CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech MSI (Microtech Standard Issue) Mini delivers compact performance with the unmistakable attitude and precision engineering the brand is known for. Built for dependable everyday carry, this rugged folder blends premium materials, modern locking technology, and a tough working finish designed to handle real-world use.
At its core is a 3.25-inch sheepsfoot blade crafted from M30MK premium steel and finished with a rugged stonewash. This finish helps minimize the appearance of scratches and wear while giving the blade a refined working look. The sheepsfoot profile provides excellent control for slicing, utility work, and detailed cuts, making it a practical and reliable blade shape for daily tasks.
Fast, smooth deployment comes from Microtech’s RAM-LOK crossbar opening and locking system. This spring-assisted mechanism allows the blade to snap open with a quick press and flick of the wrist while delivering strong, dependable lockup during use. The ambidextrous crossbar design makes operation comfortable and natural for both left- and right-handed users.
The handle is built from durable black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum and features an aggressive frag-pattern texture that enhances grip without adding unnecessary bulk. Stainless steel Torx hardware strengthens the construction, while an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip keeps the knife secure and easy to access throughout the day. An oversized lanyard hole adds extra versatility for those who prefer a customized carry setup.
Measuring 4.25 inches closed and weighing just 3.4 ounces, the MSI Mini offers an ideal balance between portability and performance. It’s compact enough for comfortable pocket carry yet tough enough to tackle demanding everyday tasks. Like all Microtech knives, it’s proudly made in the USA with exceptional attention to detail and build quality.
