Finding a full-sized everyday carry folder that delivers unyielding grip traction, lightweight durability, and aggressive cutting power can be a challenge for knife enthusiasts considering the Microtech Standard Issue (MSI®) folding knife. Smooth polymer or metal handles can sometimes feel slick in wet or gloved hands. The Microtech MSI Fluted Tan G-10 edition solves this dilemma by pairing Microtech's flagship manual crossbar lock folder with ultra-tough, precision-milled G-10 handle scales in a classic earth-tone colorway.
This full-sized production model features lightweight, chemical-resistant G-10 handle scales milled with fine diagonal fluting for exceptional tactile control and finished in a tactical Tan hue. Paired with a heavy-duty 3.88-inch modified sheepsfoot blade in Microtech's signature distressed Apocalyptic finish, this build creates a rugged, non-reflective tool that naturally masks scuffs and pocket wear from hard daily use.
Built for aggressive cutting performance, its blade is forged from high-performance Böhler M390MK stainless steel with a full serrated edge designed to slice effortlessly through heavy rope, nylon straps, webbing, and fibrous materials without binding. Driven by Microtech’s signature X-Button RAM-LOK crossbar mechanism and equipped with an elongated blade slot cutout, it provides smooth, fully ambidextrous deployment and vault-like lockup for demanding tasks.
