Microtech Stitch Automatic Knife/Stassa 23 Review & Testing

[@jps3b]

This is the best knife review I’ve ever seen. Cutting up all that different material really brings the point home no pun intended

[@locksmithdb5987]

I just got one on 7/2022. I LOVE IT!!! The lock up is so solid it feels like a fixed blade...it fires with AUTHORITY!!!! The Stitch is a SLICER! If you can get one, you should! I had to wait years until Microtech made another run. Mine was made on 3-2022.

[@pinoyedcknives]

i just got mine from a dealer here in my country. damn chonky but freaking sharp right out of the box and begs to be used on hard cases.

[@cueball981]

Love this knife! Definitely going on my list of ones to get down the road! Thank you for a great review!

[@nhwnhw02]

For years now my go to sharpness test has involved phonebook paper. It is thin, has an alternating thin and thicker composition. A truly sharp knife will snap cut a thin sliver a couple of inches long without any resistance. The stitch is an interesting piece of work. Nice review.

[@snottrrocket]

Love my stitch. Thought they were way bigger. They're surprisingly comfortable in the pocket and very robust. I won't say they're for everyone, but I wish I got mine years ago. Carry it almost every day since I got it.

[@tonymendoza7484]

How is the pocket wear after years just curious I just ordered one

[@snottrrocket]

@@tonymendoza7484 I carried it for a few months straight with no big signs. I gravitated back to my sigil after a while, but I still have the stitch! It's a great piece imo.

[@BLADESANDFADESOFFICIAL]

Great review brother! I really enjoy the way you’ve been doing your reviews lately! I’ve had my eye on the the Stitch for a minute now and can’t wait to get my hands on one!!!

[@tim2033]

Thank you for the great review and testing footage. Well done Sir !

[@evile1174]

Just got my Stitch! Stoked

[@SeanOgrada]

I just got the fully serrated one. It is one bad ass blade! I wish they made a flipper version as well . . . Rock on Blade Heads! 😎🤙

[@timshorten9545]

I had a stitch.. absolutely a phenomenal knaf.. had to sell it to free up some funds unfortunately 😐 but hopefully I scoop another one day if I can find it!! Love your vids!!🤙

[@tgonzalez1983]

I had one in my cart yesterday and was ready to click “complete order” but decided against it. If it were a manual I would’ve pulled the trigger. Glad I held off because I found a Reate exo and got it instead this morning. The stitch is so beautiful tho. Microtech needs NEEDS to make it manual. Then I’ll get it without hesitation

[@markp4401]

Cool knife. My biggest regret is it isn’t dual action. That blade cut out is ideal for finger flicking.

[@03_austindrake88]

It sure cut very well for how thick the blade stock is. It's cool to see a knife like that tested like this. As far as the "A" on the blade, I always thought that meant auto. Aluminum makes sense too. Great video once again Stassa!

[@KB-kw8ni]

It means auto

[@satudave]

The Stich is definitely on my list of gotta get. Freakin badass appearance and performance

[@Mr1121628]

The backspacer is actually Titanium. I checked mine with a magnet the other day. If it looks like stainless (or a little darker) and it’s not magnetic, 99% chance it’s titanium. Aluminum is much brighter and takes a finish very differently. Not sure why two websites claim it to be Al (Knifecenter & PVK). Microtech doesn’t say on their site so I’m not sure where those websites got it. They probably just assumed it was aluminum because that’s a more common backspacer material than titanium.

[@nathannettik685]

I have a Benchmade 53 Mangus terrible flipper, great EDC. Sometimes purpose and reality line up in weird ways.

[@David_DY]

Been using the Stitch Since April l believe ... Great EDC for me! 👍🏼👊🏼

[@David_DY]

If u push the button when the blades open u can use your index finger and push the blade and it will stay were u push it and then u can close it with your thumb...I'm pretty sure it's by design

[@bubba92473]

Always been tough good looking knife 🔪

[@3wheelmannc860]

On my wish list for sure.

[@marcuscompton3772]

I've been buying microtech and Benchmade for a while now but the cost of these quality knives is getting out of hand.

[@tbag8o8]

I just got mine and noticed the button is very stiff and it takes a lot of force dead center in the button to open it. It’s very difficult to open.

[@badmunkyedc1]

I would love to see them make this in a double action auto so you could use the hole. Just a tank of a knife!

[@forsator]

My favourite knife.

[@J1c80]

I'd like to see microtech do a Mini Stitch something in a 3 ¼ blade 7¾ oal

[@caseytyler8326]

Yes! For a reasonable price 😅 not 350 😂

[@Stassa23]

Yeah that would be awesome, I’d buy one for sure 👌🏻

[@jesseclift3743]

Borka makes an m-Stitch. Fantastic knife, but its not $350 and you can't even find one

[@J1c80]

@@jesseclift3743 ya Borka's customs is way overpriced & over hyped it's a cool design but his pricing is ridiculous

[@jesseclift3743]

@@J1c80 it depends on what you pay for one. The bubble is insane right now. I've had Marfione Customs that were worth every penny, sub-2k and thats what I'm into the few Borkas I have. In hand, you can really feel the craftsmanship. I think they're better than custom knives that Tony makes.

[@luisacero5453]

on what angle do you sharp this knive

[@charlesholland6851]

Great review! I believe the backspacer is titanium btw. Never mind. I just went and looked. It's aluminum according to SMKW. I could have sworn I seen people flame anodizing the things. 😂

[@Stassa23]

I’m sure someone makes titanium backspacers for it 👍🏻

[@Mr1121628]

It doesn’t say anything on SMKW’s site about the backspacer material. On KnifeCenter and PVK they list it as aluminum, but I doubt that due to the heft, color, and way it takes the stonewashed finish. It sure does look a lot like stainless, but it’s not magnetic. Sounds like titanium to me. Also, I own a Stitch and I can confirm it’s titanium. Not light enough or bright enough to be aluminum in my opinion.

[@bubba92473]

Just a working beast!

[@Doug-do7ge]

Great video brother

[@SkunkPunch73]

Holy hell I think I’m in love! But it’s a love that will never be 🤣 I was definitely born in the wrong country🤬🤬 that piece has definitely hit a part of my tiny brain that’s just got me absolutely buzzed out… thanking you very kindly for this one Stassa23

[@AlexsKnivesSuch]

This knife always is 🔥 & gets me excited. Does serial numbers on boker Kalashnikov automatic knives mean how much is made or where can I find out ?

[@Stassa23]

Not sure about that

[@knifetoucher]

That's one bad ass looking knife

[@jimgrey393]

Thanks

[@steveredmen437]

Love the review. FYI: There is no such thing as Aircrafr grade aluminum. Never was. Its a marketing gimic 25 years old.

[@KB-kw8ni]

You are wrong. Its is a thing. I work in one of the factories that produce these alloys

[@steveredmen437]

@@KB-kw8ni There is not any and I mean any aluminum called Aircraft grade aluminum. It will have any number of designations. But Aircraft grade is not one of them. Are you referring to the outside wing? Are you referring to the beverage cart. Could it be the main engine intake valve? These are all different grades of aluminum. All can be used on an airplane. How about aluminum baseball bats? College baseball teams fly on Aircraft. That makes their bats Aircraft grade in the factory you work in. You are silly and easily fooled.

[@KB-kw8ni]

@@steveredmen437 calling people names is not a good way to start a conversation and shows me your level of mentality so I will not delve into this any further however I work in this industry and the designation is true as aircraft-grade aluminum for different variations of aluminum alloys

Where can I find one to buy? For the pass few months I look every where so far no luck …..

[@Stassa23]

Jim’s Firearms in Baton Rouge, La had one left the other day so you can call them and ask if they still have it but other than that they do small batch runs of knives and the Stitch sells out quick so if you ever see one available I would jump on it because it won’t last long 👍🏻

[@alexevandro9]

@@Stassa23 thanks for reply, I’m going to check it up!

[@chads9179]

that bevel is going to widen up a lot with a reasonable edge angle on it. the pocket clip sucks.

[@joe1745ny]

ur begging a mallet finger disrespecting the inertia of that massive blade. good luck and safety in pursuit of that folly

[@glyco8307]

gnomeometer?

[@Stassa23]

Yeah it’s a device that uses a laser pointer to shine down the edge bevel to bounce off of both sides of the edge onto a protractor so you can see what angle each side is at. www.catra.org/testing-equipment/knives-blades-cutting-edges/laser-knife-edge-protector/
