Microtech Stitch Review, hard to recommend.. but I really like it!

[@DarthVirtus]

I've been going back and watching a lot of your old videos and I'll just have them playing in the background like a podcast while I do other things. I really enjoy hearing you just ramble on about this hobby which I enjoy so much. You create a very comfortable atmosphere and each time I fire a video up it kinda feels like I'm sitting down with a friend.

[@jeff7712]

For some odd reason I find the wood table with the knives on it, cup of coffee on the table and the plaid shirt your wearing aesthetically pleasing and relaxing.

[@blitzbbffl]

So glad that you are back Randy. You are, without a doubt, one the most knowledgeable knife reviewers on KZbin, and your presentation style is pleasently relaxed and natural.

[@VincenzoNero94]

Just got mine in today. I think I’m doing to post a cut test later on with it. Probably put it up against the pm2 to see what knife cuts better.

[@JVYoung]

I feel the same way. I have the 3V version, and it’s a fun knife that I hardly carry, but during get-togethers with other knife buddies, it always comes out.

[@nOObels1]

Gimme dat

[@christisking2252]

Thank you so much for this awesome, honest review man!! You need to try the Microtech ludt if you haven’t picked one up by now. Best knife ever man!!!

[@Jimatuscc]

I just got mine in recently, and I too have mixed feelings, but it's a damn good carry! While it may not be the best blade for EDC, it certainly has a certain factor. I think, in a self defense situation, pulling out the Stitch, would give your attacker second thoughts immediately. I personally prefer a thick blade. I would not like to depend upon a knife with a big hole in it like Spyderco blades, but this is a full 4mm of M390 fighting Steel. If you were attacked by a bear on a walk, would you feel good about carrying a Sebenza or a Stitch? I'll take Microtech metal any day.

[@troywheatley744]

Nice man, i like it! & your taste and commentary. ...subbed

[@mattarchey4436]

Awesome review. For around $300, it’s doable for me. But for gods sake…their combat troodon brand new is $1,149….would you pay that?

[@powerplay4real174]

Man I would have likes to hear you thoughts on Microtech the company.

[@scotts6596]

Not sure if my Comment or question is pertinent now. But although Spending 375-400 on a special knife like this beautiful Beast is not Practical or Affordable for many knife lovers, What is the next best " Knockoff" ( only to have Some sort of Satisfaction of having that knife..at a budget friendly price. KNOWING its not as good in many ways.. Via alternative sources . ( ie: DH gate or Aliexpress )

[@TheSrekaens]

How come one youtuber claims it sucks at cutting while other praises it for outstanding cutting performance, mainly because of the behind the edge thickness, claiming that it cuts much better than PM2? Do you even use those knives or just look at the blade stock thickness?

[@jeffoff7795]

The Shaman is the only knife I need and if you aren’t buying on the secondary market, they’re reasonably priced, even the sprint runs. I still bought the Stitch the moment I ran across it. I love it.

[@SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

A knife like this is kind of like a british sports car. Technically it may not be better than other, or maybe in some ways worse, (and not practical) but others just don't have the soul, or that "Je ne sais quoi" that brings joy to life. Enjoy your knife without shame. :)

[@joefuentez7232]

I’m in a love affair / addiction with the Stitch. I own three. The standard edge apocalyptic finish, all black full serrated, and the newest version, the gray clear. But I want one more, an all black plain edge. They’re so bad ass and the shock factor when I pull one out is awesome too.

[@zurcyer]

Where do you recommend buying this knife from? Any online retailers?

[@Mr.Beastforpresident]

Just Sub'd. I wish they made it in a Manual Version and wish they made the blade sit deeper into the handle towhere not so much of the blade is protruding. Also wish they made it a hollow grind.

[@westsenkovec]

Is that the old or new version of American Lawman?

[@VincenzoNero94]

Ordered mine, should be here Monday. Looks like it fires really hard.

[@1000rr2008cbr]

neroknives wondering where were able to order from?

[@45422]

Randy, Can you review the Gerber 06 Auto?

[@justingiles9992]

I absolutely love my stitch, I made a mistake in trading for a Hellhound which is a beautiful knife as well but I missed my stitch a lot more than anticipated, just landed the dlc version today to fill that void, for microtech known high price I find the stitch to be one of the better values on the dollar, it’s a to each their own but I suggest giving it a try.

[@eskee1]

I'll trade you a black stitch like this 1 for the hellhound?

[@gsxr7736]

Just thinking about buying this. Is it still your one of your favourites?

[@warreningreborn6517]

Keep em coming. Thoughts on the Socom Elite? It falls into a similar category though the blade to handle ratio is much closer to 1:1

[@jeremiahgoodwin3408]

I want a full serrated stitch to carry along side with my socom elite, as it's satin with no serrations

[@powerfulk9790]

I love the MT auto stitch and Borka Blades in general. I'm glad this model has the normal torx hardware. I wish I'd known they were going to come out with all the different color variations before I bought mine bc I have the same model as you and its a little plain for ~$400. Its not the perfect EDC but its such a fun and interesting knife. I'd take it all day over the sebenza. I find myself carrying the Strider SNG/ Protech Auto and the Liong Mah XV the most though. The only gripe I have is the push button is a little gritty.

[@nickmiller3796]

Thanks for a great, honest review.

[@knowyourhistory]

Watching this video again in anticipation of the new ram lock version.

[@totschopper]

Do you still do knife customizations?

[@MichalBreslau]

I ended up with ''John Olivier'' version of Stitch - We Fornix.

[@Traderjoe]

I love the design of this one. I agree on all points about the proportions and design. My two issues are 1) Price and 2) Automatic. If it was $200 and not auto, I’d definitely consider it.

[@steelovan]

Mate, it's coming out soon!

[@JustSumGuy01]

Microtech is really knives for flexing if you got the money for it. They are pretty solid knives but not for the poors

[@magicROCKETSify]

Sebastian favorite production knife from even before he became a knife maker and was just a youtuber was the yojimbo 2. With that in mind you can really see where he was influenced when he decided do design this knife. If you like the yojimbo this one will be in your wheel house

[@dano727]

Just got mine yesterday, and it is just BadASS !!!

[@benreidy5853]

Just bought mine. It's the same as yours. And man I tell I just love this knife. And in Florida I'm aloud to carry it. But I do agree, Saturday night special only.

[@thomasmccarthy2279]

Where did you purchase yours from, i want one but i cant find any websites that have it available

Nice review!

[@TheWestboom]

I edc a Cold Steel 4max most of the time lol👌🏻 i do love the looks of this knife

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

But you must know, Microtech puts a very thin bevel on their knives. So all Micros are like that, I've had four.

[@troywheatley744]

Round of applause for ya Matt ...and ???

[@phernphx2773]

I like the design but I've been done with that color configuration.

[@Mrplacedcookie]

Good to see you.

[@mikeelek9713]

A badass knife, for sure. Great value? Hardly, but still a badass knife.

[@LLHaines]

Awesome!! Putting up vids again 👍🏼 I hear you!!! Definitely not for me but hey, that’s someone’s EDC haha blessings👊🏼✌🏼~Lonnie

[@Jimatuscc]

My only gripe with the Stitch-A is that the handle has a strange resemblance to a man's limp...er, well you get the drift.

[@paypatrolfactor5336]

Looks like a copy of the Michael Janich, Yojimbo by Spyderco , personally i would buy a Yojimbo but. that's a cool liking knife and I'm sure it very well made.

[@gmoney5947]

You don’t care about boxes but you have it 1 year later....regretfully I threw my Microtech box away the day I got it. I love Microtech they make beautiful tools but they just aren’t worth $400 dollars. I still want this knife in the copper finish.

[@richterknives]

Great review

[@thehighadvisor5731]

Hello Randolph. Shane here. It’s been awhile. Let’s talk and catch up.

[@LoveLife-xy9ir]

Yeh its over kill price and size. Like the cammo edition but nah

[@ctaber2011]

People still own Striders? :P

[@yohannmawash4209]

superbe

[@klapsker714]

These knives are not for folks who are concerned about the cost, they are MT enthusiasts. Please stop emphasizing the price tag.

[@cukedaddy]

The blade reminds me of the War Toad.

[@rcast9022]

It can declog you nose so you can speak better. That knife is great.

[@PkwyDrive13]

I just have no interest in autos anymore, most are over priced for what you get.

[@1989inception]

I own 2 of them an carry each daily. Ive cut deer that ive hunted, cut the wings off Quail. There amazing knives.

[@powerplay4real174]

Junk¥ard dog ! has one of those. I don't like it but its a Novelty Item even though it is made well and has quality steel so I would not say its high prices trash but its a knife with no real purpose other than I like that knife type of knife. So I would not buy one of those, plus I'm not a Microtech knife guy. It's one stupid looking blade style IMHO.

[@powerplay4real174]

Yojimbo & YoJumbo 4 my and that is a Yoj--mbo wannabe if you ask me.

[@panzerfaust5119]

I've owned Microtech and can say as far as my experience goes with them.Way over priced.My combat Troodon at 460 dollars with all the misfires and loud sprin sing it was not even close to be worth the retail price.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

It's a safe queen like all microtechs. I have a really expensive microtech and the quality is great but not made for use. Striders are better tools (but suck for edc in pocket). Also microtech are sue happy and copy other designs despite them being made in USA. The owner of the company seems to have two faces but I use the word seems... Cause he'd sue me otherwise. Regardless the knives microtech make are worth the cash but not for everyone for various reasons and often are past the point of diminishing return. The stitch is too thick behind the edge. Probably a good baton knife lol but too thick behind the edge doesn't mean it won't cut. Tbo though aluminum handle knives over $100 are not for me. The finish of aluminum when it's used is ugly and cheap. And 300-400$ the knife I get better be titanium.

[@BigThumpr1]

Tactical Center all Microtechs are safe queens?🤔🤔 pretty sure I use my stainless Damascus Combat Troodon D/E every day. While I don’t agree with some of the stuff they do, they are meant to be used. There’s a video of a guy taking a hammer to his Combat to drive it into wood, just to show that the locking mechanism on the OTF can be for hard use. So yes they are meant for hard use and can handle the abuse. Do some people collect the mirror polished blades along with some of the other other Damascus blades and not use them, sure. But that does not mean every Microtech is meant to just stare at. It’s a tool, and some of us men use them.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

BigThumpr1 yea man. Some of us. 1% probably. I use most of my knives too. Though anything over $1000 I tend to just fidget with only. Lol

[@dalecarpenter8828]

The clone was $29.00 ! But it has the bugout crap plastic ( rubbery ) handle ( there's a bugout clone bugout with G10 $29.00 way way better ) and the cut outs in the blade for the lock are very slight (shallow ) it wll most certainly will fail with a little pressure ( hand pressure ) ! Hope the real one isn't like that ! The real pne should not be more than $ 50.00 ! I don't care what the hype is !
