Microtech Knives MSI Folding Knife Fluted Tan Al 3.88in Apocalyptic Blade MT21010APFLTA

Built for the Demands of the Real World — Microtech MSI Folding Knife with Apocalyptic Finish

Built for the unexpected and refined for everyday carry, the Microtech MSI (Microtech Standard Issue) stands as a bold evolution in manual folding knives. Whether you're pushing deep into the wilderness or working through a demanding day on the job, this knife brings uncompromising performance and American-made craftsmanship to your side.

At its core is a 3.88-inch Bohler M390MK sheepsfoot blade, specially formulated for Microtech to offer elite edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability under pressure. Finished in a distressed ‘Apocalyptic’ finish, the blade not only looks battle-tested—it’s ready for it. The sheepsfoot profile delivers controlled slicing performance with a blunt tip, making it ideal for utility work, emergency response, and high-stakes environments where precision matters.

The MSI folds into a sleek 5.05-inch closed length, making it compact enough for pocket carry without sacrificing presence or control. Its fluted tan aluminum handle is engineered for grip and strength while keeping the weight at a manageable 5 ounces. Paired with a durable titanium backspacer, the handle offers a confident, ergonomic feel in the hand. The deep-carry, reversible tip-up pocket clip ensures the knife rides low and secure, whether you're right- or left-handed.

Featuring Microtech’s innovative RAM-LOK bar lock system with dual “X” push-button actuators, the MSI delivers smooth ambidextrous deployment and solid lockup you can trust. The bearing pivot assembly ensures a fluid opening every time, while the lanyard hole adds optional customization for field carry setups.

This knife is proudly made in the USA, combining field-ready materials with attention to detail that reflects Microtech’s legacy of precision craftsmanship. It's not just a knife—it’s a workhorse that carries the spirit of the frontier in every line and edge.

For those who demand rugged utility, functional design, and elite performance in a folding platform, the Microtech Standard Issue is the one to carry when failure isn’t an option.
