The Microtech Standard Issue (MSI) is Microtech's latest generation of folding pocket knives. The MSI isn't only for heavy everyday use but was designed to become your all-time favorite folder in any situation where a blade is needed. Like everything Microtech produces, the MSI uses quality materials you can depend on. It comes sharp and stays sharp thanks to its blade material, Microtech's exclusive Bohler M390MK steel, which offers nearly unparalleled edge retention and corrosion resistance. This MSI model boasts injection-molded scales, making for an extremely tough handle that's also easy on the wallet. The MSI is remarkably accessible, user-friendly, and promises to last.
