Review of TEKTO’s F1 Alpha EOTECH Edition Tactical Knife

The University of Michigan created Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM) in 1972 as a stand-alone non-profit organization with roots in military and environmental research, contributing to the development of remote sensing, radar, and holography applications. ERIM’s subsidiary, EOTECH, was established in 1995 to apply holographic technology to small firearms sights.

While it produces holographic and hybrid sights, magnifiers, rifle scopes, pistol sights, sensors, and cameras, EOTECH’s mission also includes other high-performance weapon accessories. It has now partnered with TEKTO, a recognized force in the tactical knife field, designing “purpose-built knives for life’s most demanding missions.”
