High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Stitch Out-the-Side Automatic Knife is built with uncompromising strength and tactical reliability in mind. Its 3.75" premium steel blade carries a partially serrated drop point profile with Microtech’s distinctive Apocalyptic finish, a treatment that gives the steel a weathered, battle-worn look while enhancing durability. Fast deployment is delivered with a press of the push-button, snapping the blade open with authority and locking it securely into place. This isn’t just a knife for casual use—it’s a tool designed for demanding environments where performance can’t be questioned.
The handle is forged from textured olive drab green aircraft-grade aluminum, built to balance toughness with a lightweight feel in the hand. Deep machining ensures a confident grip, even under stress. A stainless steel pocket clip provides carry security, while the integrated backspacer includes a lanyard slot for additional options. At 4.75" closed and weighing 6.3oz, the Stitch strikes a balance between carry comfort and full-size capability. Like all Microtechs, it’s proudly made in the USA, ensuring the precision and craftsmanship collectors and professionals have come to expect.
For those who want more than just a cutting tool, this knife represents a commitment to quality and rugged utility. The Stitch’s aggressive profile, durable build, and distinctive styling make it equally at home in the field, on duty, or in a carefully curated collection. It’s not just a blade—it’s an extension of purpose and a reminder of how form and function should align.
