CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Cypher Gen II blends sleek design with battle-tested performance in one of the most refined out-the-front automatic knives available today. This version is built with a 4-inch drop point blade coated in durable black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon), offering a non-reflective finish that's as tough as it looks. It resists wear, corrosion, and friction with ease while delivering razor-sharp performance. The blade steel is Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK—developed in collaboration with Böhler engineers to enhance edge retention and corrosion resistance beyond the already-respected M390.
The drop point profile gives you a strong tip for piercing, a long belly for slicing, and solid control for precision cuts. Whether you're on the job or carrying for daily protection, this blade balances performance with stealth.
The handle is machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized in a deep OD green that brings rugged appeal to this tactical OTF. The frame is slim and angular, designed for fast deployment and a secure grip. Subtle contouring and chamfered edges ensure comfort in the hand without sacrificing control.
Equipped with upgraded Torx hardware, the Cypher Gen II also features a hardened glass breaker, a ceramic ball-tipped ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip for improved pocket retention, and Microtech's Krud Kutter grooves on the thumb slide to keep operation smooth and lint-free. The dual-action firing mechanism delivers fast, authoritative deployment and retraction every time.
At 5.6 inches closed and made entirely in the USA, this knife is a modern combat-ready tool with premium materials and tactical style to match.
