Microtech Tachyon III Balisong Knife 173-1VM Venom SN003

This long awaited Microtech production T3 (version 3 of the Tachyon Balisong) features tapered tubular T6 handles mil spec type 3 hard coat anodized in black that swing smooth and grip extra good in the hand - like no other production balisong made to date you will love this one.

Zero blade play. Check our additional image for the secret inside-the-pivot details on this one. This is a production version of the IKBS bearing system that makes this Microtech smooth as silk on the spin and unmatched by any other production balisong when it comes to a tight fitting handle that glides like glass on glass.



Extra cool features includes a spring latch to get that hardware out of the way so you can swing proper and removable belt clip. These knives can also be taken apart with the included pivot adjustment tool - you will likely void the warranty if you do that so don't - but if you did you would find that pictured bearing system inside in each pivot and note that Microtech brilliantly made one side of the pivot screws lock into the handle. That's great news in case for some reason you wanted to adjust these pivots or take the knife apart. You won't sit there watching the other side spin away as you turn the other against it as has been the case with most all production balisongs made to date.
