SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, bringing back one of the most respected compact automatics ever produced. This classic out-the-side design helped establish Microtech’s reputation for precision machining and dependable performance, and collectors have been asking for its return for years. The revival delivers the same compact power and refined engineering that made the original a legend.
The Mini UDT is equipped with a 2.37" premium steel drop point blade with a black coated finish and a clean standard edge. The plain edge offers excellent slicing performance and easy sharpening, making it a practical choice for daily cutting tasks. A push-button automatic mechanism fires the blade open instantly and locks it firmly into place, delivering the fast, reliable action that Microtech fans expect.
The handle is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured olive drab green for a rugged, tactical look. The texturing provides a confident grip without adding bulk, while the durable aluminum construction keeps the knife lightweight and tough. At just 3.25" closed and weighing only 1.2 ounces, the Mini UDT disappears easily into a pocket and stays comfortable throughout the day. A built-in lanyard hole adds another convenient carry option and allows for quick retrieval when needed.
Microtech’s attention to detail shows in every surface and mechanism. The Mini UDT reflects decades of American knife-making expertise, combining premium materials with precise engineering to create a compact automatic built to perform.
