The Microtech Akris Fixed Blade is a purpose-built hunting knife designed to excel when precision, control, and reliability matter most. Compact enough for detailed field work yet robust enough to handle demanding outdoor tasks, the Akris combines premium materials, thoughtful ergonomics, and Microtech's renowned craftsmanship into a fixed blade that's ready for serious use.
Every aspect of the Akris has been engineered with practical performance in mind. Its 3.7" blade is crafted from M390MK steel, a premium steel developed specifically for Microtech that offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Whether you're skinning game, processing meat, preparing camp meals, or tackling general outdoor chores, the Akris delivers clean, efficient cutting performance with the durability needed for extended use in the field.
The blade features a rugged stonewashed finish that complements its hardworking design. This finish helps reduce glare while effectively concealing scratches and wear that naturally accumulate during use. The result is a knife that maintains its appearance while showcasing the character earned through time spent outdoors. With a 3.33" cutting edge, the blade geometry is optimized for controlled slicing and precision work, allowing users to make accurate cuts with confidence.
The handle is constructed from durable black G-10, a material trusted by professionals for its strength, stability, and resistance to moisture and environmental conditions. Designed to provide a secure and comfortable grip, the handle offers excellent control whether you're performing delicate cutting tasks or applying additional force during tougher jobs. The balance between the blade and handle creates a natural feel in hand, helping reduce fatigue during extended use.
At 8.19" overall and weighing approximately 6.2 ounces, the Akris strikes an ideal balance between portability and capability. It's compact enough to carry comfortably while providing the cutting power and control expected from a dedicated hunting knife. The full package is completed with a handcrafted dark chocolate leather sheath made in North Carolina. Built specifically for the Akris, the sheath adds a level of craftsmanship and carry comfort that perfectly complements the knife itself while providing secure retention and easy access in the field.
From the hunt camp to the backcountry and everywhere in between, the Akris is built to perform when reliability is essential. It embodies Microtech's commitment to precision manufacturing while delivering the rugged capability hunters and outdoorsmen demand.
