Microtech Exocet T/E Storm Trooper Signature White Aluminium, White M390 by Tony Marfione (158-1ST)

The white armor of the Empire's Stormtroopers is recognizable throughout the known galaxy. But how do they wear their Empire service credits? The answer is the Exocet T/E Storm Trooper Signature White Aluminum, White from the Signature Series line . It's a compact OTF (Out The Front) automatic knife with a “Money Clip” function. Operating in D/A mode, it features a hell of a fast blade extension mechanism. 100% made and assembled in the USA. Designed by Anthony Marfione, knifemaker and owner of Microtech Knives.

Signature Series - an elite line of Microtech products designed for buyers who are looking for a more exclusive touch to the much-loved Core Series production models (logo with claws on the knife). The highest quality materials and finishes are often used in the production of Signature Series knives. The line also includes themed knives such as Bounty Hunter, Memento Mori and Molon Labe. A distinctive feature is the marking with the dagger logo on the Handle and Anthony Marfione's signature on the clip.

M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - machine ground T/E (Tanto Edge) type, sharpened on one side. Covered with a white coating, characteristic of the Storm Trooper series. The blade was brought out with a high flat gr ind (Flat Grind), providing excellent cutting properties. As a result, while maintaining high strength, the knife has excellent piercing properties. The strong mechanism of extending / retracting the blade with the help of a moled Thumb Slide, a stepped slide under the thumb requires for safety the application of a specific force to overcome the resistance of the spring. The opening method provides a seamless opening for both right and left-handed people. The length of less than 2” makes the knife legal in many countries with restrictions on carrying knives based precisely on blade length.

Handle - made with excellent precision in 3D technology on CNC milling machines, from white-coated 6061-T6 aluminum. There are notches (jimping) on the back and bottom of the Handle for a more secure grip. Screws, slide and glass striker in black, in contrast to the white Handle. A two-position (right/left) solid deep-carry clip , decorated with the six-pointed crest of Sheev Palpatine's Galactic Empire, allow the knife to be carried discreetly in a pocket, in a tip-down (blade tip-down ) position. The clip also features the Microtech logo, serial number and date of manufacture. Thanks to the large width of the clip, it can act as a clip for carrying cash! Handle is finished with glass breaker, solid steel triangle, with a hole for interweaving decorative cord.
