The Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, bringing one of the most beloved compact automatics in knife history back into production. This classic out-the-side design helped establish Microtech’s reputation for precision machining and dependable performance, and collectors have been eager to see it revived. The new generation keeps the spirit of the original alive while delivering the same compact power that made the Mini UDT such a standout.
This version features a 2.37" premium steel drop point blade with a clean satin finish and a standard edge. The plain edge offers excellent slicing performance and easy maintenance, making it ideal for everyday cutting tasks. The satin finish highlights the blade’s clean lines while maintaining a classic, hardworking look. With a simple press of the push-button mechanism, the blade snaps open instantly and locks securely into place, delivering the quick, confident automatic action Microtech is known for.
The handle is built from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured olive drab green for a rugged, tactical appearance. The texturing provides a secure grip without adding unnecessary bulk, while the durable aluminum construction keeps the knife tough and lightweight. Measuring just 3.25" closed and weighing only 1.2 ounces, the Mini UDT rides easily in the pocket and remains comfortable for all-day carry. A lanyard hole at the base adds another convenient carry option and makes quick retrieval simple.
Microtech’s dedication to high-quality materials and meticulous machining is evident throughout the knife. Every contour and mechanism reflects the company’s commitment to building premium American-made knives that collectors value and users rely on.
