Microtech – 166-1T – Hawk Auto – Automatic Knife – M390MK Two Tone Karambit – Aluminum – Black

The Microtech Hawk Auto is an aggressive side-opening automatic knife that brings one of Microtech’s most distinctive blade profiles back into the spotlight. Built with a sweeping karambit-style hawkbill blade, black aluminum handle, and fast push-button deployment, the Hawk has the kind of presence that stands out immediately in a case, in hand, or in a serious Microtech collection. This is not a plain everyday folder. It is a bold automatic built around cutting control, grip security, and unmistakable Microtech attitude. The blade is made from M390MK and features a two-tone finish with a karambit-style hawkbill profile. M390MK is Microtech’s premium blade steel and is valued for strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and high-end cutting performance. The curved blade shape gives the Hawk a very different feel from a standard drop point or tanto automatic. It is designed for controlled draw cuts, slicing, pull cuts, and situations where a hooked edge shape gives the user a more direct cutting advantage. The two-tone finish adds visual contrast, letting the blade show both darker tactical character and satin highlight work in a way that fits the Microtech style. The black 6061-T6 aluminum handle gives the Hawk a strong, lightweight, and durable foundation. Microtech pairs that aluminum construction with textured grip inlays to help the knife stay secure and responsive in hand. The handle shape works with the blade curve to create a compact but aggressive automatic folder that feels purpose-built rather than generic. Push-button deployment gives the Hawk the fast, authoritative opening action people expect from a Microtech automatic, while the button lock keeps the blade secure during use. At 8.75″ overall with a 3.95″ blade, the Hawk Auto has real presence without becoming overly large. It carries as an automatic folder, but the karambit-style blade gives it a much more specialized identity than a standard side-opening auto. For collectors, the appeal is obvious: the Hawk is a recognizable Microtech design with a dramatic blade shape and strong visual attitude. For users, the appeal comes from the secure handle, quick action, premium blade steel, and cutting geometry that excels at controlled slicing. The Microtech 166-1T Hawk Auto is a strong choice for customers who want something different from the usual OTF, folder, or tactical automatic. It is unmistakably Microtech, unmistakably aggressive, and built with the materials and action quality that make the brand so collectible.
