Asking for a friend as these threads tend to go sideways

anyways he has a new microtech stitch from a one of the top 2 largest authorized dealers, paid full price of $450 but on the blade it is dated 07/2023. Shouldn't my buddy expect a new model instead of one that was in a box for years and the dealer said don't worry about it.

The Microtech Stitch had issues with the lock face which was discovered when people gave it a spine wack test. The blade lock would sometimes fail. Microtech revised the lock in April of 2024 to correct this. I would be concerned about that especially if paying full price for “new old stock”.

Edit: If it’s an auto,it’s good to go. This only applies to the Ram Lok.

It's a knife, not milk. There is no such thing as "new old stock", it's either new or used.

Now the fact it had a design defect is another matter, but it had that defect on the day it was made, age has nothing to do with it.

Much ado over nothing, IMO.

There IS such a thing as "new old stock" just because someone doesn't acknowledge it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Now ifvthere is a recall on it for some reason..thats a seperate issue thatnnedds to be delt with.
