660,76 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.

Borka Blades (Sebastijan Berenji) is a very popular maker of custom knives with skills that attract a multitude of blade enthusiasts. Sebastijan was born and raised in Yugoslavia and became a US citizen in 2016. The company is named after his late mother, Borka. A few years after he began his career as a knifemaker, he designed a unique folding knife and generated a lot of interest among collectors and enthusiasts. He not only attracted attention, but also attracted the interest of Microtech Knives CEO Anthony Marfione, who offered him a partnership.
M390MK - a collaboration between Microtech and Böhler engineers resulted in an exclusive version of M390 steel made only for Microtech. The carbon content has been increased and subjected to closer scrutiny thus improving the properties of M390 steel to provide 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.
Ram-Lok™ (Crossbar Lock) - a transverse bar that moves horizontally within longitudinal cutouts in the steel liners of the handle’s frame. When the knife is opened, the locking bar engages the rear portion of the blade from above, preventing it from returning to the closed position. The bar is pressed forward by two springs. Unlocking occurs by pulling the bar backward; its ends are accessible through cutouts in the handle scales on both sides. In the closed position, the bar presses against the cam surface at the rear of the blade, preventing accidental opening. The advantages of the Ram-Lok mechanism include high resistance to dirt and debris, practical immunity to dynamic loads, easy operation with either hand, and smooth, lightweight action.
Blade - a wide, S/E (Single Edge) Spear Point profile. Finished with Double Vapor Blast Stainless, giving the blade a very smooth, elegantly matte surface that is resistant to reflections and minor scratches, achieved through a double blasting process. The gently curved cutting edge tapers to a needle-sharp point, while the solid blade thickness combined with a flat grind provides excellent cutting performance and high durability. The long false edge along the spine further enhances the blade’s piercing capabilities. The knife is opened via a wide, oval thumb hole. For full control, a large, jimped finger choil is positioned at the base of the blade, and upper jimping on the spine provides a textured thumb rest. The blade is securely locked in place with a convenient Ram-Lok mechanism.
Handle – crafted with the highest precision using 3D CNC milling technology from durable titanium, finished with a stonewashed treatment that gives it an elegant, matte appearance and resistance to minor scratches. For improved grip, the handle surface features a distinctive texture resembling a fragmentation grenade pattern (Frag Pattern). The wide lock slider with Microtech’s signature stepped design (X Button) ensures secure and comfortable operation. Both handle scales are connected by a solid, bronze accent titanium backspacer, which enhances the structural rigidity. A reversible (right/left) pocket clip allows for discreet tip-up carry. The protruding section of the backspacer with a lanyard hole can also serve as an improvised glass breaker.
