I just received my second, first was the black and now I have the Natural Clear, in my opinion, this is one the best $300 knives available today. My first was the same as yours - it broke in beautifully and it’s just phenomenal.

Ya it broke in nice. And I agree for the money it’s hard to beat. The construction just feels so good on these aluminum knives. Microtech really nailed it

That tip would definitely be one of those knives I would have to be extremely careful with. If they ever made a framelock version they would not be able to keep up with the demand. Hope you enjoy it
@ScotchNThings8 ай бұрын
Ya it’s just one of those knives that I always thought was cool. Ya if they made an affordable frame lock and not the 5k custom ones it would be huge

I've been wanting the manual Stitch for a long time as well. I'm hoping to pick one up at Blade Show. This is the first I've heard of lock stick with these. Hope you get it worked out. Always like to see disassemblies of new locks, just in case I need to do it myself sometime.

Grab one of you can. It’s great. The stick went away after a day. And I’m not sure I’m brave enough to take it apart haha

Just order a factory 2nd in green aluminum scales and the satin blade almost ordered the black coated one but I plan on using it. Beautiful blade hope 2 enjoy it.

Nice. They are nice knives. Honestly I haven’t carried mine. Just to many knives right now. Thinning out the collection so more get carried

Mine came the same way, blew out the lock bar with air compressor and clean with Q-Tip.... worked for me.

Mine just came in. Two-tone black blade/black aluminum handle. It might seem crazy to spend almost $400 on a folding knife, but seeing as I primarily carry this as a light EDC cutting task/last-ditch self-defense blade, I want the best money can buy.

Once again we have similar taste. 😂 I have one that’s half serrated like yours I really like. It cuts like a dream and I really like the two tone look. Now I’m waiting for the new Gen Scarab in a double edge to come out. Should be pretty sweet

Ya the edge on this thing is scary and you love the new scarab. Man it a good one also

I got a manual stitch in DLC and carbon fiber. Literally my dream knife from Microtech. As fpr the lock stick, I found that mine wore in pretty quickly by just playing with it for a few days
@ScotchNThings8 ай бұрын
Ya it’s gone after a couple days with it. The carbon fiber would be nice
@5door8 ай бұрын
Ha, I ordered the clear today. Been debating the Stitch for a long time…then had to wait for clear finish. You definitely need to clean it out.

A lil bit of lock stick is a good thing. Means it will break in very nicely. Much much better than a sloppy lock. My stitch ram lok broke in after one day of fidgeting with it here & there. I tried out a socom manual at my local dealer recently , and I didn't like it as well as I thought I would. Felt like the blade was gonna guillotine my thumb off when operating the liner lock😅 , and the handle just felt wierd in my hand. A ram lok version of a socom manual with contoured handle would be nice addition to that line-up.
@ScotchNThings7 ай бұрын
Haha. I waited years for a manual stitch. Maybe another 10 they’ll do it on the socom. Ya the stick worked out of the stitch and I’m loving what they are doing over there. Affordable American made knives
