The Microtech Star Lord Sub-Frame Lock Bar Folding Knife in black ceramic with olive drab green handles delivers serious cutting performance in a refined, hard-use design. Built with premium materials and tight tolerances, it offers strength, balance, and dependable operation in a substantial platform that’s ready for demanding tasks. At 5.25" closed and weighing 8.65 ounces, it carries with authority while remaining practical for everyday deployment.
The 3.75" partially serrated drop point recurve blade is crafted from M390MK premium steel, known for outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black ceramic-coated finish enhances durability and provides a deep, low-reflective surface that resists wear. The combination of the drop point profile and recurve geometry delivers versatile cutting control, while the serrated section adds extra bite for fibrous materials like rope, strap, and heavy packaging. It’s a blade built for real-world versatility.
This is a manual folder equipped with a blade flipper for fast, confident opening. The action is supported by a robust sub-frame lock bar engineered to provide secure lockup and long-term structural integrity. The locking system reinforces strength throughout the design, ensuring the blade stays firmly engaged during heavy use while maintaining smooth and consistent operation.
The olive drab green anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide lightweight durability with a tactical, field-ready appearance. The anodized finish improves resistance to wear, and the contoured shape promotes a secure, comfortable grip. The deep green tone pairs cleanly with the black ceramic blade, creating a cohesive and rugged aesthetic. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for flexible carry, keeping the knife positioned for quick access from either side.
