Microtech MSI RAM LOK 3 88 Inch Bohler M390MK Apocalyptic Black Blade Tiger Stripe Camo Polymer Handle 210T 1APPMTSC V4W2 MCT18045 UPC 841768180456
Product Description
The Microtech® Standard Issue (MSI) RAM-LOK Manual Folding Knife (SKU: 210T-1APPMTSC-V4W2 / UPC: 841768180456) brings Tony Marfione's tactical engineering into a rugged, ambidextrous everyday carry and duty platform. Made in the USA, this special Tiger Stripe Camo edition pairs a full-size 3.88-inch modified sheepsfoot blade with Microtech's proprietary RAM-LOK crossbar architecture and Bronzed Apocalyptic hardware accents for smooth, one-handed deployment without automatic knife carry restrictions.
Forged from proprietary Bohler M390MK stainless powder metallurgy steel—formulated exclusively for Microtech with tuned carbon and vanadium levels—the 3.88-inch blade delivers exceptional edge retention, high structural toughness, and superior corrosion resistance. The broad, flat-ground modified sheepsfoot profile features a generous finger choil for choked-up precision cuts and a reinforced tip backed by 0.158-inch stock thickness, finished in Microtech's dark stonewashed Apocalyptic treatment to mask field wear and eliminate reflective glare.
The 5.06-inch handle chassis combines lightweight, high-impact injection-molded polymer scales in a custom Tiger Stripe Camo pattern with Microtech's signature Tri-Grip step texturing and nested stainless steel liners. Caged ball bearings in the pivot ensure rapid, glass-smooth thumb-hole opening, while the heavy-duty RAM-LOK coil-spring crossbar locks the blade with zero play and allows safe, finger-free closure from either side. Bronzed Apocalyptic hardware and a reversible tip-up deep-carry pocket clip complete this hard-use folder.
*Bladesmith Bench Notes & Field Maintenance Guidance:*
Deployment, Carry & Metallurgy Advisory: Manual elongated thumb-hole opener on caged ball bearings with an ambidextrous RAM-LOK coil-spring crossbar lock; reversible tip-up deep-carry pocket clip. Bohler M390MK is a high-vanadium carbide stainless super-steel—use diamond or CBN sharpening stones at 18–20 degrees per side rather than standard aluminum oxide stones to prevent carbide tear-out. Keep the RAM-LOK crossbar track and caged bearings dry or sparingly oiled with ultra-light synthetic pivot lubricant so pocket lint does not accumulate in the lock channel.
- Verify the blade path and work area are completely clear of obstructions, keeping fingers clear of the blade track and RAM-LOK crossbar path during initial inspection.
- Actuate the thumb hole and retract the ambidextrous RAM-LOK crossbar sliders several times to check bearing smoothness and confirm crisp lock bar engagement.
- To reverse the Bronzed Apocalyptic deep-carry pocket clip for left-hand tip-up carry, firmly seat a precision Torx driver into the clip fasteners, swap the clip to the opposite scale, and apply a tiny drop of removable blue threadlocker.
- Apply a single micro-drop of light synthetic bearing oil at the pivot raceways and wipe the Apocalyptic M390MK blade clean with a dry microfiber cloth after wet or dusty field use.
- Perform a final lockup verification by checking for zero vertical or horizontal blade play when locked open, verifying centered blade alignment when closed, and staging safely in the pocket.
