Product Description

The Stitch was already one of the most distinctive folders in production — a Borka Blades collaboration with a silhouette that nobody mistakes for anything else. The Stitch RAM-LOK® Marfione Select takes that platform into a different tier entirely: hand-selected materials, Anthony Marfione's personal finish curation, and a build level that exists between production and custom.

This 169RL-10MS6 configuration centers on the M390MK blade — Microtech's proprietary kiln-treated version of Böhler M390 that pushes the steel beyond its standard performance ceiling. M390MK delivers exceptional edge retention that outlasts standard M390, with the same outstanding corrosion resistance and fine-grained microstructure that makes this alloy the benchmark for premium production knives. The 3.75" blade wears a stonewash finish that masks use and reduces glare, with a standard plain edge ground for maximum cutting versatility. At 0.16" thick, it carries authority without feeling blocky.

The handle is flat slab-side titanium anodized in ice blue — a clean, uniform color without the visual texture of a frag or machined pattern, letting the material and color carry the aesthetic on their own terms. Bronze titanium accent hardware provides warm contrast against the ice blue slab, and the backspacer and fasteners are double vapor blast stainless steel — a fine matte surface texture that unifies the hardware palette. The RAM-LOK® bar lock mechanism delivers ambidextrous lockup with the Iconic X Button deployment for controlled, repeatable action.

Microtech Stitch RAM-LOK Marfione Select 169RL-10MS6: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Microtech Stitch RAM-LOK Marfione Select, answered by the Knifeworks team.

What is M390MK steel, and how does it differ from standard M390?

M390MK is Microtech’s proprietary kiln-treated version of Böhler M390. The kiln treatment process enhances the steel’s hardness beyond what standard M390 achieves through conventional heat treatment, resulting in improved edge retention and wear resistance while preserving M390’s exceptional corrosion resistance and fine carbide structure. In practical terms, an M390MK blade will hold its working edge longer than standard M390 under equivalent use, and it resharpens cleanly on quality diamond or ceramic systems. It is the highest-performing steel in Microtech’s production lineup.

What is the Marfione Select tier, and what makes it different from standard Microtech production?

Marfione Select is Anthony Marfione’s personal curation tier — a level above the standard Microtech production run where specific finish combinations, handle materials, and accent hardware are hand-selected and curated by Microtech’s CEO. These configurations are not available in the standard catalog and typically feature premium handle materials (slab titanium, frag titanium, specialized anodization), elevated hardware treatments (double vapor blast stainless, colored titanium accents), and finish pairings that reflect Marfione’s design direction. They occupy a position between production and full custom.

How does the RAM-LOK® mechanism work on the Stitch?

The RAM-LOK® is Microtech’s proprietary bar lock mechanism, distinct from a standard liner lock or frame lock. A spring-loaded bar engages a recess in the blade tang when fully open, providing secure, positive lockup that is ambidextrous to disengage. The Iconic X Button on the handle spine is the deployment and release control for the RAM-LOK® system, giving the Stitch its distinctive manual action that sits between a traditional thumb stud deployment and a more mechanical system. The result is deliberate, controlled, and consistent.

What is the Stitch, and who designed it?

The Stitch is a collaboration between Microtech Knives and Borka Blades, the custom knife brand of designer Sebastian Berenji. The distinctive Stitch blade profile — with its elongated geometry, characteristic tip shape, and visual identity — is Berenji’s design, brought into production through Microtech’s manufacturing infrastructure. The Stitch RAM-LOK® replaces the original Stitch’s lock mechanism with Microtech’s proprietary RAM-LOK® bar lock system, giving the platform enhanced lockup while retaining the Stitch design DNA.

What does "slab side titanium" mean, and how does this handle feel compared to frag-pattern variants?

Slab side titanium means the handle scales are flat, uncontoured plates of titanium — no milling, no frag pattern, no relief cuts, no textured machining. The visual result is a clean, minimalist surface where the anodized color (ice blue on the 169RL-10MS6) is the primary design element, uninterrupted by surface texture. In hand, a slab-side handle is smoother than a frag-pattern variant but still provides secure grip from the titanium’s inherent surface properties and the handle’s ergonomic profile. The slab configuration reads as cleaner and more refined visually, which is a deliberate aesthetic choice in this Marfione Select configuration.

Is the Microtech Stitch RAM-LOK covered by a warranty?

Yes. Microtech backs the Stitch RAM-LOK with their Limited Lifetime Warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship. If a covered defect is found, Microtech will repair or replace the knife at their discretion. The warranty does not cover damage from abuse, modifications, or normal wear. Because Knifeworks is an authorized Microtech dealer, every 169RL-10MS6 purchased here is fully warranty-eligible.
