Microtech MSI Mini Ram-Lok Knife – 3.25" M390MK Blade, Two-Tone, Orange Fluted Aluminum – Made in USA (210M-1FLOR)

The MSI Mini hits a sweet spot, premium Microtech construction in a size made for everyday carry.

The Microtech MSI Mini Ram-Lok takes the design language of the full-size MSI and brings it into a more compact package. This configuration pairs a 3.25" Bohler M390MK sheepsfoot blade with a two-tone finish and a bright orange fluted aluminum handle.

At 4.25" closed, you still get a substantial amount of blade and handle, but in a package that is considerably easier to work into an everyday rotation.

The MSI, Scaled for EDC

The full-size MSI is a big knife. Its 3.75" blade and substantial handle are part of what makes it so capable, but not everyone wants that much knife in their pocket.

The MSI Mini brings the blade down to 3.25" and the closed length to 4.25", putting the design into a size that makes a lot of sense for everyday carry.

You still get the broad sheepsfoot profile that defines the MSI, just in a more compact package.

Two-Tone M390MK

Microtech uses Bohler M390MK for the blade and gives this configuration a two-tone finish.

M390MK has become a staple throughout Microtech's modern lineup, offering the premium stainless performance you want in a knife intended to see regular carry.

• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Strong edge retention
• Premium everyday performance

The two-tone treatment also highlights the geometry of that broad MSI blade and gives this version a more premium appearance.

Orange Fluted Aluminum

The orange fluted aluminum handle is a big part of what separates this MSI Mini from the more basic configurations.

Instead of molded polymer, you’re getting a machined aluminum handle with fluting that adds both texture and visual detail.

And then there's the color.

Orange isn't subtle, but on an EDC knife that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's easy to spot, hard to lose track of, and gives this MSI Mini a completely different personality from the typical black or earth-tone knife.

Ram-Lok

The Ram-Lok gives the MSI Mini a manual locking system that can be manipulated without putting your fingers directly into the blade path.

Combined with the thumb stud, it makes the MSI Mini easy to operate while retaining the mechanical feel that has made Microtech's Ram-Lok family such an interesting expansion beyond the company's famous automatic knives.

A Premium USA-Made Folder at $309

At a $309 retail price, there's a lot here.

You’re getting:

• Bohler M390MK
• Machined fluted aluminum
• Two-tone blade treatment
• Ram-Lok
• 3.25" EDC-friendly blade
• American manufacturing

That combination makes the MSI Mini particularly interesting for someone looking for a premium USA-made folder without immediately jumping into titanium or much more expensive collector configurations.

Made in the USA

The MSI Mini is made in the USA by Microtech.

For Lone Star Knife & Supply, that's a major part of the appeal. We want to see American manufacturers continue investing in the machinery, people, and engineering required to build knives like this here at home.

Buying American-made knives today helps make sure companies have a reason to keep making them here tomorrow.

Why This One Stands Out

The MSI Mini may be the size a lot of people were waiting for.

You get the recognizable MSI blade, M390MK, Ram-Lok, and Microtech manufacturing in a 3.25" format, then this version adds the premium feel of a fluted aluminum handle and two-tone blade.

And in orange, you're definitely not going to confuse it with somebody else's knife.
