Microtech Exocet II D/E OTF Knife Black Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione (1157-10)

Microtech Exocet II D/E Black Aluminum OTF Folding Knife, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione (1157-10)

The Microtech Exocet II 1157-10 is a compact Double Action OTF featuring a double-edged dagger blade made of Böhler M390MK steel. The black aluminum handle and stonewashed finish create a subdued, functional version of the Exocet, while retaining the characteristic wide money clip.

The blade is 60.33 mm long, 2.24 mm thick, and has a flat grind. The symmetrical Double Edge Dagger geometry provides two cutting edges and a centrally guided tip, while the Double Action mechanism allows the blade to be deployed and retracted using the same slide.

Böhler M390MK – Steel for Two Cutting Edges

Böhler M390MK is characterized by high wear resistance and very good corrosion resistance. This is particularly important in a Double Edge blade, as both edges benefit from the material’s high durability and can maintain a good working sharpness for a long time.

Double Edge Dagger and stonewashed finish

The Double Edge Dagger features a symmetrical geometry with two full cutting edges converging at a central tip. The flat grind supports efficient cutting, while the stonewashed finish helps minimize the visibility of fine scratches and marks that occur during everyday use.

Black Aluminum and Integrated Exocet II Body

The handle is made of black 6061-T6 aluminum. Its design also incorporates the rear section, which serves as a backspacer, so it is not a separate component. The wide tip-down clip functions both as a standard clip and a money clip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Böhler M390MK stand out?

M390MK offers high resistance to wear and corrosion, which works well with a double-edged blade. As a result, both edges can maintain a sharp cutting edge for a long time.

How do you sharpen a Double Edge Dagger?

It’s best to sharpen each edge separately using diamond abrasives or a guided sharpening system. It’s important to maintain identical angles on both sides to preserve the blade’s symmetry.

How does a Double Action OTF work?

The slide is responsible for both automatically extending and retracting the blade. This allows the entire operation to be performed with one hand.

What are the benefits of a stonewashed finish?

The stonewashed finish effectively masks minor signs of wear and reduces the visibility of scratches. It’s practical for a knife intended for frequent carry.

What is the wide Exocet II clip used for?

The clip secures the knife in a tip-down position, but it can also hold banknotes. This is a feature that distinguishes the Exocet II from most classic OTF knives.
