The Microtech Akris 95-10DE-5 is a functional fixed-blade knife that combines Böhler M390MK steel, a concave grind, and a versatile Drop Point profile with a Dark Earth-colored G10 handle. In this configuration, the design takes on a more rugged character, complemented by a black Kydex sheath designed for safe blade carry.
The slender blade provides good cutting performance without excessive weight, and the full-size handle allows for a stable grip during extended use. The stonewashed finish effectively masks typical signs of wear, while the G10 handle performs well in environments exposed to moisture, dirt, and variable terrain conditions.
M390MK – High Corrosion Resistance and Edge Retention
Böhler M390MK is a special version of M390 steel developed for Microtech. Its high chromium content and advanced powder metallurgy result in excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting sharpness. In the Akris, this steel complements the blade’s slim geometry well, creating a cutting edge suitable for regular utility and outdoor work.
Drop Point and Hollow Grind
The Drop Point profile provides a balanced blade shape with a strong yet easy-to-control tip. The hollow grind reduces resistance during cutting and allows for the effective use of a relatively thin blade. The combination of these two features works well for food preparation, cutting ropes and packaging, and performing precise tasks that require good blade control.
Stonewashed – a surface for regular use
The blade features a stonewashed finish, which gives the surface a matte and slightly irregular texture. This finish helps mask minor scratches and marks resulting from normal use, preserving the knife’s functional appearance even with frequent outdoor use.
Dark Earth G10 – a durable handle for outdoor use
G10 scales in Dark Earth provide a secure grip and high resistance to moisture and changing environmental conditions. The material requires no special maintenance and performs well in utility knives. The ergonomic handle profile allows for comfortable control of the blade during use, and the subdued color scheme emphasizes the outdoor character of this version.
Black Kydex Sheath
The set includes a black Kydex sheath, which securely protects the blade and facilitates safe carrying of the knife. The material is resistant to moisture and dirt, and its rigid construction effectively protects the cutting edge during transport and storage.
Why Choose the Microtech Akris 95-10DE-5?
The Dark Earth variant is designed for practical field use. The M390MK ensures high-quality blade material, the hollow-ground edge supports efficient cutting, and the G10 handle performs well in more demanding conditions. The black Kydex sheath further enhances the set’s functionality, creating a cohesive configuration for everyday carry and work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What applications is the Drop Point profile suitable for?
The Drop Point is a versatile profile suitable for both cutting and more precise tip work. It performs well in everyday tasks and during outdoor use.
What are the benefits of the hollow grind on the Akris?
The hollow grind provides a thin profile behind the cutting edge, which improves the blade’s ability to penetrate the material. It works well for tasks where a clean and controlled cut is essential.
Does G10 perform well in humid environments?
Yes. G10 is a moisture-resistant and dimensionally stable composite, making it well-suited for outdoor knife handles. It also does not require the waterproofing typically needed for many natural materials.
What are the advantages of a Kydex sheath?
Kydex is rigid, moisture-resistant, and easy to clean. The sheath provides good protection for the blade and performs well in outdoor conditions where resistance to dirt and changing weather conditions is essential.
