Microtech MSI Mini RAM-LOK S/E Natural Clear Fluted Aluminum, Black Böhler M390MK by Tony Marfione – a compact folder with a two-handed lock

Microtech MSI Mini RAM-LOK S/E Natural Clear Fluted Aluminum, Black Böhler M390MK by Tony Marfione (210M-1FLNC) is a premium-class compact folding knife featuring a Modified Sheepsfoot blade, a RAM-LOK™ lock, and aluminum grips with a fluted pattern. The bright Natural Clear finish contrasts with the black blade and highlights the technical nature of the design.

The dual thumb stud and lock, accessible from both sides of the handle, facilitate use with either the right or left hand. The reversible deep-carry tip-up clip allows the knife to be carried deep in a pocket, and the MSI Mini’s compact dimensions make it ideal for everyday use.

Böhler M390MK – Powder Steel with High Service Resistance

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK steel with a hardness of 61–62 HRC. This material is characterized by high wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. It performs well when cutting cardboard, ropes, straps, plastics, and other everyday materials.

S/E Modified Sheepsfoot, Flat, and Black

The S/E Modified Sheepsfoot profile combines an elongated cutting edge with a lowered, well-controlled tip. The Flat grind facilitates smooth blade guidance through the material, while the black blade finish creates a striking contrast with the light-colored handle.

Natural Clear Fluted Aluminum and RAM-LOK™

The grips are made of 6061-T6 aluminum. The longitudinal Fluted pattern is milled directly into their surface, improving grip and giving the handle its distinctive geometry. The Natural Clear finish preserves the bright, metallic appearance of the aluminum.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for and sharpen Böhler M390MK steel?

After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Due to the steel’s high abrasion resistance, it is best to use diamond stones, CBN systems, or a precision guide system.

How does the RAM-LOK™ lock work?

RAM-LOK™ uses a transverse element that moves within the Handle guides. When opened, it locks the blade in place, and access from both sides allows for comfortable operation with either the right or left hand.

What makes the Modified Sheepsfoot profile unique?

The Modified Sheepsfoot offers a long, functional cutting edge and a lowered tip that makes it easier to control cutting depth. The modified geometry also allows for precise work with the tip.

Is the Fluted pattern applied to the handle?

No. The longitudinal Fluted pattern is milled directly into the surface of the aluminum grips. It is an integral part of the handle and improves its grip.

What does the “deep carry tip-up” clip mean?

Deep carry allows you to carry most of the knife inside your pocket. The tip-up configuration means that when the knife is closed, the tip of the blade points upward. The clip can be moved to the right or left side.
