Microtech MSI Ram-Lok Mini S/E Merlot Fluted Aluminum, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione – a premium compact folding knife

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

Thumb studs on both sides allow for comfortable manual opening, and ball bearings ensure smooth pivot operation. The deep-set clip can be moved to the right or left side of the handle while maintaining the tip-up position.

Böhler M390MK and flat grind

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel, which ensures high corrosion resistance and good edge retention. The Flat grind supports effective cutting and the stable geometry of the wide blade.

Modified Sheepsfoot and Stonewashed

The Modified Sheepsfoot profile combines a lowered tip with a long section of smooth Plain Edge. This geometry works well for controlled cutting tasks, and the Stonewashed finish helps minimize the appearance of fine scratches and scuffs.

Merlot Fluted Aluminum and RAM-LOK®

The handle is made of 6061-T6 aluminum in Merlot. The Fluted milling increases the number of contact points with the hand, enhancing grip and precise control. The RAM-LOK® lock secures the blade when open and allows for ambidextrous operation.

Technical data

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I care for Böhler M390MK steel?

After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Before long-term storage, you can apply a thin layer of preservative, avoiding excess around the pivot.

How do I sharpen a Modified Sheepsfoot blade?

The edge should be sharpened at a constant angle, in accordance with its factory geometry. Near the lowered tip, reduce the pressure to avoid rounding the tip.

How does the RAM-LOK® lock work?

RAM-LOK® uses a laterally sliding component that stabilizes the open blade. The lock can be operated from either side of the handle.

How do I clean the Merlot Fluted handle?

Clean the handle with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Thoroughly remove dust from the milled grooves, then dry the surface.

How do you maintain the pivot axis?

The area around the axis should be cleaned of fine debris. After cleaning, you can apply a small amount of a light lubricant designed for knife mechanisms.
