How Do I Choose the Type of Knife Right for Me?
You don’t need to be a knife expert to pick the right knife. You just need to be honest about how you’ll use it.
Microtech produces many blade styles, including switchblade designs, a range of OTF knives for sale, and select fixed blade options. That means that whatever you use our knife for, they've got a product that meets your needs. Choosing the right knife depends on how and where you plan to carry.
Automatic Knives
If one-handed deployment matters, Microtech's automatic knives are hard to beat. Side-opening autos like the Microtech LUDT and Socom Elite offer fast action with a familiar profile.

OTF Knives (Out-The-Front)
Microtech's OTF knives are the centerpiece of their lineup. Dual-action and Microtech single-action OTF knives deploy straight out the front and retract with authority, offering speed, reliability, and tactical performance. To help you choose, we've broken them down by size and use case:
Full-Size Tactical OTFs
These beefy OTFs are heavyweight champs of the knife world. Built for military, law enforcement, and serious tactical users, these Microtech knives pack maximum blade length, superior handle grip, and a deployment speed that laughs in the face of slow motion.
- Combat Troodon
- Warhound (a premium blade option for the Combat Troodon)
- Ultratech OTF
EDC-Friendly OTFs
These pocket-friendly OTFs prove that good things come in small, sharp packages. Compact enough for easy everyday carry but still packing the full-speed OTF kick, they're ready to tackle anything from everyday tasks to the moments you didn't see coming.
- Microtech UTX 85
- Microtech UTX-70
- Microtech Mini Troodon
For an EDC knife that's pocket-sized but plenty powerful, a Mini Microtech OTF is one smaller-but-mighty tool that's ready to punch above its weight.
If you're looking for a specific model or wanting to compare options, EKnives keeps high-demand Microtech knives in stock, so you can quickly find the right fit for your hand and your lifestyle. Find a Microtech UTX 85 Hellhound, Combat Troodon, or UTX-85 for sale all in one place, alongside the brand's other exceptional products.
Specialty OTF Models and Variations
We couldn't talk about Microtech OTFs if we didn't mention some specialty OTFs and platform variations.
Not every Microtech OTF fits neatly into the Ultratech or Troodon mold. Some are designed for slimmer pockets, collector flair, or simply for those who like their knives just a little more interesting. These models are proof that Microtech can slice outside the lines.
At EKnives, you can find less common models like the Microtech Dirac Delta in stock. It offers a refined, low-profile OTF feel with excellent balance, making it perfect for when you want precision without the drama. Or consider the California-legal Microtech Exocet for compact utility in a surprisingly capable package.
If you prefer a more contoured handle and premium ergonomics, the Microtech Hera and Microtech Makora bring sleek design and authoritative action together in one very satisfying deploy.
For those who want OTF performance in a smaller footprint, Microtech mini OTF options strike the perfect balance between concealability and cutting confidence. That could be a Mini Troodon, or a Hera II Mini. And for collectors chasing premium blade grinds, EKnives is the place to find a Microtech Hellhound in stock, featuring one of the brand's most aggressive and sought-after profiles.
These specialty OTFs prove that Microtech doesn't just make fast knives: they make the right knife for how you carry.

Best-Selling Microtech Knives at EKnives
Microtech Troodon
Microtech's Troodon gets its strange name from a small, cunning dinosaur. Its predator namesake was fast and lethal, and this quick, precise knife lives up to that legacy. This double-action OTF automatic is a perfect balance of EDC size and tactical power. You can bring the intelligence and precision that the Troodon used to hunt in the Cretaceous period to your modern-day cutting.
Microtech Combat Troodon
The Combat Troodon is Microtech's largest OTF knife and a benchmark for tactical performance. Available in standard configurations as well as Troodon Hellhound variants, this beast is ideal for intense utility and combat work. This heavy-duty Microtech dagger-style knife is a favorite among members of the US Armed Forces, law enforcement, and first responders, thanks to its reliable and robust OTF mechanism, a blade size that works when lives are on the line, and seconds matter.
Microtech Ultratech
The Ultratech is the flagship Microtech OTF and one of the most recognizable automatic knives on the market. Variants include the Ultratech Bayonet, Ultratech Hellhound, and Ultratech Bounty Hunter.
All those options are proudly made in the USA and carry the heat of the Ultratech, including a proprietary firing pin design that sets at rest both opened and closed. That may not sound like the flashiest feature, but it drastically reduces firing mechanism wear. The result? Any Microtech Ultratech for sale, no matter the variant, is a tool you can count on when misfires or mishandling just won't cut it.
If you want an Ultratech at a great price, browse our selection of pre-owned Microtechs. And if you don't see the right blade for you, keep checking back as we're always adding new stock.

Hard-Use and Tactical Folding Knives
While Microtech is famous for OTFs, their folding knives are no slouches. Built for abuse, these designs prioritize strength, grip, and reliability when hard use is the name of the game. These aren’t safe queens. They’re meant to earn their keep.
Any edition of a Microtech LUDT for sale is a classic example. This knife is lightweight, fast, and purpose-built for real-world carry. For users who want something with even more muscle, Microtech's MSI brings a robust build and confident lockup that feels ready for anything. And if your taste leans bold, look for a Microtech Stitch for sale. Whether you end up with the manual folding or hard-hitting automatic version of the Stitch, you'll get unmistakable styling paired with serious cutting power.
These knives are made for people who give their gear a workout, not a nap. If your knife needs to work as hard as you do, you're in the right section.
Beyond Knives: Microtech Gear and Collectibles
Microtech is more than blades. Collectors who respect quality, durability, and attention to detail also seek other Microtech gear. A Microtech belt or pen can round out your kit, because staying sharp isn't about just the blades you pack.
What Should I Look for When Buying a Knife?
Choosing the right Microtech comes down to deployment style, blade length, and purpose. If you're looking for a reliable EDC, opt for the UTX series. For tactical utility, the Ultratech or Combat Troodon offers battle-tested confidence. Materials, action type, and steel composition all matter, so shop with your needs in mind. If you need help deciding, EKnives' team of knife-loving representatives is always happy to help, or to just talk about our passion for sharp stuff.

FAQs About Microtech Knives
What makes Microtech knives different from other brands?
Microtech knives are known for precision manufacturing, proprietary internal mechanisms, and aerospace grade materials. Each blade is produced in the United States under strict standards. The result is dependable performance trusted by law enforcement, military professionals, and dedicated knife collectors.
What is the most popular Microtech knife?
The Ultratech is widely considered the flagship Microtech model. It features double action out the front deployment, a balanced size for everyday carry, and a slim profile that fits comfortably in the pocket. Its reliability and performance make it one of the most recognized OTF knives available.
What steels are used in Microtech blades?
Microtech uses high performance blade steels such as Elmax, M390, and Magnacut. These steels offer strong edge retention, durability, and corrosion resistance. The result is a blade that stays sharp and dependable even under demanding conditions.
Are Microtech knives legal to carry?
Knife laws vary widely depending on the state and local jurisdiction. Automatic knives and out the front designs may have specific restrictions related to blade length or carry method. Always review local laws before carrying any automatic knife.
How do I clean and maintain my Microtech knife?
Regular maintenance helps keep the mechanism operating smoothly. Use compressed air to remove debris from the blade channel and apply a small amount of knife lubricant. Avoid disassembling the knife because these mechanisms are built with tight tolerances and should be serviced by the manufacturer if needed.
What's the difference between the Ultratech and UTX-85?

Are Microtech knives good for self-defense?
Microtech knives are designed for speed, reliability, and durability. Many users value them for defensive readiness because of their fast deployment and solid construction. Anyone considering defensive use should understand the knife, follow local laws, and practice safe handling.
