Sharper than sharp
The Stitch is anything but reasonable. A design so over the top, even the Joker from The Dark Knight couldn’t have come up with a nastier blade.
Aggressive lines. Bombproof look. Massive blade cutout. No doubt: this thing means business.
Based on a design by Borka Blades, Microtech produces not only an automatic version, but also this manual variant of their insane concept.
Everyday carry? That’s a stretch.
Display case? Way too good for that.
Pure joy in extreme form? Absolutely.
At its core is the RAM-LOK™ – Microtech’s own take on a plunge lock, inspired by Benchmade’s Axis Lock and Spyderco’s Ball Bearing Lock. Reimagined with oversized hardware, fully ambidextrous, smooth as butter, and built like a tank.
The blade? A wild mix of spear point, dagger, and madness, crafted from M390MK – Microtech’s exclusive and tougher version of Böhler’s famous M390 steel. Thin grind, brutally pointy, and available with or without serrations.
The machined G10 handle scales offer excellent grip and, thanks to the oversized choil, sit comfortably in the hand – even with thick gloves. Add to that a deep-carry clip, lanyard hole, and as a bonus: massive Torx screws, so you don’t have to mess with tiny bit drivers.
The Stitch might not be the most practical EDC knife – but honestly? It doesn’t have to be.
With the MSI (Microtech Standard Issue), Microtech has deliberately chosen to forgo flashy design – and in doing so, may have created one of the most functional knives in their entire lineup.
Instead of futuristic lines, you get a no-nonsense hard-use EDC that focuses on what truly matters: performance, reliability, and handling.
At the heart of it lies the new RAM-LOK™ – Microtech’s own take on the plunge lock, inspired by Spyderco’s Ball Bearing Lock and Benchmade’s Axis Lock, but with beefier hardware and a much more rugged build. The ambidextrous locking mechanism is not only incredibly solid but also buttery smooth to operate.
The blade is made from Microtech’s exclusive M390MK – a custom alloyed version of Böhler’s M390, formulated specifically for Microtech. The goal? Maintain the excellent edge retention of the original while dialing up toughness and durability – and that’s exactly what M390MK delivers.
The high flat grind gives you excellent cutting performance, even in daily use. The blade is ground surprisingly thin by industrial standards, so despite the robust blade stock, you still get impressive slicing power.
The textured polymer handle scales are lightweight, grippy, and ergonomically shaped. A deep-carry stainless steel clip keeps the knife secure in your pocket, while the oversized lanyard hole has room for even the bulkiest of beads and fobs.

The KatanaO Manual OTF is made for those who appreciate smart design and clean mechanics. No springs, no fuss – just a manual sliding mechanism that lets the blade glide smoothly along rails. Push or pull the button, and you're good to go.
The blade is crafted from M390 steel – known for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall EDC performance. For the handle, you can choose between Grade 5 titanium or Ultem if you're into ultra-light builds with a modern twist.
What we really like: it's so compact and lightweight, you’ll barely notice it in your pocket – ideal for discreet carry.
Tactical legend with 2-tone finish and half serrations in red
Back in the late 90s, the Socom Elite made it clear that tactical folding knives could be not only functional, but also groundbreaking in design. A lot has changed since then – but not the standards of this model: uncompromising performance, well thought-out ergonomics, and absolute reliability. The manual version of this classic comes with a blade made of Böhler M390 and a fine stonewashed finish. The blade opens via a thumb stud with clearly defined resistance and snaps into position with precision – a tactile experience that is addictive. The anodized aluminum handle in standard blue is not only a visual highlight, but also fits comfortably and securely in the hand thanks to the textured inlays. Every millimeter has been carefully thought out – from the non-slip surface to the ergonomic lines. The liner lock keeps the blade secure and reliable, even when performing demanding tasks. And although the knife is clearly designed for functionality, its look remains absolutely iconic: distinctive, modern, and uncompromisingly Microtech. The Socom Elite is not a knife for a quick impulse buy. It is a conscious decision—for quality, technology, and precision, manufactured in the USA with a design that has been setting standards for over two decades.

Ultem. M4. And a Hint of Gemstone.
With the Mini Freek Limited 2025, Benchmade presents a true collector’s piece for the SHOT Show Special. Inspired by the rich contrast of amethyst and topaz, this edition plays with bold opposites: translucent amber ULTEM™, a violet-coated blade – and a design you won’t forget anytime soon.
Amber Ultem meets violet-coated M4 steel.
The handle scales are made from semi-transparent amber ULTEM™ – an ultra-rigid, high-performance polymer normally found in aerospace applications. Here, it gets the spotlight it deserves: lightweight, durable, and instantly recognizable.
The CPM-M4 blade features a violet Cerakote® coating – a color that doesn’t scream, but still stands out. M4 is a tool steel for those who know their craft – uncompromising, incredibly tough, and built for hard use.
AXIS® Lock
Naturally, the legendary AXIS® Lock is part of the build – Benchmade’s signature locking mechanism, fully ambidextrous, smooth in action, and a joy to operate. Patented for decades, and still one of the smartest lock systems on the market.
At just 70 grams, with a handle thickness of 13.6 mm and a blade length of 7.65 cm, the Mini Freek remains compact, EDC-friendly – and still a standout.
This limited edition is made for those who want more than just a good knife – it’s for those who want a piece with a story, a bold identity, and serious collector appeal.
Whether it lives in your pocket or your display case.
Ultra-slim. Ultra-light. 100% Benchmade.
With the Mini Narrows, Benchmade shows how modern an EDC knife can be. This isn’t a compromise – it’s a statement. Built from solid titanium, equipped with a finely ground CPM-20CV blade and the trusted AXIS® Lock – a mechanism Benchmade once held the patent for and perfected over decades.
Slim. Precise. Made for daily carry.
At just 7.4 mm handle thickness, the Mini Narrows is one of the thinnest production folders Benchmade has ever released. But don’t let the slim profile fool you – the milled titanium handle offers all the stability you need without adding unnecessary bulk.
The CPM-20CV blade fits this design perfectly: clean lines, precise cutting performance, and ideal for anyone who wants a lightweight, high-end cutting tool for everyday use.
Engineering you don’t see – but feel.
The re-engineered Mini AXIS® Lock was specifically developed for this format. It’s ambidextrous, intuitive, and benefits from Benchmade’s long-standing experience with the AXIS system – a mechanism that’s become a standard in modern folder design thanks to their early innovation.
Paired with titanium backspacers, a reversible deep-carry clip, and clean aesthetics, the Mini Narrows is just as comfortable in a shirt pocket as it is in your daily EDC rotation.
For those who live by “less is more.”
The Benchmade 743 Mini Narrows is made for people who know exactly what they need – and leave everything else behind. A knife for purists, gearheads, and design lovers who appreciate clean engineering and subtle performance.
Mini Narrows = Maximum Benchmade. Minimal footprint. Made in USA.
