The Microtech Akris 95-10HV-1 is a full-size fixed-blade knife designed by Tony Marfione to combine the functional Drop Point geometry, Böhler M390MK steel, and a secure grip provided by G10 scales. The High Visibility variant stands out with its vibrant handle colors, which make it easy to quickly locate the knife among field gear.
The slender blade with a stonewashed finish, combined with a concave grind, ensures that the Akris maintains good cutting performance despite its relatively thin blade. The full-size handle provides a stable grip during extended use, and the included dark brown leather sheath emphasizes the more classic character of this variant.
Böhler M390MK – steel developed for Microtech
The blade is made of Böhler M390MK steel, a special variant of M390 developed for Microtech in collaboration with Böhler. The alloy combines high corrosion resistance with excellent edge retention, making it well-suited for a knife intended for regular use. The properties of M390MK are well-suited for both precision cutting and typical outdoor tasks as well as everyday utility work.
Drop Point and Concave Grind
The Drop Point profile provides a versatile shape with a well-controlled tip and a gently curved spine. The concave grind reduces the amount of material behind the cutting edge, improving the blade’s ability to penetrate the material being cut. This combination works well for precision cutting, food preparation, working with packaging, and lighter outdoor activities.
Stonewashed finish – a utilitarian blade
The blade surface has been finished using the stonewashed method, resulting in a matte and slightly irregular texture. This type of finish effectively masks minor scratches and typical signs of wear, allowing the knife to maintain its aesthetic appearance even with frequent outdoor use.
High Visibility G10 – a secure grip and high visibility
The handle is made of G10 in the High Visibility variant. This composite provides rigidity, moisture resistance, and a stable grip, while the vibrant colors make it easy to spot the knife among your gear, on the ground, or in a cluttered environment. The full-size handle profile allows for comfortable control of the blade during both precise and more forceful movements.
Dark brown leather sheath
The set includes a dark chocolate-brown leather sheath, which protects the blade and allows for safe carrying of the knife. The leather complements the classic fixed-blade design well and gives this variant a more traditional character than configurations using plastic sheaths.
Why Choose the Microtech Akris 95-10HV-1?

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Drop Point profile in the Akris model stand out?
The Drop Point provides a versatile blade profile and a well-controlled tip. This geometry works well for both precision cutting and everyday tasks requiring a versatile blade.
What are the advantages of the Hollow grind?
The concave grind reduces the amount of material directly above the cutting edge, allowing the blade to easily penetrate the material being cut. It is particularly beneficial for tasks requiring a clean and controlled cut.
Why was High Visibility G10 used?
The handle’s vibrant colors make it easy to locate the knife in the field or among your gear. G10 itself provides high moisture resistance, stability, and durability during regular use.
How do you care for the leather sheath?
It’s best to store the sheath in a dry place and periodically treat it with a product designed for natural leather. After coming into contact with moisture, allow it to dry at room temperature without using intense heat sources.
