Introducing the latest version of the Tachyon butterfly knife, the Microtech Tachyon III. This new model sets itself apart with its sleek design, featuring handles made from a single piece of milled material. It also includes a spring latch and a convenient pocket clip. The blade is designed with a non-sharpened swedge-ground tip and stylish milled grooves that display the Microtech logo, production date, and blade steel markings. But what truly sets this knife apart is its smooth action. The Tachyon III surpasses all expectations with its advanced ceramic ball-bearing pivot assembly, which eliminates any handle play and provides exceptional flipping performance. The pivots are equipped with Viton o-rings for load dampening, and the stainless steel retainer plates are heat treated for long-lasting durability. If you're in the market for other butterfly knives, we have a wide selection to choose from.
