Signature Series - an elite line of Microtech products designed for buyers who are looking for a more exclusive touch to the much-loved Core Series production models (logo with claws on the knife). The highest quality materials and finishes are often used in the production of Signature Series knives. The line also includes themed knives such as Bounty Hunter, Outbreak, Memento Mori and Molon Labe.

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 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 long S/E type blade(Single Edge Clip Point) Bowie, coated with Outbreak. Despite its thickness, the flat grind (Flat Grind) provides excellent cutting qualities combined with excellent durability. A large choil at the beginning of the cutting edge provides finger room for a precise grip. The wedge bears the Microtech logo, as well as the serial number and production date. The long false blade combined with the weight of the knife provides impressive piercing capabilities. On the back of the blade a finger notch.

Handle - profiled with finger notches. Grips made of G10 composite attached directly to the blade with proprietary Microtech screws. This is the simplest and most secure design that ensures the practical indestructibility of the knife. The advantage of G10 is the extraordinary strength of the material combined with almost complete insensitivity to weather conditions. Handle covered along its entire length with notches (jimping) which strengthens the certainty of the grip and control over the knife while working. The protruding section of the tango can be used as a glass breaker, and also includes a lanyard hole , a hole for a belaying or decorative rope.

Sheath - made of carbon fiber laminated kydex, provides a secure hold on the knife in any position. The M.O.L.L.E. type attachment to the belt or to the equipment's shoulder stock allows the knife to be carried vertically or horizontally.
