SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, bringing one of the most beloved compact automatics back into production. This legendary out-the-side design helped establish Microtech’s reputation for precision machining and rugged dependability. Collectors have long requested its comeback, and this revival delivers the same compact strength and reliable performance that made the original Mini UDT such a standout.
This version features a 2.37" premium steel drop point blade with a rugged stonewashed finish and a partially serrated edge. The stonewash treatment gives the blade a tough, work-ready appearance while helping disguise the marks of daily use. The combination edge adds versatility, pairing a plain cutting section for controlled slicing with serrations that bite through rope, webbing, and other fibrous materials. A push-button automatic mechanism sends the blade snapping open instantly and locks it firmly into place, providing the quick, dependable action Microtech is known for.
The handle is crafted from durable aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured tan for a rugged, tactical look. The textured surface enhances grip while maintaining a slim, pocket-friendly profile. Despite its tough construction, the Mini UDT remains incredibly lightweight. It measures just 3.25" closed and weighs only 1.2 ounces, making it easy to carry every day without adding bulk. A lanyard hole at the base offers another practical carry option and allows for quick retrieval when needed.
Microtech’s commitment to meticulous machining and premium materials is evident throughout the knife. Every detail reflects decades of American knife-making expertise and a dedication to building high-performance tools that collectors appreciate and users rely on.
