Character and philosophy
STITCH® is a robust tactical OTF knife built with an emphasis on performance, grip confidence, and response speed. Compared to more subtle models, it feels more substantial and self-assured – it is a tool ready for tougher use.
The model operates in D/A (Double Action) mode – the blade extends and retracts with a single thumb movement using the side slider. The mechanism is extremely fast and requires controlled pressure, which contributes to safety during carry.

Maintenance and care
- After use, clean and dry the blade to preserve its long service life
