CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for precision carry with a low profile and refined edge, the Microtech Hera out-the-front automatic is designed to stay ready without drawing attention. Slim, lightweight, and purpose-driven, it’s a knife that fits seamlessly into everyday carry while still delivering the performance Microtech is known for.
The 3" partially serrated double-edge blade is crafted from premium steel and finished in a rugged black coating that resists wear and reduces glare. Its dagger-style profile offers excellent piercing capability, while the combination edge adds versatility for cutting through tougher materials. It’s compact, efficient, and built to handle real-world tasks without hesitation.
The dual-action out-the-front mechanism is fast and reliable, deploying and retracting with a smooth thumb slide. It locks up with authority, giving you confidence every time you engage it. The action is crisp and consistent, making one-handed operation second nature whether you’re opening or closing the blade.
The black 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handle keeps things lightweight while maintaining strength where it counts. Its slim design carries comfortably in the pocket, and the extra-wide pocket clip ensures it stays secure and discreet. A ceramic glider ball on the clip reduces wear on your pocket, allowing for smooth draw and reinsertion. A built-in lanyard hole adds another layer of carry versatility.
At 4.5" closed and weighing just 3.14 ounces, it’s easy to forget it’s there—until you need it. Every detail reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision manufacturing and dependable performance, all proudly made in the USA.
