Sebastijan Berenji, aka Borka Blades is an outstanding custom knife maker who in the last couple of years has burst onto the scene with a vengeance. He has spent time around master knife maker Anthony Marfione honing his craft and it shows. Initially known for some killer fixed blades like the SRambit, SB-1, and the tactical folder called the “Stitch”. Sebastijan’s knives are highly sought after in the custom knife world.

This Microtech Stitch model has a Bohler M390MK steel wharncliffe style blade with a stonewash finish. The aircraft grade aluminum handle is knurled for superior gripping properties, and it has a substantial choil and thumb ramp that provides an excellent cutting platform. The handle has a black anodized finish. This Stitch model has a bead blasted finish hardware and pocket clip, that finishes off the exquisite design. Note: Pictures show a Carpenter 204P steel blade. Current models have Bohler M390MK steel blades.

Bohler M390MK Steel: Bohler M390MK is an exclusive steel to Microtech Knives from Bohler. Microtech worked closely with the engineers at Bohler to tweak the properties of M390 for better edge retention, corrosion resistance, and polishing. It has a more controlled and higher carbon content which lends itself to more consistent heat treat and a few other advantages. It’s still M390, with tweaked carbon content modifications.
