The Microtech MSI S/E Apocalyptic Part Serrated Folding Knife is built to handle demanding environments with precision and strength. As the latest addition to Microtech’s lineup of manual folders, the MSI—short for Microtech Standard Issue—delivers tactical performance in a clean, modern form. Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Microtech’s dedication to quality craftsmanship and functional design.
At the heart of the MSI is a 3.88-inch blade made from premium M390MK steel, a high-performance stainless alloy created exclusively for Microtech. This steel offers outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for both daily cutting tasks and high-pressure field use. The blade features a partial serration for enhanced utility when cutting through rope, webbing, or dense materials, and it wears a rugged apocalyptic finish that masks wear and adds a distinctive, battle-worn character.
The knife’s ergonomic handle is crafted from fluted tan aluminum, machined with precision and reinforced with hardened steel liner plates for exceptional strength. The contoured shape provides a confident grip in all conditions, and its striking tan finish sets it apart from more conventional designs. The RAM-LOK bar lock mechanism—Microtech’s proprietary ambidextrous locking system—is secure, fast, and easy to operate with either hand. Dual X Buttons on both sides further enhance its accessibility and intuitive feel.
A titanium backspacer adds structural integrity while maintaining a low profile. Designed with versatility in mind, the MSI comes equipped with a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, making it fully compatible with both right- and left-hand carry. With an overall length of 8.93 inches and weighing just 5.0 ounces, the MSI offers a strong, balanced feel without excess bulk.
This knife isn’t just a tool—it’s a purpose-built piece of gear designed for real-world use. Whether you’re in the field, on the job, or building out your everyday carry setup, the Microtech MSI delivers uncompromising performance, intuitive control, and bold aesthetics backed by American manufacturing.
