Microtech Arbiter Tactical Standard Black M390 Black G10 Fixed Blade 104-1T

The Arbiter is a massive, Bowie-inspired fixed blade combat knife executed with typical and iconic Microtech style. The clip point, recurve blade is essentially double-edged with the sharpened swedge running half the length of the blade. This aggressive blade is sure to settle any disputes with haste. This tactical standard version comes with black coated M390 blade and blasted, black G10 handles with matching hardware.

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The massive Bowie-style blade of the Arbiter is made from premium, Bohler M390 stainless steel with a durable, poly-ceramic black Cerakote coating offering a durable, non-reflective and corrosion resistant finish. The sharpened top clip delivers just over 4.5 inches of cutting edge, pairing with the +8.5 inch primary cutting edge to deliver over a foot of razor sharp cutting edge in a +14 inch package. Two jimped sections on the spine add traction for a secure grip with a generous choil for additional control.

Handle: Two slabs of blasted black G10 are attached to the full tang via black proprietary hardware and have cross milled grooves and strategically placed jimping around the handle for a solid and secure grip. The forward guard provides added security for heavy work with a forward finger choil for more controlled tasks. The tang is exposed at the pommel for striking and a wide, milled hole is available for lanyard attachment.

Sheath: Carries via a molded carbon fiber pattern Kydex sheath with two Blade-Tech Molle Loks.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 (analog to CPM-20CV and CTS-204P) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high carbide content for some of the highest edge retention and corrosion resistance while being relatively easy to sharpen. A popular choice for high-end production and custom knives. Relatively high carbide volume and coarse microstructure gives this steel lower toughness.
