Microtech Star Lord Sub-Frame Lock Bar Folding Knife Partially Serrated Bead Blast/Tan MT1928TA

The Microtech Star Lord Sub-Frame Lock Bar Folding Knife brings serious strength and refined machining together in a proven, high-performance platform. Built for demanding use, it balances robust construction with smooth operation and confident ergonomics. At 5.25" closed and weighing 8.65 ounces, it carries with substance while remaining practical for everyday deployment.

The 3.75" partially serrated drop point recurve blade is made from M390MK premium steel, delivering outstanding edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion performance. The bead-blasted finish provides a clean, muted surface that cuts glare and reinforces the knife’s hard-use character. The recurve geometry enhances slicing efficiency, while the serrated edge section adds aggressive cutting power for tougher materials like cord, webbing, and heavy packaging. It’s a versatile blade profile built to perform across a wide range of tasks.

This model is a manual folder equipped with a blade flipper for quick, controlled opening. The action is supported by a sturdy sub-frame lock bar, engineered for dependable lockup and long-term durability. The lock design adds structural strength while maintaining smooth operation, giving you confidence every time the blade is deployed.

The tan anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a durable, lightweight foundation with a clean, tactical appearance. The anodized finish enhances wear resistance, and the contoured design ensures a secure, comfortable grip. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for flexible carry options, keeping the knife positioned for fast access in either pocket configuration.

Designed by Sean Marfione of Marfione Custom Knives, this model is based on his original legendary design and proudly made in the USA, reflecting precision craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout.
