Microtech: double action precision!

Since 1994 a guy called Tony Marfione has been making some extraordinary knives, first in Florida, then latterly in Pennsylvania and South Carolina. Such is his technical cognizance that in 2007 he introduced a US version of the Steyr AUG known as the MSAR STG556 in both civilian and military formats. The Steyr and its variants have long been adopted by the armed forces of Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Ecuador, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malaysia, New Zealand, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Pakistan, the Falkland Islands Defence Force and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and has famed appearances in cinema including Luc Besson’s La Femme Nikita.  What a great gun but possibly ahead of it’s time on the American market, until, some solid promotion and availability by Ster presumably squeezed out Marfione’s rifle in early 2015. Today The iconic bullpup-style Steyr AUG has become one of the most recognizable rifles in the world, and Marfione had the foresight and engineering knowhow to realize the brilliance of the design way back when. Fast forward to today and that same clairvoyance translates to his extraordinarily beautiful and simultaneously utilitarian knives. Furthermore, these blades are the epitome of patriotic - made from 100% American materials and labor, 95% in house manufacturing, microscopic tolerances and a lifetime warranty, it’s American weapon-art at it’s finest and amply provides full vindication for the MSRP. Marfione's OTF and D/A autos have become cult figures and benchmarks of robustness making them a choice of military operators (he has even designed knives specifically for use by the US Military). And custom knifemakers, such as Greg Lightfoot, have remarked that Marfione’s engineering tolerances give Microtech the same quality as a handmade custom. So, if perchance your scouring the market for a lifetime knife that drips cool and provides all the dependable pocket security you desire, take a close look at Microtech, we think you’ll not be disappointed.
