The Microtech UTX-70 GEN IV brings serious automatic performance to an exceptionally compact platform. Built for those who want the functionality of a hard-use cutting tool without the bulk of a full-size knife, this double-action OTF automatic is small enough to fit in a watch pocket while still delivering the rugged capability you'd expect from Microtech.
This UTX-70 features a 2.5-inch tanto-edge blade with an Apocalyptic finish, giving it a rugged, battle-worn appearance that pairs perfectly with the OD green handle. The tanto profile provides a strong point and practical cutting geometry, making it well suited for everyday cutting chores. The Apocalyptic finish adds plenty of character while helping give this compact automatic a distinctly hard-use look.
The double-action OTF mechanism allows the blade to deploy and retract directly through the front of the handle, providing convenient one-handed operation. Its compact design makes it easy to carry and access without taking up valuable pocket space. Weighing just 1.4 ounces, the UTX-70 is remarkably lightweight, so you won't have to sacrifice portability to add a capable automatic to your everyday carry.
Measuring 6 inches overall with a 2.5-inch blade, the UTX-70 has the nimble dimensions needed for discreet, convenient carry. Its small footprint means it can slip easily into a watch pocket, smaller pocket, organizer, or bag where a larger knife would be cumbersome. It's a practical option for EDC enthusiasts who want the speed and convenience of an OTF automatic in a package that's barely noticeable until it's needed.
The OD green handle gives this UTX-70 a rugged, utilitarian appearance, while the Apocalyptic blade finish reinforces its hard-use character. Together, they create a compact automatic that's understated enough for everyday carry yet distinctive enough to stand out in a collection.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech UTX-70 GEN IV combines compact dimensions, lightweight construction, and a dependable double-action OTF design. When you need a capable cutting tool without the size and weight of a full-size automatic, the UTX-70 proves that small doesn't have to mean insignificant.
