Microtech Exocet OTF Automatic Knife Black Coated T/E Merlot AUMT1581MR

Built for discreet carry with a more angular, hard-use profile, the Microtech Exocet OTF Automatic Knife Black Coated Tanto Merlot delivers precision performance in a compact, tactical package. Its 1.94" tanto blade is crafted from premium steel and finished in a durable black coating, providing a low-profile, non-reflective surface that resists wear. The tanto geometry excels at piercing and controlled cuts, offering added strength at the tip for tougher tasks.

The dual-action out-the-front mechanism deploys and retracts with a smooth, decisive thumb slide, locking securely in both positions with the precision Microtech is known for. Designed to stay out of the way until it’s needed, the Exocet features an extra-wide money clip that doubles as a pocket clip, ensuring secure retention and fast access in a slim, unobtrusive form.

Its anodized Merlot 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handle brings a rich, refined tone that stands out while maintaining lightweight strength and durability. At just 3.87" closed and weighing only 2.75 ounces, it’s easy to carry all day without bulk. The ambidextrous stainless steel clip supports multiple carry options, while the integrated glass breaker and lanyard hole add versatility for emergency use or customized carry setups.

Engineered to meet California blade length standards, this Exocet offers a more carry-conscious option in many areas, though it’s always wise to check local laws before carrying. Proudly made in the USA, it reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision engineering, durability, and dependable performance.
