Microtech Dirac OTF Automatic Knife Black Partially Serrated D/E Purple AUMT2272PU

The Microtech Dirac OTF Automatic delivers a sleek, modern take on the out-the-front platform, defined by its distinctive front-mounted thumb slide and compact, performance-driven design. Built for fast deployment, controlled handling, and everyday carry practicality, it combines precision machining with rugged materials in a streamlined American-made package.

Its 2.875" partially serrated dagger blade is crafted from premium M390MK stainless steel and finished in a durable black DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating. The DLC finish enhances wear resistance, reduces glare, and adds a deep, uniform appearance suited for demanding environments. The partially serrated edge increases cutting versatility, offering additional bite for rope, webbing, and fibrous materials while retaining the control and piercing capability of the dagger profile. M390MK steel ensures excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.

The Dirac operates as a dual-action OTF automatic, with the front-positioned thumb slide providing smooth, intuitive deployment and retraction. The mechanism is engineered for consistent, confident action, delivering crisp operation and secure lockup with each cycle. Its unique control placement keeps the design compact while allowing fast, natural engagement under pressure.

The handle is built from purple anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, offering a lightweight yet highly durable foundation with a striking, custom aesthetic. The anodized finish provides both visual depth and surface durability, while maintaining a comfortable, secure grip. A stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip supports versatile carry, and an integrated glass breaker adds practical emergency utility without increasing bulk. At 4.375" closed and weighing just 2.3 ounces, it remains highly pocketable while retaining full automatic performance capability.

Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech Dirac reflects a commitment to precision engineering, innovative design, and dependable real-world performance in a compact OTF platform built for daily use.
