The Microtech MSI RAM-LOK Folding Knife OD Green Tri-Grip Injection Molded S/E Black PS BB Hardware is built to deliver dependable cutting performance and the tough reliability Microtech is known for. MSI stands for Microtech Standard Issue, and this manual folder was engineered to provide a capable everyday carry knife that won’t shy away from demanding tasks. Designed for heavy-duty use, the MSI combines premium materials with practical engineering to create a cutting tool that performs with confidence in a wide range of situations.
At the heart of the knife is a 3.88-inch partially serrated blade crafted from Microtech’s proprietary M390MK steel. Developed specifically for Microtech, this premium steel is known for exceptional edge retention, strong corrosion resistance, and the toughness required for hard-use applications. The partially serrated edge adds versatility by giving the blade the ability to bite into rope, webbing, and other fibrous materials while still maintaining a clean slicing edge for general cutting tasks. The black blade finish provides a clean tactical appearance while helping reduce glare during use. With a blade thickness of 0.16 inches, the MSI offers impressive strength and durability without sacrificing slicing efficiency.
The handle is constructed from high-strength injection molded polymer in OD green and features Microtech’s distinctive Tri-Grip texture. This design enhances traction and control, helping ensure a secure hold during demanding work or in challenging conditions. Beneath the polymer handle are hardened steel liner plates that reinforce the frame and provide the rigidity necessary for heavy-duty performance. This combination of lightweight polymer and internal steel reinforcement creates a handle that feels solid in hand while remaining comfortable for everyday carry.
A key feature of the MSI is Microtech’s RAM-LOK bar lock system. This innovative locking mechanism delivers exceptional lock strength while allowing smooth and fully ambidextrous operation. The lock is controlled through Microtech’s iconic X Button positioned on both sides of the handle, giving users intuitive access and confident control when opening or closing the blade. The design provides strong lockup and dependable performance whether the knife is being used for routine daily tasks or more demanding cutting work.
The knife is finished with blacked-out hardware that complements the black blade and enhances the overall tactical appearance. A reversible pocket clip allows for left-hand carry, giving users flexibility when setting up their preferred carry configuration. Despite its robust construction and full-size capability, the MSI weighs just 5.0 ounces, offering a comfortable balance between strength and portability. With an overall length of 8.93 inches and a handle thickness of 0.57 inches, the knife provides a confident grip and excellent control without feeling bulky in the pocket.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech MSI RAM-LOK Folding Knife reflects the company’s commitment to quality materials, innovative engineering, and dependable performance.
