The Microtech MSI (Microtech Standard Issue) is built for hard use, combining a robust blade, rugged construction, and Microtech’s innovative RAM-LOK technology in a purpose-driven folder. This version features a 3.88-inch blade crafted from premium Böhler M390MK steel and finished with a tactical black coating for a clean, hard-use appearance.
Microtech’s proprietary M390MK steel was developed in collaboration with engineers at Böhler to improve edge retention and corrosion resistance over the already-popular M390 platform. The spring-assisted blade deploys through Microtech’s RAM-LOK crossbar opening and locking system, allowing quick, intuitive operation with a press of the lock and a flick of the wrist.
The frag-patterned olive drab green aircraft-grade aluminum handles add rugged texture and a military-inspired aesthetic while providing a secure, confident grip. Stainless steel Torx hardware complements the durable construction, while the ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip offers versatile carry. An oversized lanyard hole provides another practical carry option.
Measuring 5.06 inches closed and weighing 5.08 ounces, the MSI delivers a substantial feel without becoming unwieldy. Proudly made in the USA, it’s a serious everyday folder engineered for users who value strength, reliability, and distinctive Microtech styling.
