The Microtech Exocet II OTF Automatic Knife combines compact functionality, precision engineering, and practical everyday-carry convenience in a distinctive design. Known for its unconventional profile, the Exocet II pairs the quick accessibility of an out-the-front automatic knife with the added utility of an integrated money clip. This model features an Apocalyptic-finished blade and an OD Green handle, creating a tactical, field-inspired appearance that complements Microtech's signature attention to detail.
The 2.34-inch double-edge blade is crafted from M390MK stainless steel, a premium material valued for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Both edges feature a plain cutting edge, providing a continuous cutting surface for everyday utility tasks. The symmetrical double-edge profile gives the blade its distinctive appearance, while the Apocalyptic finish adds a weathered, battle-worn character that sets this model apart from traditional satin or polished blades. This combination of premium steel and rugged styling makes the Exocet II an appealing addition to any Microtech collection.
The Exocet II features a double-action out-the-front mechanism that allows the blade to deploy and retract through operation of its firing control. This compact mechanism provides convenient access while preserving the knife's streamlined proportions. Microtech's focus on precision manufacturing and innovative mechanical design is reflected in the platform's distinctive construction, offering the recognizable functionality that automatic knife enthusiasts appreciate.
One of the Exocet II's most notable features is its integrated money clip. Designed to serve two purposes, the clip allows users to carry folded bills alongside a compact cutting tool without needing a separate accessory. Its slim profile makes it easy to incorporate into an everyday-carry setup, while its combination of automatic functionality and money-clip convenience makes it a practical option for those who value efficient use of space.
The handle is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, a lightweight yet durable material valued for its strength and suitability for precision-built equipment. Its OD Green finish reinforces the knife's tactical character while providing a distinctive contrast to the Apocalyptic blade. The aluminum construction helps maintain a manageable carry weight without sacrificing the solid feel expected from a premium Microtech design.
Measuring 5.69 inches overall, the Exocet II delivers useful functionality in a compact format. Combining M390MK stainless steel, a double plain-edge blade, an OD Green aluminum handle, and an integrated money clip, this automatic knife offers a distinctive blend of practical utility and recognizable Microtech styling.
