The Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, bringing one of the most iconic compact automatics back into the spotlight. This classic out-the-side design helped establish Microtech’s reputation for precision machining and uncompromising performance. The original Mini UDT earned a loyal following among collectors and everyday users alike, and its revival delivers the same compact power and reliability that made it a legend.
This version features 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 crisp grind lines and gives the knife a timeless working look. A push-button automatic mechanism fires the blade open instantly and locks it securely into place, delivering the fast, dependable deployment Microtech is known for.
The handle is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured black for a sleek tactical appearance. The textured surface provides a confident grip without adding unnecessary bulk, and the durable aluminum construction keeps the knife both tough and incredibly lightweight. Measuring just 3.25" closed and weighing only 1.2 ounces, the Mini UDT slips easily into the pocket and remains comfortable for all-day carry. A lanyard hole at the base offers another convenient carry option and allows for quick retrieval when needed.
Microtech’s dedication to precision machining and premium materials is evident throughout the knife. Every detail reflects decades of American knife-making expertise and a commitment to producing high-performance tools built to last.
Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the world’s best online knife store, is also a Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store.
