The Microtech Hera II Mini 1703M-10OD is a compact D/A OTF automatic knife that combines a Drop Point blade made of Böhler M390MK steel, a stonewashed finish, and an OD Green aluminum handle. Its slim design, light weight, and full automatic functionality make it a practical choice for everyday carry.

The OD Green variant stands out with its subdued, outdoor-inspired color scheme, which complements the blade’s matte finish well. The push/pull thumb slider allows for one-handed operation, and the reversible tip-down clip ensures comfortable carrying on either the right or left side.

Böhler M390MK – High Resistance and a Durable Edge

Böhler M390MK is a steel developed for Microtech based on M390. It offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting sharpness, which suits the nature of a lightweight everyday carry automatic knife well.

Drop Point – a versatile geometry

The Drop Point profile provides an easy-to-control tip and a practical cutting edge. The flat grind supports efficient cutting of materials and ensures the blade retains its versatile character.

Stonewashed – a finish for regular use

The stonewashed finish creates a matte, irregular surface on which minor signs of wear are less visible. It pairs well with OD Green and emphasizes the more utilitarian nature of this version.

OD Green 6061-T6 Aluminum

The handle is made of 6061-T6 aluminum in OD Green. The material provides adequate rigidity while remaining lightweight, and the slim profile makes it easy to carry the knife comfortably during everyday use.

Slide Lock and Automatic OTF

The OTF mechanism works in both directions: sliding the thumb slider forward extends the blade, and sliding it back automatically retracts it. Slide Lock works in conjunction with the entire system and ensures the proper functioning of the automatic mechanism.

Why Choose the Microtech Hera II Mini 1703M-10OD?

This is the model for users who prefer outdoor-inspired colors and a compact design. The M390MK blade, Drop Point profile, stonewashed finish, and OD Green aluminum handle create a lightweight and practical configuration that works well as a modern EDC knife.
