SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Mini UDT has returned by popular demand, bringing one of the most respected compact automatics back into production. This classic out-the-side design helped establish Microtech’s reputation for precision machining and dependable performance. The original Mini UDT earned a devoted following among collectors and users, and its revival delivers the same compact strength and mechanical reliability that made it a legend.
This version features a 2.37" premium steel drop point blade with a rugged stonewashed finish and a standard edge. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a tough, work-ready look while helping disguise the marks of everyday use. The plain edge offers excellent slicing performance and easy maintenance, making it ideal for daily cutting tasks. With the push of a button, the blade fires open instantly and locks securely into place, delivering the fast, dependable automatic action Microtech is known for.
The handle is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in textured tan for a rugged tactical appearance. 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 slips easily into a pocket and remains comfortable for all-day carry. A lanyard hole at the base adds another convenient carry option and allows for quick retrieval when needed.
Microtech’s dedication to premium materials and meticulous machining is evident throughout the knife. Every detail reflects decades of American knife-making expertise and a commitment to producing high-performance tools that collectors appreciate and users trust.
