Microtech Star Lord Sub-Frame Lock Bar Folding Knife Bead Blast Standard Edge/Tan MT1927TA

The Microtech Star Lord Sub-Frame Lock Bar Folding Knife pairs premium materials with a proven, hard-use design that’s built for strength and precision. It delivers confident performance in a substantial, well-balanced platform that feels solid in hand without sacrificing refinement. At 5.25" closed and weighing 8.65 ounces, it offers dependable heft and controlled handling for serious everyday carry.

The 3.75" drop point recurve blade is crafted from M390MK premium steel, a high-performance alloy recognized for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The bead-blasted finish gives the blade a clean, low-glare surface that complements its rugged construction. The drop point profile provides a strong, versatile tip, while the recurve edge enhances slicing efficiency, helping the blade power through demanding cutting tasks with smooth, controlled action.

This is a manual folder equipped with a blade flipper for quick, responsive deployment. The action is supported by a robust sub-frame lock bar engineered to deliver secure lockup and long-term durability. The lock mechanism reinforces structural integrity, ensuring the blade stays firmly in place during heavy use while maintaining consistent, reliable operation.

The tan anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide lightweight strength with a clean, tactical appearance. The anodized finish enhances wear resistance and durability, while the contoured shape promotes a secure and comfortable grip. The neutral tan tone pairs well with the bead-blasted blade, creating a balanced look that’s understated yet distinctive. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for versatile carry, keeping the knife positioned for quick access on either side.
