Overview

The HMC Transient Elite Skeleton 2.9 TAD Edition is a knife meticulously designed as an extension of your hand. This eminently pocketable EDC boasts a show stopping  Mike Norris Taipan Damascus blade with a 63.5 HRC hardness, guaranteeing unparalleled toughness and enduring sharpness.

Experience smooth and robust blade deployment thanks to Skiff ceramic multi-row bearings and a ceramic detent ball. The knife offers versatile deployment options: 

  •  OD Green features both a front flipper and a windowed thumb cutout. 



Our edition showcases skeletonized G10 frames, revealing the milled topo titanium liner below. Every titanium component, from the back spacer to the pivot collars and the deep-carry titanium pocket clip is blackened on this one of a kind knfe. The blackened titanium liner has our signature topo engraved deep. Our logo mirrors HMC’s at the base of the drop point damascus blade. The Transient 3.9 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.
