The Makora evolved from the Microtech Ultratech design. It has been field-tested and proven over several years. The Makora’s spring remains in an “at rest” position at all times except when deployed. With no force on the compressed spring when the knife is not in use, the effect is more reliability and confidence that the knife will operate when needed. Other features include easy one-handed operation, a premium steel blade, a reversible pocket clip, and tamper-resistant screws.
