SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 delivers the power and precision of a full-sized out-the-front automatic in a more compact, EDC-friendly package. Measuring in at 85% the size of the original Ultratech, this knife hits the sweet spot for everyday carry—offering reliable performance without unnecessary bulk. It’s built for users who demand speed, strength, and compact utility in the same blade.
At its core is a 3.11-inch premium steel drop point blade with a partially serrated edge, making quick work of both fine slicing and tougher materials like rope or cord. The stonewashed finish gives it a battle-tested look and adds durability to the edge. The blade deploys and retracts with lightning-fast authority thanks to Microtech’s signature dual-action thumb slide. It locks up tight, and it’s ready the moment you need it.
The OD green anodized aluminum handle is made from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 and provides a strong yet lightweight frame that’s comfortable in the pocket and steady in the hand. With precision machining and a slim profile, it slips easily into your pocket while still offering full control in the palm. The ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip ensures secure carry on either side, while the built-in glass breaker adds functional edge for emergency situations.
At just 4.4 inches closed and 3.1 ounces in weight, the UTX-85 is streamlined but never stripped down. Proudly made in the USA, this knife represents everything Microtech stands for—hard-use reliability, tactical speed, and American craftsmanship in every detail.
