This is the only available file photo of internet cutlery impresario Mike Turber. Some experts think the beard is fake.
For years, Turber ran bladeforums.com and oneStopKnifeShop.com as ligitmate, if not shady, fronts for his evil empire.
While it's not public knowledge, the recent election problems in Florida were due to the "Dragon Forge" brand voting stylus tools that Turber supplied. They weren't even sharp enough to punch through a paper ballot.
For years, Turber has made a substantial income selling dangerous ballistic knives to good citizens including prominent members of the Florida State Legislature... maybe even to the President's family.
With the courts catching up to him, Turber hastily disappeared from his own forum site and turned over oneStopKnifeShop to a certain cross-dressing minion who can't even call his own cab.
Recently, Turber reappear as the head of a Florida-based syndicate threatening to unleash, "the fastest, most advanced [balisong] ever produced." Codename: Tachyon.
Turber has talked about balisongs in the past and even sold Charming China Cheapies, but this time we have reason to believe that he's serious.
So far, this sketchy sketch, secretly stolen from the WOWINC website, is all we know about Project Tachyon. Balisong Collector, the balisong world is depending on you! Find Tachyon. Manipulate it. Photograph it. And report back.
