The Microtech Dirac OTF Automatic Knife Partially Serrated Black D/E Blue blends sleek engineering, striking color, and dependable automatic performance in a compact everyday carry package. Microtech designed the Dirac series with a clean, modern profile that immediately sets it apart from traditional out-the-front knives. Instead of placing the actuator along the spine, the thumb slide sits on the front face of the handle, giving your thumb a natural, comfortable position for quick blade deployment and retraction.
This version features a 2.875" premium steel dagger blade with a durable black coated finish. The double-edge profile offers excellent piercing capability, while the partially serrated edge adds serious cutting versatility. Serrations bite aggressively into rope, webbing, and tough materials, while the plain section of the edge provides controlled slicing for everyday tasks. The black coating enhances corrosion resistance and gives the blade a bold tactical appearance.
The Dirac’s dual-action out-the-front mechanism delivers fast, reliable performance with every use. A simple push of the thumb slide launches the blade forward, and another pull retracts it smoothly back into the handle. Microtech’s reputation for tight tolerances and precision machining ensures crisp, confident action you can depend on.
The handle is machined from anodized blue 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, providing outstanding strength while keeping the knife lightweight and comfortable for daily carry. The streamlined handle profile offers a secure grip without unnecessary bulk. A stainless steel ambidextrous tip-down pocket clip makes it easy to carry on either side, and the integrated glass breaker adds an extra layer of practical emergency utility.
Measuring 4.375" closed and weighing just 2.3 ounces, the Dirac carries easily while still delivering impressive cutting capability. Every detail reflects Microtech’s commitment to quality and performance, and it’s proudly made in the USA.
