Microtech – 96-10OD – Always Survive – Fixed Blade Knife – M390MK Stonewash Drop Point – Milled G10 – OD Green

The Microtech 96-10OD Always Survive is a premium fixed-blade knife developed through the collaboration of Tony Marfione and Sebastijan Berenji, combining refined custom-knife design with the durability and functionality expected from a hard-use outdoor and utility tool. Inspired by the Borka Knives custom design of the same name, this model delivers a purposeful combination of rugged construction, ergonomic handling, and versatile cutting performance. Finished with distinctive OD green G10 handle scales and a stonewashed blade, the 96-10OD offers a practical, understated appearance suited to enthusiasts who appreciate high-quality American-made knives. At the center of the Always Survive is a 4.45-inch drop point blade crafted from Bohler M390MK stainless steel. Selected for its premium blade performance, this steel is valued for its wear resistance, edge retention, and corrosion resistance when properly maintained. The blade’s generous belly provides an effective cutting profile for slicing tasks, while the controlled point supports detailed work that benefits from precision. Its hollow grind helps establish an efficient cutting geometry, making the knife useful for a range of general-purpose cutting applications. A stonewashed finish completes the blade with a subdued, textured appearance that complements the knife’s utilitarian character while helping disguise minor surface marks from regular use. The handle is constructed from milled OD green G10, a durable composite material commonly selected for its strength, dimensional stability, and dependable grip characteristics. Carefully contoured surfaces provide a comfortable, secure interface for the hand, while the substantial handle proportions contribute to confident control during extended cutting sessions. Measuring 4.875 inches long and approximately 0.620 inches thick, the handle balances the blade’s substantial dimensions with a practical grip designed for demanding everyday and outdoor applications. Stainless steel Torx screws secure the handle components and contribute to the knife’s clean, purposeful construction. With an overall length of 9.15 inches, the Microtech Always Survive offers the reach and cutting capacity of a full-size fixed blade while maintaining a manageable weight of 5.08 ounces. Its thoughtful proportions make it suitable for outdoor utility, camping preparations, general equipment tasks, and other appropriate cutting needs. The combination of premium steel, durable handle materials, and a practical blade profile reflects a design philosophy centered on functional performance rather than unnecessary embellishment.
