The Microtech Exocet is a compact out-the-front automatic knife that seamlessly blends utility with refined craftsmanship. At the heart of this knife is a 1.95" premium steel plain dagger blade, finished with a stonewash that not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also adds a layer of durability. The blade's compact size makes it an ideal choice for everyday carry, providing a reliable cutting edge that’s both sharp and resilient. The blade’s thickness, measured at .06", offers a balanced feel, ensuring precise cuts without compromising strength.
The Exocet’s standout feature is its out-the-front automatic mechanism, activated by a smooth-operating thumb slide. This design allows for rapid blade deployment and secure lockup, ensuring that the knife is ready for action at a moment’s notice. The single-edged dagger style, paired with the automatic functionality, makes it a versatile tool capable of handling a wide range of tasks, from everyday utility to more demanding cutting needs.
Constructed with anodized violet 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handles, the Exocet exudes both elegance and strength. This material choice not only reduces the overall weight of the knife to a mere 3.0oz but also offers exceptional durability, ensuring that the knife can withstand the rigors of daily use. The anodized finish adds a touch of sophistication, making the Exocet not just a tool but a statement piece.
The handle length of 3.62" provides a comfortable grip, allowing for precise control during use. The knife's overall length, when open, extends to 5.57", offering a compact profile that easily fits in a pocket or bag. The stainless steel pocket clip is designed for tip-down carry and is ambidextrous, catering to both left and right-handed users. This feature, combined with the knife’s lightweight construction, makes it an ideal everyday carry option, ensuring that it’s always within reach when needed.
Adding to the knife’s practicality is the integrated glass breaker, a feature that enhances its versatility. Whether you need to shatter a window in an emergency or simply need a tool for unconventional tasks, the glass breaker is a valuable addition that expands the Exocet’s functionality.
The OTF (out-the-front) lock type ensures that the blade remains securely in place during use, providing peace of mind whether you’re handling delicate tasks or more demanding applications. The knife’s automatic nature means that deployment is quick and effortless, a critical feature for those who need a reliable tool that’s ready to go with just a flick of the thumb.
Crafted with precision in the USA, the Microtech Exocet is more than just a knife; it’s a blend of engineering excellence and thoughtful design. Each element, from the blade’s premium steel to the meticulously crafted aluminum handles, reflects a commitment to quality and performance. For those seeking a knife that offers both practicality and style, the Exocet stands out as a top choice. Whether for everyday carry, emergency situations, or simply as a reliable tool, the Exocet delivers on all fronts, making it a valuable addition to any collection.
