The Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, bringing one of the most sought-after compact automatics back into production. This legendary out-the-side design helped build Microtech’s reputation for precision engineering and hard-use reliability. For years collectors have asked to see it again, and this revival delivers the same compact performance and mechanical confidence that made the original Mini UDT a favorite.
This version is equipped with a 2.37" premium steel drop point blade with a clean satin finish and a standard edge. The plain edge excels at precise slicing and everyday cutting tasks while remaining easy to maintain and sharpen. The satin finish highlights the blade’s clean grind lines and gives the knife a classic, working look. With a simple press of the push-button mechanism, the blade snaps open instantly and locks firmly into place, delivering the fast, dependable automatic action Microtech is known for.
The handle is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured tan for a rugged tactical appearance. The texturing enhances grip while keeping the profile slim and comfortable in hand. Despite its strength and durability, the Mini UDT remains incredibly lightweight. It measures just 3.25" closed and weighs only 1.2 ounces, making it an effortless everyday carry that disappears in the pocket until it’s needed. A lanyard hole at the base offers additional carry options and allows for quick retrieval.
Microtech’s commitment to premium materials and meticulous machining is evident throughout the design. Every detail reflects decades of American knife-making experience and a dedication to building compact automatics that perform flawlessly.
