The Microtech Star Lord Sub-Frame Lock Bar Folding Knife in black ceramic delivers a bold, purpose-driven design backed by premium materials and precision machining. Built for serious performance, it offers substantial strength in a refined platform that feels secure and balanced in hand. At 5.25" closed and weighing 8.65 ounces, it carries with authority while remaining practical for everyday deployment.
The 3.75" drop point recurve blade is crafted from M390MK premium steel, known for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black ceramic-coated finish enhances durability and provides a deep, uniform appearance that resists wear while reducing glare. The drop point profile offers a strong, versatile tip for controlled tasks, and the recurve geometry improves slicing efficiency, giving the blade added cutting power across a wide range of materials.
This is a manual folder equipped with a blade flipper for fast, reliable opening. The action is supported by a robust sub-frame lock bar engineered to provide secure lockup and long-term durability. The lock mechanism reinforces structural integrity, ensuring the blade remains firmly in place during demanding use while maintaining smooth and consistent operation.
Black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles complete the design with lightweight strength and a clean, tactical aesthetic. The anodized finish improves resistance to wear, and the contoured shape promotes a secure, comfortable grip. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for versatile carry options, keeping the knife positioned for quick access from either side.
