The Microtech Hera II Mini 1705M-10APOD features a blade made of Böhler M390MK steel with an inward-curving edge, which increases the effective contact length of the blade with the material being cut. The olive-green aluminum handle and Apocalyptic finish give this compact Hera II Mini a more rugged, utility-oriented look.
The double-action OTF mechanism automatically extends and retracts the blade via a slider. The design utilizes the Dual Fuel Drivetrain system and a redesigned control area that helps reduce friction and facilitates the removal of small debris.
Böhler M390MK – Steel for Demanding Use
The blade is made of Böhler M390MK steel, a special grade of M390 developed for Microtech. Its high resistance to abrasion and corrosion, along with its long-lasting sharpness, complement the functional geometry of this variant well.
Curved edge, flat grind, and Apocalyptic
The inward-curving edge helps keep the material being cut closer to the center of the blade and increases the contact length during cutting. The flat grind ensures efficient cutting geometry, while the Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a distinctive, intentionally aged appearance.
Olive-green aluminum and a compact OTF mechanism
The handle is made of 6061-T6 aluminum in olive green. The closed body is an integral construction and does not require a separate backspacer.
The blade extends and retracts automatically when the slide is moved. The 6AL4V titanium clip can be mounted on the right or left side in a tip-down configuration. The back of the handle is also equipped with a glass breaker made of 6AL4V titanium.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?
It’s a good idea to clean the blade regularly and dry it thoroughly. M390MK is corrosion-resistant, but proper care helps preserve the condition of the surface and edge for longer.
How do you sharpen an inward-curving edge?
The most convenient tools are narrow whetstones, ceramic rods, or systems that allow you to guide the abrasive along the curve of the edge. Maintain the factory geometry and avoid straightening the curve while sharpening.
How does the double-action OTF mechanism work?
Sliding the slider forward automatically extends the blade, while sliding it backward automatically retracts it into the handle. There is no need to manually fold the blade.
How do you clean the olive-green aluminum handle?
It’s best to wipe the handle with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it thoroughly after cleaning. Harsh abrasives can alter the appearance of the finish.
How do I maintain the Hera II Mini mechanism?
It’s important to minimize the amount of sand, dust, and other fine debris getting inside the body. Regular cleaning and the use of products designed for OTF mechanisms help keep the slide mechanism running smoothly.
