Microtech Cypher II OTF Automatic Knife Serrated Black Dagger/Tan AUMT12423TA

The Microtech Cypher has always stood out as a precision-built OTF automatic with aggressive styling and serious pedigree. Now redesigned from the ground up for 2024, this latest version takes everything that made the original legendary and pushes it even further. At the core is a 4-inch fully serrated dagger blade, crafted from Microtech’s exclusive Böhler M390MK steel. Developed in collaboration with Böhler’s own metallurgists, this upgraded steel improves edge retention and corrosion resistance beyond what traditional M390 could offer. A black DLC (diamond-like carbon) finish adds even more durability while reducing glare in high-stakes environments.

This model carries a streamlined handle crafted from lightweight yet rugged 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, anodized in a tactical tan finish. Every detail is precision-machined for a confident grip and low-profile feel. The stainless steel pocket clip is ambidextrous for versatile carry, and a hardened glass breaker is built into the end—ready for emergencies. Microtech upgraded the hardware on this version with Torx fasteners for added strength and ease of maintenance.

At 5.6 inches closed, the Cypher remains long and lean, but deceptively light in the hand. It's fast on deployment, smooth in action, and backed by Microtech’s reputation for uncompromising American craftsmanship. Whether you’re carrying it for duty or daily reliability, this Gen II Cypher doesn’t just show up—it dominates.
