The Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, reviving one of the most legendary compact automatics ever produced. This classic out-the-side design helped build Microtech’s reputation for precision machining and rugged reliability. Collectors never forgot the original, and its long-awaited return delivers the same compact performance and dependable automatic action that made the Mini UDT a standout in the first place.
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 durable, work-ready appearance while helping hide the marks that come with real-world use. The plain edge excels at clean slicing and controlled cutting tasks, making it a practical choice for everyday carry. A push-button automatic mechanism fires the blade open instantly and locks it firmly into place, providing the quick, reliable deployment Microtech is known for.
The handle is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured olive drab green for a rugged, tactical look. The textured surface provides a confident grip while keeping the profile slim and pocket-friendly. 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 easy everyday carry that stays comfortable throughout the day. 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 knife. Every edge, contour, and mechanism reflects decades of American knife-making expertise and a commitment to producing high-performance tools built to last.
