The Microtech Dirac OTF Automatic Knife Partially Serrated Apocalyptic D/E Black brings bold character and proven performance together in a compact automatic built for serious daily carry. Microtech designed the Dirac series with a sleek, modern profile that immediately stands apart from traditional out-the-front knives. Its most noticeable difference is the placement of the thumb slide on the front face of the handle rather than along the spine, giving your thumb a more natural position for quick, controlled deployment and retraction.
This version features a 2.875" premium steel dagger blade with Microtech’s distinctive Apocalyptic finish. Each blade carries a rugged, battle-worn look that’s slightly unique from one knife to the next, giving it a true one-of-a-kind character. The partially serrated edge adds real-world cutting versatility, biting aggressively into rope, cordage, and tough materials while the plain section handles clean slicing and everyday utility tasks with precision.
The Dirac’s dual-action out-the-front mechanism fires the blade open and retracts it smoothly using the same thumb-slide control. Microtech’s precision machining ensures crisp, dependable action every time the mechanism is engaged, delivering the reliable performance the brand is known for among automatic knife enthusiasts.
The handle is machined from anodized black 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, providing excellent durability without adding unnecessary weight. Its streamlined shape sits comfortably in the hand while maintaining a slim profile that carries easily in the pocket. A stainless steel ambidextrous tip-down pocket clip accommodates both left- and right-handed users, and the integrated glass breaker adds practical emergency capability.
At 4.375" closed and weighing just 2.3 ounces, the Dirac offers a lightweight carry with serious cutting performance. Built with precision and pride, it’s another outstanding automatic proudly made in the USA.
