The Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, bringing one of the most legendary compact automatics back into the spotlight. This classic out-the-side design helped cement Microtech’s reputation for precision machining and rugged reliability. The original Mini UDT developed a loyal following among collectors and users alike, and its long-awaited return delivers the same compact performance and mechanical confidence that made it a standout.
This version features a 2.37" premium steel drop point blade with a rugged stonewashed finish and a standard edge. The stonewash treatment gives the blade a tough, work-ready appearance while helping conceal the marks of everyday use. The plain edge excels at clean slicing and precise cutting tasks, offering reliable performance and easy maintenance. A push-button automatic mechanism fires the blade open instantly and locks it firmly into place, delivering the fast, dependable action Microtech fans expect.
The handle is built from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured black for a sleek, tactical look. The textured surface provides a secure grip without adding unnecessary bulk, while the durable aluminum construction keeps the knife strong yet incredibly lightweight. Measuring just 3.25" closed and weighing only 1.2 ounces, the Mini UDT disappears easily into the pocket and stays comfortable for all-day carry. A lanyard hole at the base offers an additional carry option and allows for quick retrieval when needed.
Microtech’s dedication to premium materials and meticulous machining is evident throughout the design. Every detail reflects decades of American knife-making experience and a commitment to producing high-performance tools that collectors value and users rely on.
Smoky Mountain Knife Works, the world’s best online knife store, is also a Tennessee landmark and the world’s largest knife store. Located in the Great Smoky Mountains, its legendary showroom draws more than 1.5 million visitors each year who come to experience one of the most impressive knife selections anywhere.
