SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Cypher II Outbreak Signature Series stands as a bold statement in precision engineering and design, combining high-performance materials with a striking finish. Measuring 8.5 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, this out-the-front automatic knife is built for those who demand speed, reliability, and strength in every deployment. Proudly made in the USA, the Cypher II showcases Microtech’s relentless commitment to advancing knife technology while retaining the craftsmanship that enthusiasts and professionals alike have come to trust.
The dagger blade is crafted from premium Böhler M390MK stainless steel, a modern super steel known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and resistance to wear and corrosion. Finished with a cerakote splatter effect unique to the Outbreak series, the blade not only delivers rugged performance but also stands out with its unapologetically aggressive look. With a flat grind and dagger profile, the Cypher II provides piercing power and cutting efficiency that excels in both practical use and collection-worthy display.
The handle is equally impressive, made from 6061-T6 aluminum with a cerakote Outbreak splatter finish that complements the blade’s styling. Measuring 4.95 inches in length, it features a screwless design for a clean, streamlined profile, with hidden fasteners that enhance both aesthetics and ergonomics. The only visible elements are the pocket clip and lanyard hole, keeping the lines sleek while maintaining full functionality. Weighing just 3.96 ounces, it’s lightweight enough for all-day carry yet sturdy enough for demanding use.
Deployment is powered by Microtech’s advanced dual-fuel drivetrain paired with an X-button thumb slide. This system uses a double-spring setup for smooth, reliable blade action, while the Crud Kutter milling in the thumb slide cutout prevents debris buildup for consistent performance in any environment. The Cypher II also features a glass breaker for emergency use and a reversible titanium pocket clip tipped with a silica carbide ball, ensuring secure carry with minimal wear to pockets.
As part of the Signature Series, this knife is produced in limited numbers, making it both a high-performance tool and a sought-after collectible. Rugged, refined, and unmistakably unique, the Cypher II Outbreak Signature Series is built to perform when it matters most while making a bold visual impact.
