High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for reliability when it counts, the MSI Mini delivers serious cutting performance in a compact, easy-to-carry design. This Microtech Standard Issue model combines modern materials with purposeful engineering, creating a folder that feels equally at home in a daily rotation or standing ready for tougher demands.
The 3.25" Sheepsfoot blade is crafted from proprietary M390MK stainless steel, a performance-driven upgrade engineered to maximize edge retention while strengthening corrosion resistance. Finished in a durable black coating, the blade carries a low-profile tactical look while adding another layer of protection against wear. The Sheepsfoot shape provides outstanding control through the cut, with a strong spine and practical edge geometry that excels at both detailed work and heavier utility tasks.
Deployment is fast and decisive thanks to the spring-assisted action working alongside Microtech’s RAM-LOK crossbar opening and locking system. A quick press followed by a flick of the wrist sends the blade into place with smooth authority, locking up solid for dependable use when precision matters most.
Frag-patterned tan anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles give the knife a rugged, field-ready presence without weighing it down. The textured pattern enhances grip while maintaining comfort, allowing for confident handling in a variety of conditions. Stainless steel Torx hardware reinforces the knife’s durable construction, while the ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip ensures convenient carry for both left- and right-handed users. An oversized lanyard hole rounds out the build, offering additional carry flexibility for those who prefer multiple setup options.
Measuring 4.25" closed and weighing just 3.4 ounces, the MSI Mini disappears easily into a pocket yet feels substantial in hand. Proudly made in the USA, it reflects a commitment to quality, innovation, and hardworking design.
