Built with Microtech’s legendary craftsmanship, the MSI features cutting-edge materials and proprietary engineering that make it an ideal choice for both professional operators and serious everyday carriers. Microtech MSI 

Blade Design & Steel
At the heart of the MSI is its robust blade crafted from Böhler M390MK — a high-end, corrosion-resistant steel formulated exclusively for Microtech. Known for its incredible edge retention and hardness, M390MK ensures the MSI performs exceptionally well under pressure.

Blade Length: Approx. 3.8″
Blade Style: Available in drop point, sheepsfoot, or reverse tanto configurations
Edge Options: Plain, partially serrated, or full serrated
Finish: Stonewash, apocalyptic, DLC, and two-tone variants
Grind: Flat grind for maximum slicing efficiency
Whether you’re opening boxes, cutting rope, or performing detailed field tasks, the MSI’s blade delivers razor-sharp precision with confidence.

 
Innovative Locking Mechanism – RAM-LOK™
The MSI features Microtech’s proprietary RAM-LOK™ crossbar lock — a rugged and ambidextrous system designed for rapid deployment and secure blade lockup. Paired with dual thumb studs and the signature “X” button actuator, the RAM-LOK offers a smooth, snappy manual action that feels intuitive and controlled.

 
Handle Construction & Ergonomics
Engineered for hard use, the MSI’s handle is built with G-10, carbon fiber, or injection-molded polymer scales over steel liners, offering exceptional grip and durability. Aggressive texturing ensures slip-resistant performance even in wet or gloved conditions, while chamfered edges and sculpted contours make it comfortable to hold during prolonged use.

Overall Length: ~8.9″
Weight: 4.7–5.1 oz (varies by material)
Backspacer: Machined titanium
