SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Cypher II D/E Signature Series in Purple X-51 Standard is a precision-engineered out-the-front automatic built for those who demand high performance, sleek design, and uncompromising reliability. Born from Microtech’s pursuit of innovation and quality, this knife is a bold evolution of the original Cypher platform—leaner, faster, and tougher than ever.
At the core is a 3.5" double-edged dagger blade made from premium M390MK steel, known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and hardness. The sleek black finish adds a tactical edge while reducing glare. Whether you're cutting rope, slicing through packaging, or just putting your gear through its paces, this blade handles it all with authority.
The Cypher II features Microtech’s Gen III X-button dual-action thumb slide, which fires the blade open and closed with the kind of smooth authority you only get from a double-spring, dual fuel drivetrain. Integrated into the action is the proprietary Crud Kutter system—engineered milling in the thumb slide cut-out that helps break up lint and debris, ensuring your blade fires reliably, even in less-than-clean conditions. This isn’t just a high-end showpiece—it’s a working tool, built to perform when you need it most.
The handle is made from 6061-T6 aluminum in a distinctive Purple X-51 Standard finish, giving the knife a bold look without sacrificing durability or grip. Hidden fasteners create a clean, uninterrupted silhouette, while the handle’s lines and milling offer subtle traction without getting in the way. At the base, you'll find a robust glass breaker and a reversible titanium pocket clip fitted with a silica carbide ball for smooth retention and quick deployment, whether you're carrying left or right handed.
With an overall length of 8.5" and a weight of just 3.95 ounces, the Cypher II is built for everyday carry without compromise. Whether it's clipped in your pocket or riding in a gear bag, it’s ready the moment you need it.
Made proudly in the USA, the Microtech Cypher II combines premium materials, cutting-edge engineering, and battle-ready aesthetics in a package that performs far beyond the average OTF. Order it today from SMKW!
