Microtech MSI Ram-Lok Mini S/E Tan Fluted Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione – a compact folding knife with a fluted handle

The Microtech MSI Ram-Lok Mini S/E Tan Fluted Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK folding knife by Tony Marfione (210M-10FLTA) is a compact folding knife featuring a Modified Sheepsfoot blade made of Böhler M390MK steel, a RAM-LOK® lock, and a Tan-colored 6061-T6 aluminum handle. The fluted finish improves grip, while the stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued, utilitarian look.

Thumb studs on both sides allow for comfortable opening of the knife with either the right or left hand. A ball-bearing pivot ensures smooth blade operation, while the reversible deep-carry clip allows for tip-up carry on either side of the handle.

Böhler M390MK and Flat Grind

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel, which offers high corrosion resistance and good edge retention. The Flat grind promotes effective cutting and maintains the stability of the wide blade.

Modified Sheepsfoot and Stonewashed

The Modified Sheepsfoot profile features a lowered tip and a long section of Plain Edge. The geometry supports precise and controlled cutting, while the Stonewashed finish helps mask some of the minor signs of everyday use.

Tan Fluted Aluminum and RAM-LOK®

The handle is made of 6061-T6 aluminum in Tan. The milled Fluted pattern improves grip, control, and the ergonomics of the handle. The RAM-LOK® lock stabilizes the blade when open and allows for comfortable operation from both sides of the handle.
