The Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, bringing one of the most respected compact automatics in knife history back into production. This classic out-the-side design helped establish Microtech’s reputation for precision engineering and uncompromising reliability. Collectors have been asking for its return for years, and this revival delivers the same compact performance and refined mechanics that made the original Mini UDT a legend.
This version features a 2.37" premium steel drop point blade with a clean satin finish and a partially serrated edge. The satin blade offers a timeless look while the combination edge boosts versatility. The plain portion handles precise slicing and everyday cutting tasks, while the serrations grip and power through rope, webbing, and other tough materials with ease. A push-button automatic mechanism fires the blade open instantly and locks it firmly into place, delivering the crisp, reliable action Microtech is known for.
The handle is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured black for a sleek, tactical appearance. The textured surface provides a confident grip without adding bulk, while the aluminum construction keeps the knife extremely lightweight and durable. Measuring just 3.25" closed and weighing only 1.2 ounces, the Mini UDT carries easily in the pocket and stays ready for quick deployment whenever it’s needed. A lanyard hole at the base offers an additional carry option and makes retrieval fast and convenient.
Microtech’s reputation for meticulous machining and premium materials is evident throughout the knife. Every detail reflects the brand’s dedication to producing high-performance American-made tools designed for serious users and collectors alike.
