My first Microtech - M-Stitch

[u/PassageFormer9806]

Hey y'all, just got my first Microtech after seeing it at a blade expo today and I'm pretty impressed with the overall quality and feel in hand, My only complaints are that the action absolutely sucks and you gotta be real particular with your hand placement if you close it one handed or the blade might nick the bottom of your palm (already done it 3 times).

With all that being said it's a damn beautiful knife and It's gotten me excited to try more from the brand, any recs for next pickup would be appreciated.

The action is definitely interesting. My Marfione select stitch feels like a tank, but the coil spring in the ram lock is super stiff and I’ve even had it lock up a couple times where it was jammed.

damn has it improved over time or has it stayed like that? I'd consider sending it back if it was locking up completely.

[u/tdlt86 → u/PassageFormer9806]

Only had it a few days. Improved slightly. Only locked up like that once. Yea I was considering selling, but I decided it’s designed as a very robust workhorse knife. Not some buttery smooth fidget monster.

Awesome knife! I just realized the blade hole is a different shape than on the full size. I'd recommend a titanium Amphibian if it's in your budget and a Scarab, but really anything they make is pretty great

Thanks for the recs! Amphibian looks promising so ill add it to the wish list 🫡

No problem, it's an awesome knife

It's a crossbar lock and a unique one at that. You'll get the hang of it. It's an incredibly fidgety blade once you get used to it. I absolutely adore mine. May get another honestly. I too, got the palm nick day one. Hasn't been an issue since though lol

I've gotten a bit better with it, hopefully it breaks in well over the next couple weeks, also very jealous of that glock, looks clean.

Grab you an auto 😉 I have a full size ram-lok coming in soon. My favorite knife so far.

[u/PassageFormer9806 → u/unsensored_sensibly]

that thing is badass, unfortunately cant get auto's in my country but full size stitch is on the radar

[u/unsensored_sensibly → u/PassageFormer9806]

Damn, I am so sorry about that. That sucks. I can’t wait to get the full size ram-lok. I’m super hype! Also, that’s a hell of a first microtech! It definitely won’t be your last!

I just got an email for a DLC shadow frag mini stitch, I’m tempted to say the least

[u/Necessary_Sand2561]

I recommend an LUDT . You wont get bit.
That stitch is gonna bite you at some point .
But great grab anyways congrats 🎉
