The Microtech Star Lord Sub-Frame Lock Bar Folding Knife delivers heavy-duty performance with a refined, purpose-driven design. Built around a 3.75" M390MK premium steel drop point recurve blade, it offers outstanding edge retention, excellent toughness, and impressive corrosion resistance. The stonewash finish adds a rugged, low-reflection surface that helps conceal wear while reinforcing the blade’s hard-use character. It’s a finish that looks right at home in demanding conditions.
The drop point recurve profile provides a versatile cutting edge with enhanced control and slicing power. The subtle curve improves cutting efficiency, while the reinforced tip delivers strength for precision tasks. It’s a blade shape designed to perform across a wide range of applications, balancing utility and durability without compromise.
Deployment is handled by a robust blade flipper, giving the knife fast, confident opening action. The mechanism feels solid and deliberate, reflecting the overall strength of the design. Lockup is secured by a sub-frame lock bar, engineered for exceptional stability and reliability. This locking system reinforces the knife’s structure, creating a strong interface between blade and handle that’s built to handle serious use.
The handles are crafted from black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, offering lightweight strength with a durable finish that resists wear. The anodizing deepens the black tone and enhances surface protection, giving the knife a sleek yet tactical appearance. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip ensures secure, versatile carry, making it comfortable for both right- and left-handed users.
At 5.25" closed and weighing 8.65oz, the Star Lord has a substantial presence in hand. It’s built with authority, delivering the kind of heft and solidity that serious users appreciate.
