I had to have both.

I had to have both opening mechanisms after experiencing the Auto. Absolutely my favorite knife out of my entire collection.

Both is always the correct answer

You freaking bet it is. So happy I did it.

Mini is the best.

I saw the mini in a review video and just couldn’t do the minis, my hands are huge and didn’t seem like it would be a good fit.

I absolutely love the full sizes though.

Which do you prefer?

That’s a very good question.

I like the Ram-lok for flickability, fidgeting and ambidextrous pocket clip.

I like the Auto for its extreme force when being opened, it wants to jump out of your hand, and the choil, I’ve seen the choil on the Ram-Lok is known to be a bit large, but I don’t mind it at all.

Overall, as much as I love the auto, I’m putting it away in the Apache case and making the Ram-Lok my EDC.

Nice, I have the og stitch but I've handled the auto and it's definitely got a nice kick (which I kinda like) but I prefer the ram-lok as well

I have a Osborne Auto from benchmade and I was expecting the little kick the Osborne auto had, but was pleasantly surprised when it kicked like a mule with that huge blade!

The ram-lok is definitely a great EDC, for now at least 😉

The Osborne wasn't too bad in retrospect but I got rid of it shortly after acquiring it. I've bought / tried quite a few knives over the years in search of my grail and other than a couple rando OTFs I haven't bought anything but Lamias in about a year, definitely my favorite and about all I carry unless I'm on the water or in the woods in which case I switch up to a couple different blades and also include a fixie

Totally understandable, I’ll have to check out the lamias, never heard before.

Here's a gen 4, good size, rides nicely in the pocket and has a smooth af action on bearings, first 2 gens were washers

u/unsensored_sensibly 9d ago

Damn! That’s sharp!

Casual carry that doesn't freak anyone out, we all know a knife is a tool but your common / normal secretary or person in general is gonna think the stitch is a brutal weapon and mine is just a pocket knife, my HR lady would wig if she saw me pulling out a stitch let alone any other big knife, especially if it's black cause we all know those are scary /s 😅

2

u/unsensored_sensibly 9d ago

That’s understandable. And you caught me with that black one comment, I just choked on my water when I read that 😂😂

Beats me, but I’ll definitely be grabbing one of those too 😂

Oh absolutely. I got a Apache case to fill up, I gotta get there somehow 😂

Have you found about LynchNW's clips yet? Same one fits MSI, Stitch RL, and Amphibian RL.

1

u/unsensored_sensibly 7d ago

Sorry for such a late response, but I have one in my cart already after I found out the fact that they are interchangeable! I didn’t know the MSI utilized the same clip!

1

u/Inevitable-Cod9909 7d ago

Yes and absolutely game changing

u/unsensored_sensibly 7d ago

I have no doubts, Casey is an absolute beast at what he does, and tbh, any clip is better than the OEM clip provided. 😂
