They look like very solid knives and the ram Lock has the makings of a robust system. I was excited to see these, but I will probably never own one until they start getting thier heat treats rights. On a cheap knife you can expect suboptimal but for premium prices you should get materials that have the performance to justify that price, I feel the same way about Hinderer knives in that regard. If you just collect and never use that's your choice, but for the ones that do use them it's kind of a ripoff. Thanks for the great vid Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

@LonestarTaoboy Жыл бұрын

According to Larrin Thomas, the tweak Bohler added to this version of M390 offers improved edge retention, corrosion resistance and polishability. He concedes it could have increased edge retention if the carbon content was raised, but greater corrosion resistance and polishability are unlikely. Furthermore, all of this could be accomplished by a heat treatment to get a higher optimum hrc. Additionally the MK probably stands for Microtech Knives. Finally, it is very likely that this could be a marketing scheme to create a buzz for some new sexy steel.

Love the channel. I am 12 years and counting active duty infantry Marine lol This is my favorite knife of all time. From me to you though.. I've had this knife since it dropped. The steal linner rusts with light water exposure. One rainy night caused light rust for me. The ram lock physically can not handle battoning. Over all very strong on all other aspects. I'll keep this knife but fixing these 2 problems and making people aware is important. I plan on finding a 3rd party company to make titanium Linners for this knife.

On the MSI, it looks like the blade touches the rear of the Ram Lok when closing. Is that so? Also, my Stitch Ram Lok makes a fairly loud “metal on metal” sound when closing. Having taken one apart, can you explain what that is? As long as the sharpened edge is contacting metal, I’m fine with the noise it makes. I love both knives (got both of mine in OD also;-}). Thanks!

I agree the action was really bad out of the box. Has broken in a bit, but I thought something was wrong with the knife at first with the action being as bad as it was. They need to polish the surface of the blade that makes contact with the ram lok. Mine was really rough and had a lot of texture on the blade making it not smooth when opening.

I really like the stitch, but don't know that I would carry it. Was checking knife laws in Iowa where I live and it comments on "dagger shape" being illegal. Not that it's a dagger, but explaining that in a legal debate sounds not very promising. I've never had to use a knife in self defense but who knows? I got paranoid weeks back and stopped carrying my elementum button lock for the same reason with gravity knives being illegal here too. Which is really frustrating I absolutely love that knife!

One more thing I noticed when someone brought it up online, the weird amazing rubbery aluminum handle has stippling all over it for grip, but some engineer was so smart he didn't put it under the pocket clip so it doesn't rip your jeans or pants up.
