CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech MSI (Microtech Standard Issue) is built for hard use and designed to stand its ground in any situation. This American-made folding knife features a 3.88" drop point blade crafted from premium steel and finished in Microtech’s distinct Apocalyptic wash—a rugged, battle-worn look that adds character without compromising performance. The broad blade profile offers a long cutting edge, strong tip, and enough belly for slicing, making it a dependable choice for both utility and defense.
At the core of the MSI is Microtech’s RAM-LOK system, a spring-assisted crossbar mechanism that offers smooth, reliable deployment with a flick of the wrist. A press of the lock bar sends the blade into action with a confidence-inspiring snap. It's fast, intuitive, and built to withstand repeated use in harsh conditions.
The black fluted G-10 handle scales deliver strength without excess weight, offering a secure, ergonomic grip with just enough texturing for control in wet or gloved hands. Stainless steel Torx hardware and the oversized lanyard hole give the knife a purpose-built look, while the ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip—etched with Microtech’s Signature Series branding—ensures a secure ride in any carry setup.
At 5.06" closed and weighing 5.08oz, the MSI carries like a working knife should: solid, balanced, and always ready. Whether you're in the field, on the job, or on your own time, it’s a knife made to get things done without compromise.
