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 sheepsfoot blade crafted from premium Böhler M390MK steel with a partially serrated edge and rugged Stonewash finish, giving it a distinctive working character with added versatility.
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 fluted orange aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a secure, contoured grip and high-visibility appearance. Stainless steel Torx hardware complements the rugged construction, while the ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip offers versatile everyday carry. An oversized lanyard hole provides an additional carry option.
Measuring 5.06 inches closed and weighing 5.08 ounces, the MSI delivers the substantial feel expected from a hard-use folder while remaining practical for everyday carry. Proudly made in the USA, it combines premium materials, precision engineering, and distinctive Microtech styling in one highly capable package.
