Microtech Brachial Black Aluminum, Apocalyptic by Bastinelli and Tony Marfione switchblade (268A-10AP)

Brachial Black Aluminium, Apocalyptic premium automatic folding knife with a perfectly crafted Handle that provides unparalleled comfort during use. The hand-ground and sharpened blade, folded by skilled craftsmen, provides a tactile feel and exceptional cutting capabilities. The folder combines extremely strong construction, great materials and legendary workmanship for which the iconic Microtech brand is famous. The result of collaboration between Bastien Coves and Anthony Marfione, owner of Microtech Knives.

Blade - wide, Trailing Point type, strikingly aged with Apocalyptic finish. The expansive belly extends the length of the cutting edge relative to the length of the blade converging toward the needle-sharp tip. The solid thickness of the blade combined with a high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting properties combined with high durability. The knife can be opened with a large button. To maintain full control of the blade, there is an upper jimping, notched thumb rest on the back of the blade. The whole is locked with the proven and popular button lock.

Handle - made with excellent precision in 3D technology on CNC milling machines from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum. The texture and milling of the Handle surface makes the knife non-slip in the hand during use. There are notches (jimping) on the back of the Handle for a more secure grip. The ergonomic profile and milled single-position (right) solid clip, allow the knife to be carried discreetly in the pocket, in tip-down position (blade tip down). The clip bears the Microtech logo, serial number and production date.
