The Microtech MSI Folding Knife S/E Frag Distressed Grenade Green Apocalyptic Standard represents the next evolution in Microtech’s lineup of high-performance manual folders. Engineered for those who demand both precision and durability, the MSI combines advanced materials, innovative design, and Microtech’s signature attention to detail in a compact, powerful package. This knife isn’t just a tool—it’s a statement of engineering and craftsmanship built for serious users and collectors alike.
At the heart of the MSI is a 3.88-inch blade crafted from M390MK steel, a proprietary formulation created exclusively for Microtech. Known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, M390MK delivers professional-grade performance in a folder you can carry every day. The blade sports the Apocalyptic Standard finish, providing a low-glare, rugged look that conceals wear over time while enhancing its tactical and visual appeal. A sharp, precise edge meets a controllable tip, making this folder as capable in intricate cutting tasks as it is in heavy-duty applications.
The knife features Microtech’s innovative RAM-LOK™ Bar Lock, a design-pending locking mechanism that ensures solid engagement and smooth operation. The dual Iconic X Buttons on either side of the handle allow for multiple deployment methods, giving the user options to open the knife with confidence and speed. A thumb hole adds another layer of accessibility, allowing for quick, precise deployment in any situation.
The handle is constructed from frag distressed aluminum in green, offering a textured surface for enhanced grip and visual appeal. Steel liners within the handle provide rigidity and strength, while the integrated titanium backspacer adds both balance and resilience. A reversible pocket clip allows for tip-up carry on either side, accommodating left- or right-handed users with ease. With a handle thickness of 0.57 inches and overall length of 8.93 inches, the MSI is substantial enough to handle tough tasks yet compact enough for comfortable everyday carry.
Weighing just 5.0 ounces, the MSI balances portability with performance. Precision-machined components, proprietary materials, and thoughtful ergonomics combine to make this folder a reliable companion whether you’re using it in the field, at the range, or as part of a high-end knife collection. Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech MSI S/E Frag Distressed Grenade Green folds advanced engineering into a compact, high-performance design.
Available at SMKW, the Microtech MSI S/E features a green frag aluminum handle, M390MK steel blade, and innovative RAM-LOK locking system.
