SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Mini UDT is back, and collectors couldn't be happier. This legendary out-the-side automatic helped define Microtech’s early reputation for precision, reliability, and hard-use performance. Demand for the original never faded, and its return brings one of the most sought-after classic designs back into the hands of modern knife enthusiasts.
Built for quick deployment and dependable carry, the Mini UDT features a 2.37" premium steel drop point blade with a black coated finish. The compact blade profile is built for versatility, offering excellent control for detailed cutting tasks while maintaining the strength needed for daily use. A push-button automatic mechanism fires the blade open with authority and locks it firmly into place, giving you instant readiness with a simple press.
The handle keeps things lightweight without sacrificing durability. Textured olive drab green aircraft-grade aluminum scales provide a confident grip and a clean, tactical look that perfectly complements the black-coated blade. The compact frame measures just 3.25" closed and weighs an incredibly light 1.2 ounces, making it an easy everyday carry that won’t weigh down your pocket. A lanyard hole adds extra versatility for carry options or quick retrieval.
Microtech built its reputation on meticulous machining and premium materials, and the Mini UDT continues that tradition. Every edge, contour, and component reflects the company’s commitment to high-performance American knife manufacturing.
Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the world’s best online knife store, is also a true Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store. Located in the Great Smoky Mountains, its legendary showroom draws more than 1.5 million visitors every year who come to experience a knife selection unlike anywhere else.
