The Microtech Exocet II Wharncliffe OTF Automatic Knife combines precision engineering, compact functionality, and tactical styling in a purpose-built design for everyday carry.

Featuring a black tactical handle and a streamlined Wharncliffe blade profile, this compact knife delivers practical utility in a design that stands apart from traditional everyday-carry options.
The 2.34-inch blade is crafted from M390MK stainless steel, a premium material valued for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The Wharncliffe profile features a straight cutting edge and a controlled point, making it well suited to precise everyday cutting tasks. This model features a single plain cutting edge, providing a clean, uninterrupted cutting surface without serrations. Its distinctive blade shape and practical edge configuration complement the compact proportions of the Exocet II.
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 innovative design offers convenient access while preserving the knife's slim overall proportions. Microtech's focus on precision manufacturing and carefully engineered internal components is reflected in the platform's streamlined construction, making it an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate distinctive automatic knife designs.
One of the Exocet II's defining features is its integrated money clip. This multifunctional addition allows the knife to carry folded bills while serving as a compact cutting tool, reducing the need for a separate accessory. Its slim profile makes it easy to incorporate into an everyday-carry setup without adding unnecessary bulk. The combination of automatic functionality and money-clip convenience makes the Exocet II a practical option for users 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 black tactical finish gives the knife a clean, understated appearance that complements the Wharncliffe blade design. The aluminum construction helps maintain a manageable carry weight while providing the solid feel expected from a premium Microtech product.
Measuring 5.69 inches overall, the Exocet II delivers useful functionality in a compact format. Combining M390MK stainless steel, a single plain-edge Wharncliffe blade, a black 6061-T6 aluminum handle, and an integrated money clip, this automatic knife brings together distinctive styling and practical everyday utility.
