Opis
Glykon Natural Clear Aluminum/Apocalyptic Titanium, Apocalyptic is a large OTF(OutTheFront) knife from the Glykon series. It is the first OTF equipped with a tri-sided actuator, providing fully ambidextrous, comfortable operation, and its lightning-fast mechanism deploys a razor-sharp blade in an instant. 100% made and assembled in the USA. A design by Anthony and Sean Marfione of Microtech Knives.
Glykon OTF Line – the name comes from a mythical deity of Greek and Roman tradition, depicted as a chimera with the body of a snake and the head of a gazelle with human-like hair. Glykon is the first OTF automatic knife equipped with a three-sided activation button, enabling fully ambidextrous and intuitive operation.It is the result of countless hours of design, prototyping, testing, and refinement — a creation that sets a new gold standard for OTF constructions. With its modified blade, the patent-pending three-sided activation mechanism, and a reversible pocket clip, Glykon may be the most user-friendly knife Microtech has ever produced.
M390 Microclean®- a martensitic high-performance chrome 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 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% 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 in the D/E(DoubleEdge) with Bayonet profile and is sharpened on both sides. Finished in a matte Apocalyptic patina, giving it an aged, battle‑worn appearance while effectively masking minor scratches that occur during use.The blade is ground with a high flat grind, providing excellent cutting performance while maintaining high durability and outstanding piercing capability. The long, centrally positioned fuller further reinforces the blade’s structure.The strong mechanism for deploying and retracting the blade is operated by three knurled, stepped Thumb Slide switches, positioned on both sides and on the spine of the handle. For safety, it requires noticeable force to overcome the spring tension. This solution ensures comfortable and secure operation for both right- and left-handed users.
Handle -crafted with exceptional precision using 3D CNC machining. The lower section is made from polished 6061-T6 aluminum, while the upper section is made from titanium finished with an Apocalyptic patina. The surface texture ensures a secure grip and prevents the knife from slipping in the hand during use. Jimping has been added to the spine and underside of the handle to further enhance grip stability.The ergonomic profile and the milled, heavy-duty, two-position (right/left) deep-carry clip allow for discreet pocket carry in the tip-down position (blade tip down). The clip features the Microtech logo.
