The Microtech Dirac OTF Automatic Knife Partially Serrated Stonewash D/E Blue delivers compact automatic performance with a bold splash of color and the precision engineering Microtech is known for. The Dirac series stands out with a sleek, modern profile that departs from traditional out-the-front knife designs. Instead of placing the actuator on the spine, Microtech positioned the thumb slide on the front face of the handle, giving your thumb a natural position for smooth, controlled deployment and retraction.
This model features a 2.875" premium steel dagger blade with a rugged stonewash finish. The double-edge design offers excellent piercing capability, while the partially serrated section adds extra bite when cutting rope, cordage, and other tough materials. The plain portion of the edge provides clean, controlled slicing for everyday tasks. The stonewash finish helps conceal scratches and wear, making the blade ideal for real-world use while maintaining a refined tactical look.
The Dirac operates with a dual-action out-the-front automatic mechanism that deploys and retracts the blade using the same thumb-slide control. Microtech’s tight tolerances and precision machining create the crisp, reliable action enthusiasts expect from one of the industry’s most respected automatic knife makers.
The handle is crafted from anodized blue 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, offering outstanding strength while keeping the knife lightweight and easy to carry. Its streamlined shape fits comfortably in the hand and provides confident control without adding unnecessary bulk. A stainless steel ambidextrous tip-down pocket clip ensures convenient carry for both left- and right-handed users, and the integrated glass breaker adds useful emergency capability.
At 4.375" closed and weighing just 2.3 ounces, the Dirac disappears easily into the pocket while still delivering impressive cutting power. Like every Microtech automatic, it’s proudly made in the USA with a focus on precision and durability.
