CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Dirac Delta takes the sleek, streamlined profile of the original Dirac and scales it up for users who prefer a full-sized out-the-front automatic with added presence. This larger variant retains the clean symmetry and intuitive design Microtech built into the Dirac series, but with a heftier build and more blade to work with. At the heart of this model is a 3.79-inch dagger blade with a distinct Apocalyptic finish—an aggressive, worn look that sets it apart from traditional coatings while maintaining excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
The blade steel varies depending on production run, but Microtech typically uses top-tier materials like Böhler M390MK, known for excellent edge retention and reliability in hard-use scenarios. The dagger grind makes this blade ideal for piercing while keeping the edge symmetrical for balanced performance on either side.
The handle is crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, anodized in a bold red that adds high-visibility style to its tactical function. What separates the Dirac Delta from most OTFs is its front-mounted thumb slide, positioned on the face of the handle rather than the spine. This design allows for faster deployment and a more ergonomic grip, particularly for gloved hands or high-stress use.
The knife includes a hardened glass breaker at the base, an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip for carry in either orientation, and reliable dual-action automatic operation. Weighing just 2.37 ounces and measuring 4.33 inches closed, the Dirac Delta is a lightweight full-size OTF that doesn’t sacrifice strength for size. Proudly made in the USA.
