Overview

Introducing the limited-edition HMC Transient 3.2 TAD Edition, a knife meticulously designed as an extension of your hand. This eminently pocketable EDC boasts a CPM MagnaCut blade with a 63.5 hRC hardness, guaranteeing unparalleled toughness and enduring sharpness.

Experience smooth and robust blade deployment thanks to Skiff Made ceramic multi-row bearings and a ceramic detent ball. The knife offers versatile deployment options, featuring both a front flipper and a windowed thumb cutout.

Our edition showcases full titanium frames, enhanced with three fullers in the handle, and is available with either an OD Green or Black Cerakote. Every component, from the titanium back spacer to the pivot collars and the deep-carry titanium pocket clip is Cerakoated black on both variations. The custom titanium pocket clip has our signature topo engraved deep. Our logo mirrors HMC’s at the base of the blade. The Transient 3.2 TAD Edition sets a new standard for machining excellence, designed to be a lasting legacy.

Due to the nature of custom items, slight variations may occur.
