The Microtech Glykon is a standout in the world of out-the-front automatic knives, engineered for peak performance and built with precision. Named after the Roman serpent god, this model embodies power, innovation, and tactical versatility. At the heart of its design is the patent-pending Tri-Slide Actuation System, a first for Microtech. This unique feature offers ambidextrous operation through three deployment points—left-side, right-side, or the primary top slide—giving users unmatched control and convenience.
The Glykon is equipped with a 3.75" black-finished Bohler M390MK steel tanto blade, offering superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and piercing capability. The tanto design excels in strength and precision, making it ideal for demanding tasks in both everyday and tactical environments. The firing mechanism is driven by the tri-sided X-Button, enhancing functionality while delivering a smooth, consistent action.
Built to endure, the knife’s internal components are coated with Nickel Boron, providing increased resistance to wear and corrosion. This advanced coating ensures long-term reliability and a consistently fluid deployment. The handle is crafted from black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, reinforced with titanium overlays for added strength and aesthetic refinement. These overlays are removable, giving users the option to customize the knife to their preference.
Designed with practicality in mind, the Glykon includes a reversible tip-down titanium pocket clip and a lanyard hole for flexible carry configurations. Its ergonomic handle promotes a secure grip, suitable for high-pressure use or casual carry. For those who value maintenance and precision, the Glykon incorporates Torx screw construction—allowing at-home adjustments and servicing, a rare feature among Microtech’s lineup.
Weighing 5.23 ounces and measuring 5.25" closed (9" overall), the Glykon delivers a balanced feel without compromising on size or authority. Every detail reflects Microtech’s commitment to craftsmanship, reliability, and innovation. Proudly made in the USA, the Glykon is a testament to American design and engineering, built for those who demand the best in a cutting tool.
