Microtech Dirac

[Captain O]

Thanks to "Tazman Tom" by December 25th, I should be the proud owner of a Microtech Dirac. This 2.8" 204P stainless steel, dagger blade, OTF knife (7.25" OAL) is the "ultimate gentleman's pocket knife".

Couple this with the replica of my sainted daddy's Fishtail Picklock and my personal EDC needs will be met.

Life is good.

Looks like a winner!

High quality OTF Cap! I'm not an OTF fan, but if I had to have one it would be that one! You certainly have been bitten by the OTF bug lately, not a bad itch to scratch!

Thanks, brother. This is a great little EDC OTF. Opening packages, cleaning fingernails, disappearing into my pocket until needed... I'll be rotating this with my Piranha "Fingerling" and P1 (Piranha "Pocket). These are such great personal pocket knives that make the hobby such good, clean fun.
This Microtech Dirac features a dagger blade with a stonewashed finish. The handle is black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum with blasted hardware.

Microtech has once again knocked it out of the park with the Dirac OTF knife. As their first model with a thumb-slide on the face of the handle, as opposed to the side, the Dirac is a hard-hitting double-action OTF meant for everyday carry. The contoured aluminum handle is similar to their H.A.L.O series and provides excellent comfort and control. Of course, it wouldn't be complete without Microtech's signature glass breaker and deep carry pocket clip. If you are a fan of OTF knives and enjoy quality-made products, the Microtech Dirac is the perfect candidate.

Features:
Double-edge dagger blade with a blasted finish.
Lightweight aluminum chassis with jimping
Deep carry pocket clip, attached with a sturdy window breaker tip.

It's really nice to see you all fired-up about your new knives! When I get a new model I coon finger it most of that day and usually the next too, but then it goes into my display until the next time I get a craving for that particular knife, but you have a whole detailed plan for when you'll carry it and exactly for what purposes, and I think that's very cool! I'm sure if my circumstances were different I would lean toward doing the same as you, but alas, I'm pretty much a home-body so I have to get my thrills wherever I can! Enjoy your new knife my friend!

Congrats Buddy! I'm curious, can you carry those in OR? In Germany any automatics or one handed openers are illegal carries.

As long as any part of the knife is visible (e.g. a pocket clip) carrying an automatic knife is legal in the state of Oregon. This was changed by an Oregon State court ruling in 1984.

Discretion is always a good idea.

That's great! Wish I could carry one of those.

I wish you could as well. The prohibition of automatic knives is a political absurdity. Why would you want to kill someone with a $300.00+ automatic knife when a disposable Steak Knife from Asia would do just as well.

Statistics prove that 90% of knife crime is committed with kitchen knives and are not premeditated but are crimes of passion instead committed in a moment of rage. I was thinking that one of the best ways to help stop autos from being stigmatized as evil weapons is to refer to them ONLY as "automatic knives" as opposed to the old and tired "switchblade knives", which still to this day conjures up some image of a hoodlum in a black leather jacket waving an auto around threatening an upstanding citizen. You guys should feel privileged that your country has come to it's senses and is changing the outdated auto knife laws more and more everyday, cuz up here our politicians are still stuck back in the 50's somewhere and seem to feel Communism is the way to go!

I have a degree in Speech Communication (with a minor in Sociology) and 2 years of Post Baccalaureate study in History and the Administration Of Justice. Any Speech Communication major will tell you that "perception is the reality". (I have been at this a while).

This is why I insist on using "Automatic Knife" rather than the sensationalist phrase "Switchblade Knife". This nomenclature was used to inflame the passions of the Left instead of facing the reality that these implements are covered by the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.

"The Toy That Kills" was an article in Women's Home Companion" magazine in November 1950 to elicit outrage from women about how those "evil switchblade knives" are such a horrific menace to society. (Never mind the fact that a "men's rea" (guilty mind) is a prerequisite in order to be held responsible for any crime that someone commits).

Sensationalism is the weapon used by the Left to dismantle our Representative Republic. (Read: divide and conquer).

I have the Dirac in my hot little hands. The knife is a true "work of art". The two-tone blade is mean-looking and the 204p steel is some of the best on the market. The knife is the right size and carries the way I want. (Out of the way but instantly available at a moment's notice). I cannot recommend this knife too highly! When you find one, buy it.(Trust me, you'll thank me later).

Season's greetings.

I'm glad you're happy with your new knife Cap, doesn't always go that way!
