Microtech Cypher FAQ

The Microtech Cypher II is a streamlined OTF automatic designed by DC Munroe that balances a futuristic cyberpunk aesthetic with high-performance cutting geometry. This series is known for its hidden hardware and thin edge, making it one of the more practical slicers in the Microtech lineup.

Is the Microtech Cypher II good for everyday carry?
The Microtech Cypher II is considered one of the best EDC options among Microtech's OTF offerings because of its refined blade geometry. Unlike many tactical OTFs with thicker grinds, the Cypher II features a thinner edge and a high grind panel that provides excellent slicing performance for common daily tasks.
What kind of steel does the Microtech Cypher use?
The Microtech Cypher II series primarily utilizes M390MK steel, which is a proprietary blend of M390 developed specifically for Microtech. This steel is designed to offer performance that meets or exceeds standard M390, providing high-end edge retention and corrosion resistance.
What is unique about the design of the Cypher II?
The Cypher II features a futuristic aesthetic with almost no visible hardware on the handles, creating a clean and streamlined profile. The handles often receive a brushed treatment before anodization, giving the aluminum a distinctive shimmer underneath the matte finish.
What is the blade size of the Microtech Cypher II?
The Microtech Cypher II features a 3.5-inch blade, providing significant reach in a lightweight package. The series includes several blade styles, including double-edge daggers and modified Wharncliffe shapes, depending on the specific model variant.
Who designed the Microtech Cypher?
The Microtech Cypher was designed in collaboration with custom knifemaker DC Munroe. His signature design language is evident in the knife's futuristic lines and technical details, which distinguish it from other Microtech models.
How much does a Microtech Cypher II cost?
Prices for the Microtech Cypher II series typically begin in the $400 range. Specialized versions, such as those in the Signature Series or those featuring unique finishes like the Outbreak or Splatter patterns, can be priced in the $500 range.
