Built for serious cutting power and unmistakable tactical presence, the Microtech DOC Killswitch brings together the design influence of two legendary knife makers in a hard-hitting automatic. This out-the-side automatic deploys instantly with a push of the button, firing the blade open and locking it solidly into place. The action is fast, authoritative, and engineered to deliver dependable performance whenever rapid deployment is needed.
The 3.75" drop point blade is crafted from premium steel and finished in a clean satin treatment that highlights the precision grind and rugged profile of the blade. A fully serrated edge provides aggressive cutting performance designed to rip through rope, webbing, heavy cordage, and other tough materials with ease. The drop point profile adds excellent tip strength and control, giving the blade both power and precision for demanding cutting situations.
The DOC, short for Death on Contact, was developed through a collaboration between Anthony Marfione and Mick Strider, two names known for creating knives that blend overbuilt strength with unmistakable style. This automatic version is known as the Killswitch, named for the distinctive fire-safe selector integrated into the design. Much like a rifle safety, the switch flips between white for safe and red for fire, adding both visual impact and functional control to the knife’s operation.
The handle is machined from textured black aircraft-grade aluminum, providing impressive strength while maintaining a secure grip in challenging conditions. The aggressive texturing helps keep the knife firmly planted in your hand during hard use, and the integrated lanyard hole offers an additional carry option. Measuring 5.25" closed and weighing 6.8 ounces, the DOC Killswitch delivers a solid, confidence-inspiring feel without sacrificing everyday carry practicality.
Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision machining, premium materials, and uncompromising craftsmanship.
