The Microtech D.O.C. Flipper Manual Black DLC Combo (153-2)—short for Death On Contact—is a bold, heavy-duty folding knife born from a collaboration between Anthony Marfione and Mick Strider. Designed with a rugged, tactical mindset, the DOC blends Microtech precision with Strider’s iconic hard-use philosophy.
This model features a compound-ground spear point blade with a combo edge (plain + serrated), making it highly versatile for both slicing and aggressive cutting tasks. The blade is finished in black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), providing enhanced wear resistance, corrosion protection, and a stealthy non-reflective look.
Built with a 6061-T6 aluminum handle, the DOC offers a robust yet lightweight feel, paired with a sub-frame lock system that ensures strong lockup and durability under hard use. The ergonomic design includes a deep finger groove and choil, allowing for a secure grip and excellent control during demanding tasks.
