Full-size MSI. Machined aluminum. A configuration that stands out.
The Microtech MSI Ram-Lok is one of Microtech’s most capable manual folders, built around a broad 3.75" M390MK sheepsfoot blade and the ambidextrous Ram-Lok system.
This version steps up from the polymer MSI with a red fluted aluminum handle and two-tone blade finish. The aluminum construction gives the knife a more substantial, premium feel in hand, while the machined fluting adds texture without taking away from the clean lines of the MSI.
And that red is hard to miss.

Full-Size MSI
The MSI is not trying to disappear in your hand.
With a 3.75" blade and 5" closed length, this is a substantial manual folder with plenty of handle and cutting edge for real work.
The broad sheepsfoot blade gives the MSI its distinctive profile while providing a lot of usable edge for everyday cutting.
Two-Tone M390MK
Microtech pairs the MSI platform with Bohler M390MK, the steel that has become a major part of the company’s current lineup.
This configuration receives a two-tone blade finish, adding contrast across the blade and giving it a more premium appearance than the standard stonewashed configurations.
M390MK offers the kind of combination we want in an everyday stainless steel:
• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Strong edge retention
• Premium performance for daily use
Red Fluted Aluminum
This is where this MSI really separates itself from the standard polymer versions.
The handle is machined from aluminum with a fluted texture, giving the knife additional traction and a completely different feel in hand.
The bright red finish also makes this one unmistakable. If your knife collection already has enough black, gray, and OD green, this fixes that problem pretty quickly.
Ram-Lok
Microtech’s Ram-Lok turns the MSI into a fully manual platform while keeping operation intuitive and easy to manipulate.
Combined with the thumb pull, it gives the MSI quick one-handed deployment and a locking system that has become an important part of Microtech’s growing manual-folder lineup.
Made in the USA
The MSI is made in the United States by Microtech.
That is a big part of why we carry knives like this at Lone Star Knife & Supply. American knife manufacturing is still capable of producing premium materials, advanced machining, and genuinely interesting designs right here at home.
We want to see more of that, and supporting the companies doing it today is how we get it.
Why This One Stands Out
The polymer MSI offers tremendous value, but this version is for someone who wants the platform taken up a notch.
You’re getting the full-size 3.75" MSI, M390MK, a two-tone blade, Ram-Lok, and a machined fluted aluminum handle, all made in the USA.
