The Microtech Star Lord Sub-Frame Lock Bar Folding Knife in black ceramic with tan handles delivers a commanding blend of strength, precision, and refined styling. Built from premium materials and engineered with tight tolerances, it offers dependable performance in a robust, well-balanced platform. At 5.25" closed and weighing 8.65 ounces, it carries with substantial presence while still fitting comfortably into everyday rotation.
The 3.75" partially serrated drop point recurve blade is crafted from M390MK premium steel, a high-performance alloy known for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The black ceramic-coated finish enhances durability and provides a deep, low-glare surface that stands up to wear. The drop point geometry offers a strong, versatile tip for controlled tasks, while the recurve edge increases slicing efficiency. The serrated section adds extra cutting power for rope, strap, and other fibrous materials, giving the blade expanded utility in demanding situations.
This manual folder features a blade flipper for quick, confident deployment. A super sturdy sub-frame lock bar supports the action, delivering secure lockup and long-term structural integrity. The locking system reinforces overall strength while maintaining smooth, consistent operation, ensuring the blade remains firmly engaged during heavy use.
Tan anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide lightweight durability with a clean, tactical appearance. The anodized finish enhances wear resistance, and the contoured design promotes a secure, comfortable grip. The neutral tan tone pairs seamlessly with the black ceramic blade, creating a balanced, hard-use aesthetic. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip offers versatile carry options, keeping the knife positioned for quick access from either side.
