The Microtech MSI RAM-LOK Folder S/E Black Part Serrate Fluted Aluminum Natural Clear is built to tackle demanding work with the strength, precision, and reliability expected from the Microtech Standard Issue lineup. Designed as a hard-use manual folder, the MSI® blends rugged utility with premium materials and innovative engineering, making it equally at home in everyday carry, outdoor environments, or professional applications. Every detail reflects Microtech's commitment to creating knives that perform when it matters most.
At the center of the MSI is a 3.88-inch single edge blade crafted from Microtech-exclusive M390MK steel. Developed specifically for Microtech, M390MK delivers exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, giving users a blade that's ready for repeated hard use without sacrificing cutting performance. This version features a partially serrated edge, offering the versatility to make clean slicing cuts while adding aggressive cutting power for rope, webbing, and other tough fibrous materials. The black blade finish provides a sleek tactical appearance while adding an extra layer of durability for everyday use.
This MSI stands out with its fluted aluminum handle finished in a natural clear anodized color. Precision machined for strength and reduced weight, the aluminum scales provide a solid, confidence-inspiring feel without adding unnecessary bulk. The fluted texture enhances grip while giving the knife a clean, modern appearance that complements its purpose-built design. The natural clear finish showcases the precision machining of the handle, creating a refined look that's equally at home in the field or the pocket.
The handle incorporates Microtech's proven RAM-LOK® Bar Lock, delivering secure lockup, smooth operation, and fully ambidextrous functionality. Paired with the company's signature X Button on both sides, the lock is intuitive to operate whether you're right- or left-handed. A titanium backspacer adds lightweight strength to the frame, while the reversible pocket clip accommodates either carry preference, making the MSI adaptable to virtually any user.
Measuring 8.93 inches overall and weighing just 5.0 ounces, the MSI offers the capability of a full-size work knife while remaining comfortable enough for daily carry. Its ergonomic design, premium construction, and precision-tuned action make it an excellent choice for demanding cutting tasks, everyday utility, and long-term reliability. Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech MSI RAM-LOK continues the brand's tradition of combining innovative design, premium materials, and uncompromising craftsmanship into a knife that's built to work as hard as you do.
