Microtech Special Stormtrooper Tachyon III Balisong Butterfly Knife 4.5" White ELMAX Bowie Blade and Aluminum Handles, Latch Lock - 173-1ST

Description

MT1731ST: 173-1ST Tachyon III Balisong, White Standard

Microtech Knives

Released in 2012, the Tachyon II was modeled after Microtech's original balisong butterfly knife, the Tachyon from 2000. Re-engineered to perfection in 2015, the Tachyon III reflects the ideal evolution of Microtech's balisong line. The updated Tachyon III is a gorgeous, full-size butterfly knife with an extremely solid build and a totally refined look.

The aluminum handles are machined from a solid billet with a white finish, dubbing this model the Stormtrooper. A redesigned silicon nitride race bearing system creates a flawless flipping mechanism. There is also no flex in the handles which shows that not only is this bearing system smooth, it's very solidly designed as well as manufactured. The recurved 4.5" ELMAX stainless steel blade has a white finish accented by the black of the traditional Marfione fuller. The overall length of the knife has been significantly lengthened, generating an improved balance compared to its predecessor and this model includes a black spring pocket clip emblazoned with a very cool Imperial Crest logo which was the six-spoked symbol of Sheev Palpatine's Galactic Empire.
