Description
Microtech is a name that has become a symbol of perfection in the world of knives. The brand was founded in 1994 by Anthony Marfione.
Alexander Radchenko has created a special custom version of knife, where Microtech’s classic design meets art and symbolism. The unique alligator leather finish transforms each piece into an art object.
The story of this model goes back to the legendary Battle of Thermopylae — the narrow pass where only 300 Spartans, led by King Leonidas, stood against the vast army of Persian King Xerxes. It was not only a struggle for land, but a fight for freedom, honor, and the right to remain unbroken.
When fewer than a hundred warriors remained, Xerxes summoned Leonidas for negotiations. He offered the king a chance togive up, in recognition of his bravery, to return home alive. Leonidas’ reply became immortal:
“Come and take it” .
Returning to his spartans, he said another phrase — harsher and uncompromising: “Kill them all.” It was not about hatred, but about readiness to fight to the very end, leaving the enemy no chance.
Thus was born the knife “Come and take it” (“Vade et cape”) — a symbol of courage, fearlessness, and resilience. A reminder that true strength lies not in numbers, but in determination and honor.
This is a custom model in North American alligator skin, crafted by designer Alexander Radchenko, where classic Microtech precision meets unique artistry.
And for those who seek the most extreme forms of self-expression — we are always open to custom requests. If any of our clients desires a knife engraved with the motto “Kill them all”, we will gladly bring that vision to life.
