High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Standard Issue (MSI) Folding Knife delivers uncompromising performance and precision-engineered reliability in a rugged, everyday carry platform. Designed for those who demand speed, control, and durability, the MSI is the first Microtech model to feature the brand's exclusive RAM-LOK crossbar locking mechanism. This spring-assisted system offers lightning-fast deployment with a press of the thumb and a flick of the wrist, while also supporting reverse flick or slow-roll openings thanks to a generous blade cutout, making it equally effective whether you're barehanded or wearing gloves.
The 3.88-inch Sheepsfoot blade is crafted from premium Bohler M390MK stainless steel, a high-performance alloy prized for edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. The blade boasts a distinctive two-tone finish with deep blue Cerakote coating and satin flats, striking a balance between visual appeal and operational durability. Whether you're cutting through rope, packaging, or tougher materials, the MSI's blade geometry offers clean slicing and robust tip strength.
The handle is constructed from durable blue injection-molded polymer scales, ergonomically shaped and enhanced with Tri-Grip texturing for a confident grip in all conditions. Stainless steel Torx hardware ensures long-term structural integrity, while the reversible deep-carry pocket clip supports discreet left- or right-hand carry. An oversized lanyard hole rounds out the practical design, giving users multiple carry options based on their needs.
Closed, the MSI measures 5.06 inches and weighs in at 5.08 ounces—solid in hand without being cumbersome. Its balance, build quality, and rapid one-handed deployment make it a standout choice for professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a no-nonsense folding knife built for hard use. Every Microtech MSI is proudly made in the USA, ensuring tight tolerances and superior craftsmanship from a brand trusted by military and law enforcement professionals worldwide.
