Released in 2023, the Stitch RAM-LOK debuted with the MSI (Microtech Standard issue) as the first Microtech blade equipped with its fantastic RAM-LOK technology. This rugged take on the sleeper latch features Microtech's distinctive stepped pattern, made famous by the Ultratech series of trigger switches.

The Microtech Stitch is a beautiful tactical collaboration between Tony Marfione and Sebastijan Berenji, AKA Borka. It takes Sebastijan's fantastic Stitch design and combines it with Tony's superb opening mechanisms to create one of the most beautiful manufacturing collaborations ever.

The Amphibian is a true Marfione classic dating back over 20 years. It comes from a bygone era when Microtech knives could be both automatic and manual--in one. Here we have the manual version that incorporates Tony's RAM-LOK design with a reversible pocket clip and two thumb studs for a fully ambidextrous knife that sacrifices nothing in any way. It features Bohler's proprietary M390MK steel, available only from Microtech Knives. The knife is similar to the MSI Microtech Standard in terms of size, but when it comes to style, there is no comparison. The Amphibian is one of the finest tactical knives ever, and we are happy to see it available again for the masses!

Released in 2023, the MSI (Microtech Standard Issue) is the first Microtech knife to feature the fantastic RAM-LOK technology. This sturdy reinterpretation of the sleeper lock features Microtech's distinctive stepped pattern, made famous by the Ultratech series trigger switches. The wide blade cutout provides ample room for reverse middle finger movement and standard slow-rotation thumb opening, with or without gloves. If neither is preferred, simply pull down on the RAM-LOK and the blade opens with a flick of the wrist. Injection-molded handles offer excellent grip potential with both standard and inverted grips. Rugged, durable, great value and made in the USA, we know the MSI will quickly become a favorite of everyone in the knife community.
