M390MK – Steel for the Demanding EDC
The blade is made of M390MK steel, a variant of M390 developed for Microtech in collaboration with Böhler. The material combines high wear resistance with very good corrosion resistance.
Clip Point, hollow grind, and Apocalyptic
The Clip Point profile provides a precise tip and versatile cutting geometry. The hollow grind promotes effective cutting, and the Apocalyptic finish gives the surface a distinctive, aged look.
Natural Clear Aluminum and 3M Traction Tape Inserts
The handle is made of aluminum with a natural, clear finish and features black 3M Traction Tape Inserts that enhance grip.
The pivot operates on ball bearings, and the Liner Lock locks the blade in place when opened. The knife is opened manually using thumb studs on both sides, and the steel clip can be moved to the right or left side in a tip-down configuration.
