SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech MSI (Microtech Standard Issue) is a reliable and robust folding knife, designed to meet the demands of professionals and enthusiasts alike. Proudly made in the USA, this knife blends cutting-edge innovation with the durability and performance Microtech is renowned for. Its combination of premium materials, advanced features, and precise engineering makes it a dependable tool for a wide range of tasks.
At the center of the MSI is its 3.88" drop point blade, crafted from premium steel and finished with a black diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. This coating not only provides exceptional wear resistance but also enhances the blade’s stealthy, rugged aesthetic. The edge is razor-sharp and versatile, making it well-suited for slicing, piercing, and general utility tasks. The blade deploys smoothly using Microtech’s RAM-LOK crossbar mechanism, which requires only a press and a flick of the wrist for rapid, one-handed operation.
The handle is made from textured black injection-molded polymer, offering a lightweight yet sturdy grip. The ergonomic design ensures comfort during extended use, while the textured surface provides a secure hold even in challenging conditions. Stainless steel Torx hardware reinforces the construction, ensuring the MSI is built to last. Additional features include an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip for versatile carry options and an oversized lanyard hole for added customization.
At 5.06" closed and weighing 5.08 ounces, the MSI is compact and portable without sacrificing capability. Its substantial feel in hand ensures confidence in every cut, while its thoughtful design highlights Microtech’s commitment to excellence. Whether you’re tackling daily tasks, heading into the field, or adding to a collection, the MSI stands out as a rugged, reliable tool.
