Microtech MSI S/E Dark Earth USA Flag Tri-Grip Polymer, Apocalyptic M390MK by Tony Marfione – full-size folder with RAM-LOK®

Microtech MSI 210T-10APPMDEFLAG is a full-size folding knife designed by Tony Marfione, featuring a Wharncliffe blade made of Böhler M390MK steel, a RAM-LOK® lock, and an injection-molded polymer handle with steel liners. The Dark Earth variant stands out with its USA Flag motif and Apocalyptic utility finish, creating a distinctive configuration with a pronounced technical character.

The large blade and full-size handle make the MSI well-suited for both everyday and more demanding utility tasks. Thumb-hole opening, ball bearings, and a double-sided RAM-LOK® lock ensure smooth and intuitive operation, while the reversible deep-carry clip allows you to adjust the carry style for either right- or left-handed use.

Böhler M390MK – steel developed for Microtech

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK steel, a special grade of M390 developed for Microtech in collaboration with Böhler. The material offers high corrosion resistance and excellent edge retention, making it well-suited for a folding knife intended for regular use. Combined with a flat grind, it creates an efficient cutting geometry for cardboard, cords, tape, and other everyday materials.

Wharncliffe and Flat Grind

The Wharncliffe profile offers a long, nearly straight cutting edge and a well-controlled tip. This geometry allows you to effectively utilize the full length of the blade when cutting along a flat surface and works well for making precise initial cuts. The flat grind supports smooth blade guidance and reduces resistance during use.

Apocalyptic – Microtech’s signature finish

The blade surface features the Apocalyptic finish, which gives it a matte, intentionally irregular appearance. This texture effectively masks minor signs of everyday wear and complements the Dark Earth camouflage color scheme, emphasizing the utilitarian nature of the entire design.

Dark Earth USA Flag Tri-Grip Polymer

The handle is made of injection-molded polymer with steel liners. The Tri-Grip profile provides a distinct texture that improves grip stability, while the USA Flag motif gives this variant a distinctive character. The steel liners reinforce the construction and provide solid support for the locking mechanism and the blade pivot.

RAM-LOK®, Ball Bearings, and deep-carry

RAM-LOK® is Microtech’s double-sided transverse lock, allowing for convenient blade release from either side of the handle. The pivot operates on ball bearings, and the large thumb hole ensures easy manual opening. The steel deep-carry clip can be mounted on the right or left side in a tip-up configuration.
