Microtech Auto Cypher II OTF AP M390
Code: MCT124210APNCRelated products
Product detailed description
The Microtech Cypher II is a modern OTF (Out The Front) automatic knife engineered for maximum mechanical precision, durability, and everyday reliability. The second generation introduces a redesigned chassis with clean lines, concealed hardware, and numerous technical refinements that elevate the performance of Microtech's automatic platform. Combining premium materials, precision CNC machining, and an advanced double-action deployment system, the Cypher II is built as a compact yet highly capable EDC knife.
The double-edged dagger blade is manufactured from Böhler M390MK powder metallurgy steel, offering exceptional wear resistance, high hardness, and outstanding corrosion resistance. Developed through a collaboration between Böhler and Microtech, M390MK has been specifically optimized for automatic knives, balancing long-lasting edge retention with the toughness required for repeated dynamic deployment. The Apocalyptic Finish helps conceal everyday wear while giving the blade its distinctive tactical appearance. M390MK provides excellent cutting performance and long-term durability even under intensive daily use.
At the heart of the Cypher II is Microtech's redesigned double-action OTF mechanism, featuring the new X-Button actuator and Double Spring Dual Fuel Drivetrain. The thumb-operated slider deploys and retracts the blade smoothly with one hand while delivering the crisp action expected from a premium Microtech. The surrounding Crud Kutter system creates dedicated channels that help trap lint, dust, and pocket debris before they reach the internal mechanism, reducing contamination and improving long-term reliability. This innovative design keeps the action smooth even during demanding everyday carry.
The handle is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with a natural anodized finish, providing an ideal balance of strength and low weight. Hidden body screws create an exceptionally clean, seamless appearance while highlighting the knife's precision engineering. The ergonomic profile ensures a secure grip and comfortable handling during extended use. The minimalist construction reflects the premium manufacturing standards that have become a hallmark of Microtech knives.
Additional features include an integrated glass breaker and a reversible titanium pocket clip fitted with a silicon carbide ball. The carbide insert reduces friction when sliding the knife into a pocket while offering outstanding wear resistance over years of use. With its compact dimensions, lightweight construction, and advanced double-action mechanism, the Cypher II is equally suited for demanding users and collectors seeking one of today's most technically advanced OTF knives.

The American brand Microtech has spent more than twenty years refining innovation and manufacturing quality within the OTF knife segment. Each knife leaves the factory as a result of precise machining and a strong focus on mechanical consistency. The out-the-front mechanism relies on carefully tuned internal parts that deliver a smooth, fast and controlled blade deployment. Mechanical precision remains a core value across the entire product range.
Blade steels are selected for edge stability, wear resistance and long-term performance, while surface treatments help reduce friction and improve durability. Handle materials combine modern alloys and polymers to enhance grip security without unnecessary weight. The balance between materials and mechanics supports reliable operation under repeated use.
Microtech continues to explore new internal layouts and engineering solutions, aiming to extend service life and maintain consistent action over time. These OTF knives appeal to users who appreciate technical depth, functional reliability and a distinct visual identity. Innovation and practical design meet in a tool built for everyday demands.
