Description:

Unlike the hypothetical faster-than-light Tachyon particle, the Tachyon Balisong from Microtech is factual, proven and a reality.

The latest generation of the Tachyon butterfly knife, the Tachyon III, has arrived, and it's insane! It's quite different in construction than the previous Tachyon models with milled, integral titanium channel handles, a spring latch, and retractable pocket clip. Designed to stay out of the way while you manipulate the knife, the minimal pocket clip is the first of its kind. What would a brilliant design and premium materials be without that smooth action you crave? The Tachyon III exceeds expectations with an advanced ball-bearing pivot assembly.
