Microtech MSI Folding Knife Black Fluted G-10 Handle STN WSH Standard Blade MT21010FLGTBK

The Microtech MSI Folding Knife with Black Fluted G-10 Handle and STN WSH Standard Blade represents a bold step forward in Microtech’s lineup of manual folders. MSI stands for Microtech Standard Issue, and this model was built to deliver dependable performance with the strength and engineering expected from one of America’s most respected knife manufacturers. Designed for heavy-duty use, the MSI combines purposeful design with premium materials to create a knife that performs as well as it looks.

The blade measures 3.88 inches and is crafted from Microtech’s proprietary M390MK steel. Developed specifically for Microtech, this high-performance steel offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a clean, working appearance while helping to hide the signs of regular use. With a blade thickness of 0.16 inches, the MSI provides the strength needed for demanding cutting tasks while maintaining excellent slicing performance. The standard edge blade shape offers versatility for a wide range of everyday cutting jobs.

The handle is constructed from black fluted G-10, a material known for its durability, strength, and resistance to the elements. The fluted texture improves grip while maintaining a comfortable feel in hand. Beneath the G-10 scales are hardened steel liner plates that reinforce the frame and add rigidity to the overall structure. The result is a knife that feels solid and dependable whether it’s tackling daily tasks or heavier cutting work.

At the heart of the MSI’s design is Microtech’s RAM-LOK bar lock system. This innovative locking mechanism provides excellent strength and smooth operation while allowing ambidextrous access. The knife also features Microtech’s iconic X Button on both sides of the handle, giving users easy and intuitive control during operation. The design promotes confident handling and reliable lockup every time the blade is deployed.

A titanium backspacer adds durability and a subtle touch of refinement while contributing to the knife’s overall strength. The reversible pocket clip allows for left-hand carry, making the MSI adaptable to different carry preferences. Despite its robust build, the knife weighs just 5.0 ounces, offering a balanced combination of durability and everyday carry comfort. With an overall length of 8.93 inches and a handle thickness of 0.57 inches, the MSI provides a solid grip and excellent control.

Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech MSI Folding Knife reflects the company’s commitment to quality, innovation, and performance. It’s built for those who demand a dependable cutting tool that won’t compromise on strength, precision, or craftsmanship.
