Microtech MSI Ram-Lok Mini S/E Black Fluted Aluminum, Stonewashed P/S M390MK by Tony Marfione – a compact folding knife with a partially serrated blade

The Microtech MSI Ram-Lok Mini S/E Black Fluted Aluminum, Stonewashed P/S M390MK folding knife by Tony Marfione (210M-11FL) is a compact folding knife featuring a Modified Sheepsfoot blade made of Böhler M390MK steel, a partially serrated edge, and a RAM-LOK® lock. The black milled 6061-T6 aluminum handle gives the design a subdued look and provides a secure grip.

Thumb studs on both sides allow for manual opening with either the right or left hand. Ball bearings ensure smooth blade operation, and the reversible deep-carry clip allows the knife to be carried tip-up on either side of the handle.

Böhler M390MK and Flat Grind

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

Modified Sheepsfoot, Partially Serrated, and Stonewashed

The Modified Sheepsfoot profile provides a long cutting edge and a lowered tip. The Partially Serrated edge combines a Plain Edge section for precise cutting with serrations that facilitate working with fibrous materials. The Stonewashed finish helps mask minor signs of wear.

Black Fluted Aluminum and RAM-LOK®

The handle is made of 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in Black. The Fluted milling improves grip, control, and ergonomics, while the RAM-LOK® lock allows for comfortable operation on both sides of the knife.

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, apply a thin layer of preservative, especially after contact with moisture or organic substances.

How do I sharpen a partially serrated blade?

The smooth section of the edge should be sharpened at a consistent angle. The serrations should be re-sharpened one at a time using a sharpening rod or file with a diameter matching their profile, without excessively widening the notches.

How does the RAM-LOK® lock work?

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

How do I clean the black Fluted handle?

The milled grooves can be cleaned with a soft brush and water mixed with a mild detergent. After washing, the handle and mechanism should be thoroughly dried.

How to maintain the ball-bearing axle?

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