The Microtech Feather Signature 215-3DBKS is a compact fixed-blade knife designed by Bastinelli Knives, crafted from a single piece of M390 steel. The distinctive Hawkbill blade, full serration, and Distressed Black finish create a tool with a distinctly technical character, designed for tasks requiring aggressive yet controlled cutting.
Its small size and weight of just 62.37 g make the Feather well-suited for discreet carry as a compact fixed-blade knife. The one-piece steel construction eliminates the classic division between the blade and separate handle grips, and the included Kydex sheath with a belt clip facilitates safe carrying and quick access to the knife.
M390 – High-Corrosion-Resistant Steel
The entire construction is made of M390 steel, valued for its high corrosion resistance, excellent edge retention, and high wear resistance. In a small utility knife, this material combines compact dimensions with a durable cutting edge that performs well when regularly cutting fibrous and packaging materials.
Hawkbill – Curved Geometry for Controlled Cutting
The Hawkbill profile features a strongly curved cutting edge that helps keep the material in contact with the blade during movement. This geometry works well for cutting cords, tapes, straps, and other materials that might slip off a straighter edge. The flat grind ensures smooth blade guidance.
Full Serrated – fully serrated edge
The variant marked F/S features a Full Serrated edge. The serrations increase the aggressiveness of cuts through fibrous materials and allow for effective work with ropes, straps, or belts. Combined with the Hawkbill profile, it creates a configuration designed for quick and secure gripping of the material being cut.
Distressed Black – a cohesive finish for the entire design
Distressed Black covers both the blade and the handle, giving the entire construction a uniform, dark appearance with a deliberately aged look. This styling complements the Feather’s technical form well and highlights the knife’s one-piece construction.
M390 One-Piece Construction
The Feather does not use traditional handle grips—the handle is an integral part of the same steel structure as the blade. As a result, the knife remains exceptionally slim and structurally simple, and its weight remains low despite the use of full-fledged tool steel.
Kydex and Belt Clip
The set includes a Kydex sheath, which securely protects the blade during transport. The included belt clip allows for convenient attachment of the knife to a belt or other gear and ensures quick access to the knife during everyday use.
Why Choose the Microtech Feather 215-3DBKS?

Frequently Asked Questions
What does F/S stand for in the Feather model?
F/S stands for Full Serrated, meaning the cutting edge is fully serrated. This configuration works well when working with ropes, straps, belts, and other fibrous materials.
What is the Hawkbill profile used for?
The curved Hawkbill edge helps hold the material being cut against the blade instead of pushing it outward. This makes the profile particularly effective for cutting ropes and materials prone to slipping.
Does the Feather have separate handle grips?
No. The construction is made from a single piece of M390 steel, so the grip is an integral part of the knife.
What’s included in the set?
The knife comes with a Kydex sheath and a belt clip. The set allows for safe carrying and convenient attachment to a belt.
What makes Distressed Black stand out?
Distressed Black gives the blade a dark, intentionally aged look. The finish covers both the blade and the steel handle.
