Built with serious attitude and uncompromising performance, the Microtech DOC Killswitch represents the powerful collaboration between two legendary knife designers. This out-the-side automatic deploys instantly with a push of the button, firing the blade open and locking it firmly into place. The action is crisp, fast, and engineered for dependable operation when speed and reliability matter most.
The 3.75" drop point blade is crafted from premium steel and finished in a rugged stonewash that helps hide scratches from hard use while giving the blade a tough, work-ready appearance. Its plain edge provides clean, efficient slicing performance, making it ideal for everyday cutting tasks and utility work. The drop point profile delivers excellent tip strength and control, offering a versatile blade shape capable of handling both precise cuts and demanding jobs.
The DOC—short for Death on Contact—was developed through a collaboration between Anthony Marfione and Mick Strider, two names known for creating knives built for strength, performance, and unmistakable style. This automatic version is known as the Killswitch, named after its distinctive fire-safe selector incorporated into the design. Much like a rifle safety, the switch flips between white for safe and red for fire, giving the knife a bold visual signature while providing clear control over deployment readiness.
The handle is machined from textured black aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering impressive strength while maintaining a secure grip in demanding conditions. The aggressive texturing helps keep the knife firmly planted in your hand, and the integrated lanyard hole offers another practical carry option. Measuring 5.25" closed and weighing 6.8 ounces, the DOC Killswitch offers a solid, confidence-inspiring feel without sacrificing pocket carry practicality.
Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision manufacturing, premium materials, and uncompromising craftsmanship.
