SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, bringing one of the most celebrated compact automatics back into production. This classic out-the-side design helped cement Microtech’s reputation for precision engineering and rugged reliability. The original Mini UDT became a favorite among collectors and serious users alike, and its revival brings that legendary performance back in a sleek, compact package.
This version features a 2.37" premium steel drop point blade with a rugged stonewashed finish and a partially serrated edge. The stonewashed finish helps hide wear from hard use while giving the blade a tough, working look. The combination edge increases versatility, pairing a plain cutting section for controlled slicing with serrations that power through rope, webbing, and other fibrous materials. With the press of the push-button mechanism, the blade fires open instantly and locks firmly into place, delivering the crisp, reliable automatic action Microtech is known for.
The handle is crafted from durable aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured black for a sleek tactical appearance. The textured surface enhances grip while maintaining a slim, pocket-friendly profile. Despite its rugged construction, 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 stays comfortable in the pocket until it’s needed. A lanyard hole at the base adds another practical carry option and allows for quick retrieval.
Microtech’s commitment to premium materials and meticulous machining is evident in every detail. From the smooth automatic action to the precision fit and finish, the Mini UDT reflects decades of American knife-making expertise.
