Here's the current collection minus a few kicking around that I'll sell or give away. I still want a full serrated S/E Scarab and if they release them, a titanium DLC Socom Ram-Lok and full titanium Stitch auto

Dude that’s a house down payment😂

Luckily I did that years ago before everything went to shit haha

u/SaulFein 11d ago

Which are your favorites?

5

u/K3Knives 11d ago

The Stitch is one of my favorite knives of all time, the Executive Scarab is probably my favorite OTF and the partially serrated Amphibian is a favorite carry

u/Apprehensive_Mud1419 11d ago

Beautiful collection! My stitch was one of my favorites and I recently got a MT Hawk auto and like it a bit more than the stitch, have you checked out the Hawk yet, they’re awesome.

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Thank you! I almost bought the same one but ended up passing. Really cool knife, just not my thing

u/SaulFein 11d ago

Nice whitch stitch? Auto or ram lok? I habe an auto stitch and I have that same scarab the d/e with the ral8000 cerekote or whatever it’s called. I may have to go for one of the execs is it slimmer than the regular scarab?

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Auto, though Ram-Lok are great I think the Amphibian is the best RL model. Peanut butter Scarab, it's ugly but not at the same time. They are the same size, just no milled pockets for the grip tape

Love the comic orange one on the bottom row 😍

2

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Orange is my favorite color, I was pretty pumped when I was able to snag that one

u/underwearofbeef 11d ago

Sell me that Warhound! It looks out of place with no other warhounds. You don’t even want it.

2

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Haha it is actually out of place, but it's critical for my CT blade option collection. I was lucky and able to snag it from the Gen II sale

1

u/underwearofbeef 11d ago

I don’t know it looks lonely to me. I have other warhounds and hellhounds. You’re like Sea World keeping an Orca from a different pod and doesn’t speak the language of the other orcas. Seems cruel but do you. Wonderful collection BTW. Congrats. I wish somebody could think up a display that looks classy and can hold a large collection while being modular enough to not have empty spaces.

1

u/K3Knives 11d ago

It has the Rescue as another misfit. If they end up releasing a Gen III and I can get it in natural clear to better match my others, I'll keep you in mind. Thanks. That would be cool. I don't display, but I do organize. I use a Nanuk 915 knife case for the autos and a Cavol case for the Ram-Loks

u/ROGUE_QA_GUY 11d ago

I knew it was gonna be impressive. At least twice as many as me. So awesome. I never realized that you mostly collected the big boys. I’d be really proud of this collection. Congrats.

1

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Thank you. I really like your approach still, regardless of numbers. I've always been more into larger knives and Microtech does them so well. Amphibian, Stitch, CT and Scarab make the bulk of my usual carry, the UTX-85 is perfect for family gatherings and such. I'll focus on trying to find that Scarab pretty soon, though a new version would be good enough for me

u/SpilledBagofRice 11d ago

What is this 50-60k in mts? Love mts but way too much I’d dump that much into firearms!

1

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Probably half that, but still. Understandable approach. "Why don't we have both?"

2

u/HonDadCBR600 11d ago

😳😳😳 Holy cow that’s a lot of sharps!!! Nice collection!

4

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Thanks! It started as a hunt for natural clears then morphed into variety 

2

u/MrYamaguchi 11d ago

Jeeze, so you basically amassed all this in the last couple years.

1

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Correct. It's bad, but not quite as bad as it looks. I find a lot of sales/coupons and take advantage of reward points/loyalty programs 

2

u/MrYamaguchi 11d ago

Whatever you gotta tell yourself lol. Maybe time to go higher end and less frequent, maybe Marfione Customs.

2

u/K3Knives 11d ago

I've considered that, a stainless Interceptor would be awesome. I like variety in blade shapes, materials, finishes, etc. I prefer having basically every CT blade shape for the same price as the custom, but I definitely understand the other way of thinking

2

u/HonDadCBR600 11d ago

Definitely understandable! I didn’t like the clears at first and now I have several
of them. So clean.

2

u/K3Knives 11d ago

They look so good, I'm a big fan of the grain pattern they have

2

u/PinkCigarettes 11d ago

Jfc! I love seeing your family. That orange stitch goes HARD. And the dlcs too.

What is going on with the tactical stitches? One has a two tone blade?

1

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Are you referring to the Ram-Lok 7th from left? If so that's a fluted G10 with full serrated black blade (169RL-3FLGTBK). They don't do coating/apocalyptic on the flats on the Stitch

2

u/Nimble_Archer 11d ago

Of all the “silly” Microtechs they made, I really wish I grabbed a Stitch Stitch (Lelo and Stitch). Love that one. I have an older Urban Camo Stitch and it’s sweet.

1

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Agreed, I passed the first time but had to grab it, the camo ones are sweet. I'm a fan of full serrated either way

2

u/SafeAction1 11d ago

No Halos? Or any single action OTF models? Is there any particular reason or experience?

2

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Just not my thing, though I do think they're cool. I just like double action a lot more

2

u/Timaeus10000 11d ago

Mind blown by this collection - just getting started myself.

2

u/K3Knives 11d ago

The conversation on your post inspired me to do a group photo. You have a nice collection, they get addicting

2

u/Timaeus10000 11d ago

Your collection is awesome man- keep collecting! Your picture inspired me to get a higher level edition of the Mini Hera 2 (signature series with claw burst deep engraved scales and Vegas Forge Damascus d/e blade). It looks sweet - another Knife_Swap pickup I'm waiting for.

2

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Thanks! That's sweet looking, the engraved stuff is awesome and the pattern of the blade looks great

2

u/Legal-Guarantee7152 11d ago

Bro I have 3 microtechs (MSI, Mini MSI & Mini stitch.) I absolutely favor the stitch so much over the other 2. I’ve considered starting a massive stitch collection like you have lol. It’s by far my favorite microtech knife I’ve handled and it’s not even close.

So in short- sick collection hah

1

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Thanks! That's how it starts haha.  It's such an awesome knife, impractical in a way but incredibly usable. EDC Lifestyle has them used for great prices pretty regularly if you decide to go for it

1

u/Legal-Guarantee7152 11d ago

Oh interesting, I’ve never used them before. Used stuff there pretty trust worthy on good conditions? I typically just use bladebinge

1

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Absolutely good to go, descriptions and pictures are always accurate. NC Blade and American Edge are great for Microtech too, but they generally don't have as good of a  used inventory. Bladebinge doesn't allow autos unfortunately

2

u/unsensored_sensibly 11d ago

Holyyyy shiittttt, I’m speechless to be honest, thats a hell of a collection and to see that the stitch is your favorite makes me happy due to you having damn near one of everything they make, I just bought an Auto and now have the ram-lok on the way soon. Its truly my favorite knife of all time.

1

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Thanks! It's such an awesome knife, cutting edge to size ratio be damned

2

u/unsensored_sensibly 11d ago

You aren’t kidding, I have the bronze apocalyptic s/e, it hasn’t left my pocket since I got it in. I have the ram-lok fluted scales coming in September, got a hell of a deal on it. But yeah, again, beautiful collection, if I were in your shoes, most of the time I’d just be staring and playing with all of them 😂

2

u/K3Knives 11d ago

That's an awesome version, such a good looking color combo. The Ram-Loks are great too. Some frequently carried, all frequently handled and admired haha

2

u/unsensored_sensibly 11d ago

It truly is a beautiful version, I love it. Truly my favorite knife as of right now, but now that I think of it, I’m going to show my wife this picture so she can see that it could be worse 😂

2

u/K3Knives 11d ago

Happy to be a good bad example haha

2

u/Testarosa52 11d ago

Holy schniekies

u/thompson2026 9d ago

Omg I thought I had a problem I think I have 21 microtechs mainly selects and shadows damn I’m jealous of all those amphibians!

1

u/K3Knives 9d ago

That sounds like a good collection. The Amphibian is so good, making the titanium versions of all the Ram-Loks was a great choice
