point with a hollow grind

The Drop Point blade features a hollow grind, which provides efficient cutting geometry while retaining the appropriate amount of material at the top of the blade. The stonewashed finish gives the surface a subtle, technical look.

Black G10, Full Tang, and Leather Sheath

The milled black G10 grips are mounted on a full tang construction, in which the blade steel extends the entire length of the handle. The knife is complemented by a handcrafted Black Cherry leather sheath, which offers a more traditional alternative to Kydex.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?

Clean and dry the blade after use. M390MK is highly resistant to corrosion, but a thin layer of protective coating may be useful during prolonged storage or when working in a humid environment.

How to sharpen an Akris hollow edge?

When sharpening, work only on the cutting edge itself, maintaining its factory angle. Due to the high abrasion resistance of M390MK, it’s best to use appropriately effective whetstones or diamond plates.

What are the benefits of the full-tang construction?

The blade steel extends the entire length of the handle, allowing loads to be transferred through a single, continuous steel component. This design is well-suited for knives intended for intensive outdoor use.

How do you care for a leather sheath?

Leather should not be soaked for long periods or stored in a damp environment. If the sheath gets dirty, clean it according to leather care guidelines and allow it to dry naturally.

Should the knife be stored in a leather sheath for long periods?

For long-term storage, it is better to remove the knife from the sheath, especially if there is a risk of moisture buildup. The blade should be clean and dry before storage.
