Microtech DOC Killswitch Automatic Knife Apocalyptic S/E Black MT15310AP

Built with bold design and uncompromising performance, the Microtech DOC Killswitch showcases the powerful collaboration between two of the knife world’s most respected designers. This out-the-side automatic fires into action with the push of a button, deploying the blade instantly and locking it securely in place. The action is fast, crisp, and built to deliver dependable performance when quick deployment counts.

The 3.75" drop point blade is crafted from premium steel and finished with Microtech’s distinctive Apocalyptic finish, a special one-of-a-kind treatment that gives the blade a rugged, battle-worn appearance while helping conceal signs of wear from hard use. Its plain edge provides clean, efficient slicing performance for everyday cutting tasks and demanding utility work. The drop point profile offers excellent tip strength and control, making it a versatile blade shape trusted for precision as well as durability.

The DOC, short for Death on Contact, was created through a collaboration between Anthony Marfione and Mick Strider, two names synonymous with hard-use knives and unmistakable design. This automatic variant carries the name Killswitch, inspired by the unique fire-safe selector incorporated into the knife. Much like a rifle safety, the switch flips between white for safe and red for fire, adding a distinctive visual element while providing clear control over the knife’s readiness.

The handle is machined from textured black aircraft-grade aluminum, providing impressive strength while ensuring a secure grip in demanding conditions. The aggressive texture helps keep the knife firmly planted in your hand during use, and the integrated lanyard hole offers an additional carry option. At 5.25" closed and weighing 6.8 ounces, the DOC Killswitch delivers a solid, confidence-inspiring feel while remaining practical for everyday carry.

Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision machining, premium materials, and uncompromising craftsmanship.
