Description:

The Microtech Ultratech Warhound is like the regular Microtech Ultratech, but with a different and unique blade style.

Its double-action is a joy to operate: by pushing the thumb slide up, the blade shoots out the front of the handle with authority, locking into place; by pulling it down, it automatically retracts. The design is topped off with Microtech’s signature hardware, pocket clip, and glass breaker, completing a practical piece of cutlery that sets the bar for all OTF automatic knives.
