The Microtech Dirac OTF Automatic stands out with a clean, modern profile and a distinctive front-mounted thumb slide that separates it from traditional out-the-front designs. Built for fast, controlled deployment in a compact everyday carry platform, it blends precision engineering with rugged reliability in a streamlined American-made package.
Its 2.875" dagger blade is crafted from premium M390MK stainless steel and finished in a durable Tan Cerakote coating that enhances corrosion resistance while delivering a subdued, field-ready look. The double-edged profile provides balanced cutting capability in a compact form, while the M390MK steel ensures excellent edge retention, toughness, and long-term performance in demanding use.
The Dirac operates as a dual-action OTF automatic, using the front-positioned thumb slide to deploy and retract the blade with speed and control. The mechanism is tuned for consistent, smooth operation, offering crisp action and dependable lockup with every cycle. The forward slide placement allows intuitive handling while keeping the knife’s overall footprint compact and efficient.
The handle is constructed from Tan Cerakote 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering a lightweight yet highly durable foundation designed for everyday carry. The Cerakote finish adds both wear resistance and a uniform tactical appearance, while maintaining a secure, comfortable grip in hand. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip provides versatile carry options, and an integrated glass breaker adds emergency utility without unnecessary 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 the brand’s commitment to precision machining, innovative design, and dependable performance in a compact OTF platform built for real-world demands.
