This knife is a good deal at $175 or so. Frankly, I love FRN! It is light, essentially indestructible, and cheap. My main priorities are a well designed blade made of good steel on a well constructed knife that will last. The cheaper this can be done, the better.
USA made with great steel for the price makes it a definite winner. Love the blade shape and have no problem with the FRN scales. Thanks for sharing Wayne!
Couldn't agree more!
Just got mine the other day, and I'm very impressed with the quality and feel of the frn handle!
Excellent overall, centering, action, and premium feel for plastic as I'd expect from Microtech. They blow away every other brand that attaches premium steel with plastic handles that I own. The Spyderco Rex45 Manix 2 lightweight with it's frn handle and similar lock, simply just can't compete with fit and finish, feel and lock action/ease.
@TheScotchaholic the only bad thing about this knife is its my first microtech, and it makes me want more microtech😂
I thought the handle was surprisingly sturdy also. And for the price Microtech tax and all $175 is pretty reasonable taking everything into consideration.
👌🏼👊🏼
I have one. The inside edges of the liners need a little de-burring with a scraper. Easy.
I normally dont buy knives with injection molded scales they tend to feel cheap, just my prsonal opinion, but i just got my MSI the other day and i like it, it feels much more solid than other LW scales and i was totally ok with the price especially once i had it in hand, if it was Benchmade they'd want $350 for it
I think you’re giving BM to much credit. They would probably ask more than that $$ LoL
I’m the same way. I usually hate FRN.
Thanks for the review. Looking forward to the sequel.
Glad you enjoyed it! 👊🏼
Much more reasonable price. Still looks awesome.
You did better than Joe with a cold!
I think this is one of the best values out there right now.
After being sold out for months, i finally got one. BUT , i ordered plain edge, but received a partially serrated one...i didn't complain...because its still a great knife, at a great price
Good to know! I actually don't hate Spyderco's FRN, so if this is better than that I should be good to go. Suggestion: to get rid of the sharp edges on the inside part of the scales, just take a small piece of sandpaper -- something like a 1x1" square, somewhere in the 300-800 grit range, and run it up and down those edges to create a small chamfer. Even a tiny bit makes a big difference.
FRN...takes a fall better than most materials..imo
I love mine. There are several companies that make aluminum, titanium etc scales you can replace the frn with if you wanted to
Good looking knife, never had any issue with FRN except for some jacked finishing on some of the Kershaw and CRKT budget knives. Good review. Thanks
As long as the FRN has s.s. liners, I’m good with it. I’m sure it will take all the hard use 99% of owners put it through. I’ll surely be getting one of these when the time is right
I'm glad 'B' did a good job.
I'll let him know.
I think the tri-point pattern on the handle looks much better than the standard g10 or the frag model
I’ve been waiting for this video. Thank you! These are very hard to find right now. I finally found some Friday night but couldn’t find any reviews on this knife with the FRN handles so I held off and bought something else. Hopefully when I have the money to buy another expensive knife these will still be available for $175. Thanks again!!
Glad it helped, bro! 👊🏼
@@WaynesSharpWorld Also, I never thanked you on the video because it was older and I didn’t think you’d see it, but I used your method on forced shipwreck patina on copper scales, it worked great!! Love it. Thanks man.
I love my G-10 MSI. Winner in my book
I just got mine. Lock stick is pretty bad. Hoping it works itself out
Just wish the blade was a bit shorter. Hopefully they make a smaller version.
I just watched another video review of the Microtech MSI where there was a gap ( like yours ) forward of the crossbar lock buttons. When the knife was disassembled it was found that the crossbar lock did not travel far enough to secure the blade. In fact, the lock failed and the reviewer suffered a bloody injury..!!
Can you specify the reviewer and video? I’d like to watch it.
I second that, that’s an important video if it’s up
I’ve copied & pasted that video’s “share” link to here twice.
I absolutely luv, both, of mine. I bought mine, with Polymer Handles, because Original Goat plans on making Titanium Handle Scales for them. And, that, to me, will perfect this Model. I absolutely luv them. And, after having and using them, I must admit, the Polymer MSI has grown on me. I actually, really like it. It's light and easy to SDUEDC. I still want to make one of mine Titanium. But, I will kep the one I've been carrying Polymer. These are great Folders that I would recommend to all that absolutely luv Cross-Bar Lock Types. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Hope all is well, Stiletto! 👊🏼
I’m sure someone have some cool scales soon
Do you think you could weld a chunk on to the back of the ram lock to add a "spine lock"
The quality of this verse , the benchmate frn isnt close.
I normally do not like FRN, G10 has been good to me , but these are made well very sturdy
I still can’t believe how much I love this knife lol
Well under $200 I think this will be my first Microtech!
You can smooth out the handle with a rough cloth changes the feel of the knife for the better your welcome ❤
👌🏼👊🏼
Love your channel!hope you are enjoying the MSI as much as I am, such a fun fidget toy, the detent is so nice you can reverse flick it open without the hole lol
Wow, that price is much better than I was expecting. I'm interested.
They're hard to find atm. I got lucky yesterday and found one. Check southern edges if you haven't found one yet.
I hope I like mine. Paid $250 G10 frag with apocalyptic blade. I would have got FRN but didn’t have in stock at the time. Great video.
Thanks bro! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine!
This knife is competing in the same price bracket as the BENCHMADE BUGOUT. Say that back to yourself and make it make sense. Microtech and reasonably priced were not not things I expected to use in a sentence together but I'm going to do it. I think this knife is reasonably priced.
I'm glad I caught this Vid I just bought this quickly knowing how fast they go thinking it was the G-10 and then thought that's pretty cheap and noticed why. I was going to call and cancel the order but after watching this I think I'll just keep it. Thanks
Glad it helped, bro. 👊🏼
Awesome review! Bought two of these polymer MSI's and they are great knives. Can't wait for aftermarket scales to arrive for these knives. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like them!
Ooh. I like that one.
I also picked up a different civivi sentinel strike a couple weeks ago and I'm very happy with it. I mean, it's illegal to carry in my state so it's a glorified letter/package opener.
Funny thing about it was trying to find a super comfy hold position with it and didn't find it till holding it tactically.
Very happy with that purchase.
✌🏽🤘🏼
Nice! 👊🏼🙌🏼
Thats NOT FRN. FRN is fiberglass reinforced nylon. The MSI is polymer which I think is stronger than FRN. FRN feels cheep, the polymor on the Microtech MSI feels solid. Please anyone correct me if im wrong but I think FRN is only made from Spyderco.
Thanks for the review. You sold me giving them my money
You won’t regret it! 🙌🏼🔥
@@WaynesSharpWorld No doubt :o)
Dlt and knife center was sold out so I found one on BHQ. I reckon I got the last one they had since now they are sold out.
I had the c Wayne . Pressure in the face real bad . Sounds like you got it too . Takes 2-3 weeks
Funny, I had a Microtech inspected by "B" as well and it had to go back the same day to Microtech because of obvious issues that "B" missed. Spending $500 on a knife shouldn't have issues in QA. 🤠👍
Same here. F "B." I bet he was a DEI diversity hire. I sent mine back and got a replacement inspected by "J" and it's excellent.
Head to head MSI vs AD20.5 what do you think?
MSI. I’m not a big fan of the 20.5. It’s just ok for me.
Why didn't they do a hollow grind?
🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
if the action was a bit snappier i might consider one
Tbh comparing any knife to Spyderco ergos isnt fair
I think microtech made this knife for the run of the mill knife modder. They know people are going to customize these RAM lock knives and i think the FRN scales versions are the home runs. Aftermarket scales will be available soon enough for these and it's going to be an awesome thing.
🤘🏼🔥
Exactly why I went for the FRN model.
Thanks for the info, helpful in making my decision. That's the weirdest finger flick I have ever seen.
Glad I could help!
It fails spectacularly in spine whacks
Clip the fingernails first next time. You got some talons going and its obvious you dont work blue collar.
Also where do you order your scales for your Spyderco knives?
Sharp Dressed Knives
Omg this guy choking up on the grip and the way he holds his index finger when middle finger flicking is driving me crazy.
😏😁
Just got my first MTK MSI S/E Tri-Grip polymer OD Green, HATE THE SCALES! to light and they feel cheap and have no grip. WTF Microtech. No weight in the handle when blade is open, a lot of weight in that blade
Thanks for your thoughts on the FRN MSI. Would getting Tommy Rees back help?😂
God no! Keep him AWAY!!! 😂😂😂
@@WaynesSharpWorld 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I purchased the FRN version and love it. The blade is crazy sharp. I am not 100% convinced that the ram lock is designed for heavy duty use. I have watched videos of blade closing on guy’s hand after taking a blow to the blade. Probably 95% of people use it as a standard pocket knife. The other 5% take it camping and beat the crap out of it. Just my opinion.
The lock instability can be fixed with a little adjustment to the locking surface of the blade. Takes a diamond plate to take off material though.
What was the knife you used to open the box with?
Civivi Sentinal Strike
Do you know if this is the standard finish blade, or the Microtech apocalyptic stonewash finish version? I’m having difficulty telling them apart, thanks!
I’m almost positive this is the standard SW finish. Not apocalyptic.
@@WaynesSharpWorld I’ve been looking around more and I think you’re right, thanks! Both look great.
I can't ever find one in stock with a non serrated blade 😢
Keep searching, you’ll find one! They’re getting easier to acquire.
Just picked one up last night @ EKnives good luck!
Love the look of these however weak detent and mediocre heat treat has kept me away
Anyone know the blade steel?
M390MK
@WaynesSharpWorld is this like regular m390 or does the mk mean something?
@@nomad2772he talks about ALL of this in the video.
Personally I’d like to see carbon fiber or titanium for more money. They’re going the wrong way. We want nicer not cheaper. Some of us anyways
How about taking some of that icky hair off the back of your hand?
Anybody ever tell you that you open knives in a very feminine way 😂
💁🏻♂️
FRN is great, if you want to compromise on materials. Cheap and gross.
So, is this FRN basically glock, sig, springfield polymer they use in their plastic guns?
That, I don’t know.
It's a really nice looking knife. However, $175 for FRNand M390MK is insane. And $250 for the G10 model is even more ridiculous!!! No thanks!!!
Insane? Well, since no one has that steel or innovative lock, $175 is super reasonable. Start pricing Spyderco’s or ZT’s and especially Benchmade and see how the price compares. Benchmade wants $180 for a rubber handle Redoubt model in D2. For a USA made blade $175 is a great deal.
