Product Description

The Microtech Dirac Signature Series 225-3GCS-Z4 is a Signature Series OTF automatic built around the Dirac's defining innovation — a cover-firing slider that makes it the first Microtech double-action knife to fire via slider cover rather than a conventional thumb-push mechanism. Gold Camo Mil-Spec Hard Coat anodized aluminum. Double edge dagger. Glass breaker. 2.2 oz. ⚠️ OTF automatic with double-edged blade — verify legal status in your jurisdiction before purchasing. Visit akti.org for knife law information.

⚠️ Blade steel is not specified on this model — Microtech states that blade steel can change depending on availability for this product. The blade is not designated to a fixed steel specification. Verify current blade steel with Knifeworks at 888-225-9775 before purchasing if steel specification is important to your decision.

The Dirac's curved chassis draws on HALO-inspired ergonomic lines — a slightly different feel from the Ultratech's angular geometry. The double edge dagger at 2.92" carries one plain edge and one serrated edge; the flat grind runs across both. The Gold Camo finish is applied to the blade and the Mil-Spec Hard Coat anodized handle simultaneously — a cohesive, field-pattern aesthetic across the full knife. 301 stainless steel tip-down clip. Proprietary hardware throughout. Tony Marfione design. Made in the USA.

Microtech Dirac Signature Series 225-3GCS-Z4: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the Microtech Dirac Signature Series Gold Camo OTF, answered by the Knifeworks team. ⚠️ OTF automatic with double-edged blade — verify legal status in your jurisdiction before purchasing. Visit akti.org for knife law information.

Is the Microtech Dirac 225-3GCS-Z4 legal to buy and carry?

The Dirac 225-3GCS-Z4 is a double-action OTF automatic knife with a double-edged blade — both of which carry independent legal restrictions in many jurisdictions. Automatic knives are regulated by state and local law. Double-edged blades carry additional restrictions in many jurisdictions beyond the automatic knife rules — some states that permit single-edged automatics still prohibit double-edged blades. Buyers must verify both considerations for their specific location before purchasing. Knifeworks sells this knife only where both are permitted by law. For state-by-state knife law information, visit akti.org.

What is the cover-firing slider on the Dirac, and how is it different from the Ultratech's X-Button?

The Dirac is Microtech’s first double-action OTF with a cover-firing slider — a fundamentally different actuation mechanism from the Ultratech’s Wide X-Button thumb slider. The cover-firing slider operates by the user’s thumb covering and pressing forward on the slider cap to fire the blade; retraction operates in the opposite direction through the same cover mechanism. This produces a different ergonomic experience from a conventional push-forward slider: the cover-firing motion distributes thumb contact across a broader surface area and aligns naturally with the HALO-inspired curved chassis geometry of the Dirac. Where the Ultratech’s Wide X-Button is a protruding slider with an X-profile grip surface, the Dirac’s cover-firing mechanism is integrated into the chassis lines for a smoother overall profile.

What blade steel is in the Microtech Dirac 225-3GCS-Z4?

Microtech does not specify the blade steel for the Dirac 225-3GCS-Z4 — and this is not an oversight. Microtech explicitly states that the blade steel for this model can change depending on availability, meaning the steel in production runs may vary and Microtech does not commit to a fixed steel specification for this SKU. This is Microtech’s stated policy for this product, not a missing data point. If the blade steel specification is important to your purchasing decision, contact the Knifeworks team at 888-225-9775 or Help@Knifeworks.com before ordering — our team can provide current production information on what steel is in stock for this model.

What is the Gold Camo finish, and does it apply to both the blade and handle?

The Gold Camo finish on the 225-3GCS-Z4 is applied to both the blade and the handle for a cohesive, unified aesthetic across the full knife — the “GCS” designation in the SKU stands for Gold Camo Signature. On the blade, the Gold Camo is applied over the flat grind surface. On the handle, the Gold Camo is part of the Mil-Spec Hard Coat anodization on the 6061-T6 aluminum — a military-specification anodizing process that produces an exceptionally durable oxide layer. The Gold Camo pattern on the handle is anodized into the aluminum surface rather than applied as a coating over it, giving the handle finish a permanence that surface-applied finishes cannot match. The result is a knife where blade and handle share the same visual identity rather than contrasting.

What is the double edge dagger blade, and what does plain/serrated mean on the Dirac?

The double edge dagger on the Dirac 225-3GCS-Z4 is a double-edged blade profile with two sharpened edges — but the 225-3GCS-Z4 configuration is not fully plain on both sides. The “Plain/Serrated” designation means one edge is a plain cutting edge and the opposite edge is serrated. This gives the Dirac a versatile double-edged blade where the plain edge handles standard cutting tasks and the serrated edge provides cutting performance on rope, webbing, or fibrous materials that benefit from a serrated profile. The flat grind runs across both edges. The cutting edge measurement of 2.625” on a 2.92” blade represents the combined sharpened length accounting for the unsharpened ricasso near the handle. ⚠️ Double-edged blades carry additional legal restrictions in many jurisdictions — verify before purchasing.
