The liners and integrated bolsters are milled from one-piece of titanium with the handle slabs set into them. Cut into the reversible titanium clip is MKM&#8217;s distinctive mountainscape logo. The clip is held in place by two torx screws, making it easy to reverse the clip.<br \/>\nDouble-sided stepped thumb studs allow ambidextrous blade opening. Choice of the back-lock is another intentional ambidextrous design feature. Jimping for extra thumb grip spans the blade and lock bar.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11920 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11920 { --fg-gutter: 10px;

color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>What is it like to use?<\/b><br \/>\nI had the good fortune to be introduced to the Hero by its designer Tommaso Rumici, and get a run down of the features directly from the horse&#8217;s mouth. To my amusement, with this demonstration coming near the end of IWA 2022, and hands being well sanitised, and dried to a crisp, I managed to crack my thumb open on the Hero&#8217;s thumb stud and bleed all over the blade without actually cutting myself on the edge.<br \/>\nAs I have got to know the Hero, there is one aspect I&#8217;m not so keen about, and that is that the thumb stud is a little on the pointy side. You do need to be careful to press onto the side of the stud and avoid pushing straight onto it to swing out the blade.<br \/>\nA good back-lock makes for a supremely practical layout in an ambidextrous focused knife. Unlike liner or integral locks, which are handed, the back-lock is predictable, reliable and absolutely identical in operation regardless of the hand holding the knife.<br \/>\nWhere a lot of the design intent shows through is in its handling, and we must talk about the Hero&#8217;s handle. In terms of width, the Hero is actually pretty slim, so is nicely low profile in a pocket, but the depth and generous swell\/hook at the butt of the handle is where the huge flexibility of grip positions and fantastic grip stability comes from.<br \/>\nFor really controlled work, you can choke right up on the handle and place a finger on the guard\/bolster bringing you to the cutting edge. At the complete opposite extreme grip position, taking a hold when you might want to use a chopping motion, thanks to the grip swell, you can take a secure grip of the very end of the handle with your first two fingers without worry of losing your hold on the Hero even when striking down with it.<br \/>\nThen you can take the middle ground with a standard grip and rest your thumb on the jimping that spans the end of the lock bar and blade for control and cutting force. When using this grip position, you can alter the angle the blade is presented by changing the pressure of your little finger on the butt hook. Doing this makes the knife swivel about your first finger, opening out, or closing in the position of the blade relative to your hand and making the blade extremely agile in use.<br \/>\nExactly as intended, the Hero is big enough for most EDC tasks, and most general purpose jobs, yet not too big to put you off carrying it.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11939 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-11939 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom fg-no-js\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-11939\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-28-in-hand-P1004299.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11940\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-28-in-hand-P1004299\/3360268870.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-29-in-hand-P1004301.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11941\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-29-in-hand-P1004301\/2754246937.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-30-in-hand-P1004304.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11942\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-30-in-hand-P1004304\/1776436432.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-31-in-hand-P1004306.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11943\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-31-in-hand-P1004306\/3609222690.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-32-in-hand-P1004308.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"11944\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2023\/02\/MKM-Hero-32-in-hand-P1004308\/2721143941.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>Review Summary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this summary table are from the point of view of the reviewer\u2019s personal use.
