Microtech MSI Manual Folder S/E Tri-Grip Polymer Sangria Cerakote Standard MT210T1PMCSR

The Microtech MSI Manual Folder S/E Tri‑Grip Polymer Sangria Cerakote Standard represents a new direction in hard‑use folding knives, built from the ground up to meet the demands of real-world carry. MSI stands for Microtech Standard Issue, and that name reflects its purpose: a dependable, no‑nonsense manual folder designed to perform day after day without compromise. This knife blends modern materials, proven engineering, and a bold visual identity into a tool that feels equally at home on the job or in a serious everyday carry rotation.

At the center of the MSI is its single‑edge blade crafted from M390MK steel, a premium alloy developed specifically for Microtech. Known for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and balanced toughness, this blade is built to handle sustained use without constant maintenance. Measuring 3.88 inches with a substantial 0.16-inch thickness, it offers a confident cutting profile that feels controlled and powerful in hand. The Sangria Cerakote finish adds a distinctive look while enhancing protection against wear and the elements.

The handle is constructed from high‑strength polymer reinforced with hardened steel liner plates, giving the knife impressive rigidity without excessive weight. At 5.0 ounces, the MSI strikes a balance between durability and carry comfort. The Tri‑Grip texturing provides secure traction in a variety of conditions, helping the knife stay planted in your hand during demanding tasks. A titanium backspacer adds structural integrity and a refined finishing touch to the overall build.

One of the standout features of the MSI is the RAM‑LOK™ Bar Lock, Microtech’s ambidextrous locking system designed for strength, safety, and ease of use. Paired with the brand’s iconic X Button on both sides of the handle, the lock allows for smooth, controlled operation whether you’re right‑ or left‑handed. The reversible pocket clip further supports left‑hand carry, making this a truly adaptable manual folder.

Made in the USA, the MSI reflects the precision manufacturing and performance-driven mindset that define Microtech. From its robust internal construction to its bold Sangria Cerakote finish, this knife is built to work hard, carry comfortably, and stand out without sacrificing function.

Deep Sangria Cerakote brings rich color and attitude to both blade and handle in a bold MSI build, available at SMKW.
