Top-quality materials and finishes are often used in the production of Signature Series knives. The line also includes themed knives such as Bounty Hunter, Memento Mori and Molon Labe.

M390MK - thanks to the cooperation of Microtech and Böhler engineers, an exclusive version of M390 steel made only for Microtech was created. The carbon content has been increased and subjected to closer scrutiny thus improving the properties of M390 steel for better edge retention, corrosion resistance and polishing. Martensitic high-performance chromium steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 19.0% (Cr) doped with 1.95% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - machine ground Dagger D/E (Double Edge) type, sharpened on both sides. Finished with an elegant satin finish. The blade was brought out with a high flat gr ind (Flat Grind), providing excellent cutting properties with a central grain . This gives the knife excellent piercing properties while maintaining its strength. The powerful mechanism of extending/retracting the blade with the help of the moled Thumb Slide, a stepped thumb slide requires for safety the application of a specific force to overcome the resistance of the spring. The method of opening provides seamless opening for both right and left-handed people.

Handle - made with perfect precision in 3D technology on CNC milling machines, from 6061-T6 aluminum, decorated with a Halloween Bats graphic motif . The surface texture of the Handle makes the knife non-slip in the hand during use. There are notches (jimping) on the back and bottom of the handle for a more secure grip. Slim profile and milled from titanium, the two-position (right/left) pocket clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-down (blade tip down) position. Equipped with a smooth rollerball that allows the knife to slide easily into a pocket without damaging the pocket edges.
