Microtech Brass Sigil MK6 Flipper Bronzed Titanium DLC M390

The new Sigil MK6 from Microtech Knives is about 10% larger than the original Sigil model, and the result is a much better feel in the hand. This version has a Brass/Bronzed Titanium handle and a tumbled Black DLC M390 blade with brass plate. Comes brand new direct from Microtech Knives.

The Blade: The stonewashed black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) blade of the Sigil MK6 is a long wharncliffe style with a pronounced hole and wonderful flipper action. It is sabre ground and honed to a razor edge and features plenty of jimping on the top of the spine. As expected, flipping action is smooth and consistent with the blade running on a ball bearings pivot system.

The Handle: Like most of Deryk Munroe's knives, this one has tons of detail in the handle with extra machining done to get the details just right. The brass and Bronzed Apocalyptic 6AL4V titanium feature lightening pockets cutout from the insides. There is a brass plate to prevent lock overtravel, replaceable lock face and fully milled titanium clip all of which follow the knife's theme.

About M390: Bohler M390 has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its extreme edge retention. M390 also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid problems by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is its ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
