CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Standard Issue (MSI) Folding Knife is built for those who demand rugged performance in the field. Engineered with precision and durability, it features a partially serrated 3.88-inch Bohler M390MK steel Sheepsfoot blade with a resilient stonewash finish. This premium blade material is highly regarded for edge retention and resistance to wear, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry or tactical use. Measuring 5.06 inches closed and weighing 5.08 ounces, this folding knife is lightweight yet solid, perfectly balanced for practical use without sacrificing strength or stability.
A standout feature of the MSI is Microtech’s innovative RAM-LOK crossbar opening and locking system. This spring-assisted mechanism is designed for quick, reliable blade deployment. With a simple press and a flick of the wrist, the RAM-LOK snaps the blade into action, ready to tackle tasks on demand. Microtech’s unique approach to the crossbar lock brings an added level of security and ease of use, making this knife well-suited for gloved or bare-handed operation. The design includes Microtech's signature step pattern, seen in the actuation switches on their popular Ultratech series, offering both a distinct look and enhanced functionality.
The tan G-10 handle with a frag pattern ensures a firm, non-slip grip, even in challenging conditions. This knife is designed for versatility, with stainless steel Torx hardware, a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, and an oversized lanyard hole, making it adaptable for different carrying styles. Microtech pays attention to every detail, from the durable materials to the flawless finishing touches, delivering a knife that’s as reliable as it is rugged.
The blade’s large cutout allows for various opening methods, providing flexibility in deployment. Use the cutout for reverse middle finger flicks or standard thumb rolls. Or, if you prefer, simply pull down on the RAM-LOK and engage the blade with a quick wrist flick. This versatility makes the MSI a top choice for those who appreciate having multiple options in a knife designed for real-world use.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech MSI Folding Knife combines American craftsmanship with cutting-edge design, setting a new standard for folding knives built to last and perform.
