Product Description
The Microtech Arbiter is one of the largest production fixed blades in the Microtech lineup — an 8.75" recurve clip point built for serious field and tactical use, not shelf display.
The blade runs Bohler M390MK — Microtech's in-house processed variant of Böhler M390, hardened to 61–62 HRC. At that hardness, M390MK delivers edge retention that outlasts most field steels while remaining corrosion resistant enough to handle wet environments without constant maintenance. The flat grind keeps the geometry aggressive without sacrificing control, and the stonewash finish reduces surface friction and hides field wear. The sharpened upper swedge adds a secondary cutting edge at the tip for precision work where the belly is too much blade.
The handle is black G-10 with milled crisscross texture — a grip surface that holds under wet or gloved hands. At 0.85" thick and full tang construction, this handle is built to transfer force without flex. The breaker pommel adds utility without adding dead weight.

Ideal for tactical operators who need a full-size fixed blade that runs with MOLLE kit without sourcing an aftermarket sheath. Works well for hunters and outdoorsmen who want field-capable steel in a large format that can handle processing work as readily as camp tasks. A natural choice for collectors building a complete Microtech fixed blade set designed by Adam Marfione.
