Microtech MSI Mini Ram-Lok S/E Fluted Orange Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione – a compact EDC folder

The Microtech MSI Mini Ram-Lok S/E Fluted Orange Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK folding knife by Tony Marfione (210M-10FLOR) is a compact EDC folding knife featuring a Modified Sheepsfoot blade, a double-sided RAM-LOK® lock, and an orange handle made of milled aluminum. The model combines Böhler M390MK steel, a flat grind, a Stonewashed finish, and a smooth-operating ball-bearing pivot.

The MSI Mini retains the character of the full-size MSI but offers smaller dimensions and more comfortable everyday carry. Double-sided thumb studs, a reversible deep-carry clip, and the RAM-LOK® lock allow for comfortable operation with either the right or left hand.

Böhler M390MK – Durable Steel for Everyday Use

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel, developed specifically for Microtech knives. The material provides high corrosion resistance, good edge retention, and properties suitable for regular use of an EDC folder.

Modified Sheepsfoot, Plain Edge, and Stonewashed

The Modified Sheepsfoot profile offers a long cutting edge, a controlled tip, and a geometry well-suited for opening packages and everyday cutting tasks. The smooth Plain Edge and flat grind ensure smooth blade guidance, while the Stonewashed finish minimizes the appearance of fine scratches and scuffs.

Fluted Aluminum, RAM-LOK®, and Steel Liners

The orange aluminum handle features a longitudinal Fluted Pattern milling that improves grip, control, and ergonomic comfort. Internal steel liners reinforce the construction, and the double-sided RAM-LOK® lock stabilizes the blade when open. The ball-bearing pivot ensures smooth operation when opening with the thumb studs.

Technical Data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?

After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Despite its high corrosion resistance, do not allow moisture, salt, or corrosive substances to remain on it. Before long-term storage, you can apply a thin layer of preservative.

How to sharpen a Modified Sheepsfoot blade?

Guide the edge evenly while maintaining a consistent sharpening angle. Near the tip, reduce pressure and follow the blade’s geometry to avoid rounding the tip or altering the blade’s functional profile.

How does the RAM-LOK® lock work?

RAM-LOK® uses a transversely sliding locking element that stabilizes the blade when open. The mechanism can be operated from both sides of the handle, making it easy to use the knife with either your right or left hand.

How do I care for the Fluted aluminum handle?

Clean the longitudinal grooves with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Dust and dirt can accumulate in the grooves, so be sure to dry the handle thoroughly after cleaning.

How do you clean a ball-bearing axle?

Protect the area around the axle from sand and fine debris. After cleaning, apply a small amount of a light lubricant designed for knives, avoiding excess that attracts dust.
