Microtech Dirac OTF Automatic Knife – Natural Clear Aluminum Handle with Black Dagger Blade
The Microtech Dirac represents a precise blend of modern innovation and compact utility, engineered for those who demand reliability and quick access in a sleek, low-profile design. As Microtech’s first OTF (Out-The-Front) automatic knife to feature a face-mounted slide—positioned ergonomically on the handle's flat side rather than the top, Dirac delivers smooth, ambidextrous deployment that feels intuitive in either hand.
Its handle, crafted from lightweight yet durable aluminum, is finished in Natural Clear anodizing. The raw, industrial appearance offers a clean, honest aesthetic that appeals to minimalists and professionals alike. The symmetrical profile ensures a secure grip, while the milled edges enhance control and comfort during use. At just 4.0 inches closed and weighing only 2.3 ounces, the Dirac is purpose-built for discreet everyday carry without sacrificing performance.
The blade is where Dirac’s true edge is revealed. Made from high-performance Bohler M390 stainless steel, the 2.88-inch dagger blade features a black coated finish that enhances corrosion resistance and reduces reflection. One edge is fully serrated, tearing through fibrous material such as rope or webbing with ease, while the other edge remains plain for clean slicing. This dual-edge configuration offers versatility for both utility and defensive use.
A dual-action thumb slide on the face of the handle controls deployment and retraction with speed and authority. Backed by Microtech’s proven internal mechanism, the Dirac locks up with confidence and resets just as fast. A glass breaker tip adds emergency readiness, and a black ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip—configured for tip-down carry—rounds out its field-ready features.
Proudly made in the USA, the Dirac is an ideal entry point for those new to OTF knives, while seasoned users will appreciate its refined mechanics and practical design. Whether for professional duty, collection, or everyday use, the Dirac proves that compact doesn’t mean compromised.
