Microtech Exocet
The Microtech Exocet is the strangest idea in the catalog and one of the best selling: a money clip that fires. Introduced in 2019 as the first of its kind, it hides a 1.98-inch OTF blade inside a broad, flat chassis built to hold your bills and cards, with the blade length sitting deliberately under the two-inch line that California draws for automatic knives.
At 3 ounces of mil-spec anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, it also happens to fire faster and easier than almost anything else in the Microtech lineup, and like the rest of it, the Exocet is machined in the USA.
Exocet Money Clip Design
This is genuine dual-mission engineering rather than a gimmick. The wide stainless clip is shaped for a fold of bills or a few cards, the chassis is broad and flat enough to ride like a wallet, and a generous lanyard hole rounds out the package. For people trying to consolidate what they carry, the Exocet replaces two pocket items with one, and the party trick of deploying a dagger from your money clip never really gets old.
Exocet vs Exocet II
The Exocet II arrived in 2026 with a longer 2.3-inch double-edge dagger in Microtech's proprietary M390MK steel, a refined machined chassis, and the snappiest action the platform has run. The trade is simple: the II buys real reach and utility, while the original keeps the sub-two-inch blade that makes it the pick anywhere that measurement matters. Both carry identically, so the choice comes down to whether that extra third of an inch works for you or against you.
Exocet Blade Styles and Steels
The original runs in double-edge dagger and tanto configurations, with plain, partially serrated, and fully serrated edges, plus standouts like the all-white ST editions and the distressed Bounty Hunter. Blade steel on first-generation knives varies by production run between CTS-204P, M390, and Elmax, while the Exocet II standardizes on M390MK; our comparison of every major knife steel covers all four. And if you want a micro OTF knife without the wallet job, the UTX-70 is the conventional take on the same small footprint, though it will never hold your twenties.
