SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Stitch OTS Auto S/E Standard Plague Outbreak Signature Series is built for users who demand strength, speed, and unmistakable character in an automatic knife. Born from a collaboration between Marfione Custom Knives and Borka Blades, the Stitch brings custom-level design into a hard-use production platform that doesn’t compromise on performance. This isn’t a subtle folder—it’s a bold, purpose-driven tool designed to excel in everyday carry and tactical roles alike.
The spear point blade measures 3.75 inches and is crafted from premium Böhler M390 steel, a top-tier alloy known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. With a flat grind and plain edge, the Stitch delivers clean slicing performance while maintaining the strength needed for demanding tasks. The Plague Outbreak Signature Series finish adds a striking black and bronze appearance that gives the knife an aggressive, battle-worn look while setting it apart from standard production models.
Deployment is fast and authoritative thanks to Microtech’s out-the-side automatic action. A push-button opener fires the blade with precision, and the button lock keeps it solidly in place during use. Jimping along the thumb ramp and a substantial finger choil provide added control, allowing confident handling even during heavy cutting or high-pressure situations.
The handle is machined from durable aluminum and finished in black with bronze Plague Outbreak accents, offering both visual impact and real-world durability. At 5.00 inches long and 0.62 inches thick, it fills the hand without feeling bulky. The knurled texture enhances grip security, while bead blasted hardware complements the rugged aesthetic. A right-hand, tip-up pocket clip ensures secure and accessible carry, keeping the knife ready when it’s needed.
Weighing just over 6.3 ounces, the Stitch balances solid construction with practical carry comfort. Made in the USA, this automatic folder reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision manufacturing and uncompromising quality. Whether it’s carried as a reliable EDC or reserved as a standout Signature Series piece, the Stitch delivers serious capability with unmistakable presence.
Infected with attitude and engineered to perform, the Microtech Stitch Plague Outbreak brings M390 steel and automatic fire with apocalyptic style. Available at SMKW.
