The Microtech Dirac OTF Automatic Knife Stonewash D/E Blue combines sleek modern styling with the lightning-fast performance Microtech’s out-the-front automatics are known for. Designed with a distinctive profile, the Dirac series separates itself from traditional OTF knives by placing the thumb slide on the front face of the handle instead of along the spine. This design gives your thumb a more natural position for smooth, controlled deployment and retraction while maintaining the clean, streamlined look that defines the Dirac line.
This model features a 2.875" premium steel dagger blade finished in rugged stonewash. The symmetrical double-edge profile provides excellent piercing capability and balanced cutting performance, while the standard edges deliver clean, precise slicing without interruption. The stonewash finish helps disguise wear and scratches from everyday use, giving the blade a practical working finish that still looks sharp.
The dual-action out-the-front mechanism launches the blade forward and retracts it just as quickly using the same thumb-slide control. Microtech’s renowned machining precision ensures crisp, reliable action with every deployment. The mechanism feels solid and confident, reflecting the tight tolerances and quality craftsmanship that have made Microtech a leader in the automatic knife world.
The handle is crafted from anodized blue 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, offering impressive durability while keeping the knife lightweight and comfortable in the pocket. Its smooth, ergonomic profile provides a secure grip without adding unnecessary bulk. A stainless steel ambidextrous tip-down pocket clip allows easy carry for both left- and right-handed users, and the integrated glass breaker adds an extra layer of emergency-ready functionality.
Measuring 4.375" closed and weighing just 2.3 ounces, the Dirac is compact enough for everyday carry while still delivering serious cutting capability. It’s a refined automatic built with precision and proudly made in the USA.
