The Microtech Star Lord Sub-Frame Lock Bar Folding Knife in stonewash and black is built for serious performance with a rugged, no-nonsense aesthetic. It combines premium materials, precise machining, and a proven locking system in a substantial platform that feels solid and confident in hand. Measuring 5.25" closed and weighing 8.65 ounces, it delivers the heft and balance expected from a high-end production folder while remaining practical for everyday carry.
The 3.75" partially serrated drop point recurve blade is crafted from M390MK premium steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The durable stonewash finish gives the blade a hard-use appearance that helps conceal wear, scratches, and fingerprints over time. The drop point profile provides a strong, versatile tip for controlled cutting tasks, while the recurve edge enhances slicing efficiency. The serrated section adds extra cutting power for rope, strap, and other fibrous materials, expanding the knife’s utility across a wide range of applications.
This model is a manual folder equipped with a blade flipper for fast, confident deployment. The action is supported by a robust sub-frame lock bar designed for secure lockup and long-term durability. The locking mechanism reinforces structural integrity, ensuring the blade remains firmly engaged during demanding use while maintaining smooth, consistent operation.
Black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide lightweight strength and a clean, tactical look. The anodized finish improves wear resistance, and the contoured design supports a secure, comfortable grip during extended tasks. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip offers flexible carry options, keeping the knife positioned for quick access on either side.
