Microtech MSI Ram-Lok Mini S/E Marfione Select Slab Side Carbon Fiber, Stonewashed M390MK by Tony Marfione – a compact folding knife with bronze accents

The Microtech MSI Ram-Lok Mini S/E Marfione Select Slab Side Carbon Fiber, Stonewashed M390MK folding knife by Tony Marfione (210M-10MS8) is a compact folding knife from the Marfione Select line, featuring a Modified Sheepsfoot blade made of Böhler M390MK steel and a lightweight Slab Side carbon fiber handle. The brown backspacer emphasizes the collectible nature of this variant, while the Stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued, utilitarian look.

Thumb studs on both sides allow for comfortable opening with either the right or left hand. Ball bearings ensure smooth blade movement, the RAM-LOK® lock provides ambidextrous 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, developed specifically for Microtech knives. The material offers high corrosion resistance, good edge retention, and properties suitable for a regularly used EDC folder. The Flat grind promotes effective and controlled cutting.

Modified Sheepsfoot and Stonewashed

The Modified Sheepsfoot profile combines a lowered tip with a long section of smooth Plain Edge. The geometry promotes precise blade control, and the Stonewashed finish helps minimize the appearance of fine scratches and scuffs.

Slab Side Carbon Fiber and RAM-LOK®

The handle is made of carbon fiber in a Slab Side configuration. This material helps reduce the knife’s weight while maintaining the structure’s rigidity and distinctive appearance. The brown accents on the titanium backspacer complement the Marfione Select’s design, while the RAM-LOK® stabilizes the blade when fully opened.

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 may apply a thin layer of preservative.

How do you sharpen a Modified Sheepsfoot blade?

Sharpen the edge at a constant angle, guiding the tool along the blade’s factory profile. Near the lowered tip, reduce pressure to preserve the profile’s geometry.

How does the RAM-LOK® lock work?

RAM-LOK® uses a transversely sliding element that stabilizes the blade in the open position. The mechanism can be operated from both sides of the handle.

How do you clean a carbon fiber handle?

It is best to wipe the handle with a soft, slightly damp cloth. You can use a soft brush to remove dirt from edges and recesses, but avoid harsh abrasives.

How to maintain a ball-bearing pivot?

The area around the pivot 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.
