The Microtech MSI, or Microtech Standard Issue, brings heavy-duty capability to a manual folder designed for serious everyday use. Built around Microtech's proven engineering and purposeful construction, the MSI combines a substantial cutting platform with a comfortable, controllable design. This version pairs a Sky Blue finish with a white Tri-Grip polymer handle, creating a distinctive look that stands apart while maintaining the rugged character of the MSI platform.
The 3.88-inch single-edge sheepsfoot blade is crafted from premium Böhler M390MK stainless steel, giving the MSI excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability for demanding everyday cutting tasks. The sheepsfoot profile offers a practical cutting geometry with a controlled tip, making it well suited for precise utility work and everyday chores. The Sky Blue blade finish adds a bold touch of color while giving this MSI a clean, modern appearance.
At the center of the knife is Microtech's RAM-LOK Bar Lock, providing secure, intuitive blade retention and smooth operation. The Iconic X Button is positioned on both sides of the handle, giving the MSI an ambidextrous control layout that's easy to manipulate from either hand. This thoughtful design makes the knife comfortable to operate while providing confident lockup during use.
The white Tri-Grip polymer handle offers a secure, ergonomic grip while maintaining the durable construction expected from the MSI platform. Hardened steel liner plates inside the handle provide additional rigidity and structural support, helping the knife stand up to repeated use. The contrasting white handle and Sky Blue blade finish give this MSI a clean, distinctive appearance that's equally at home in an EDC rotation or collection.
A titanium backspacer adds another premium element to the construction, while the reversible pocket clip allows the knife to be configured for either left- or right-hand carry. This gives you the flexibility to set up the MSI around your preferred carry style and keeps the knife secure and accessible throughout the day.
Measuring 8.93 inches overall with a 3.88-inch blade and weighing 5 ounces, the MSI offers a substantial cutting platform without becoming unnecessarily cumbersome. It's sized for users who want an everyday folder with enough capability to handle more demanding tasks.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech MSI RAM-LOK combines Böhler M390MK stainless steel, a durable Tri-Grip polymer handle, hardened steel liners, a titanium backspacer, and an ambidextrous RAM-LOK Bar Lock. With its Sky Blue finish and white handle, it's a rugged manual folder with a distinctive modern edge.
