Microtech UTX-70 Gen IV OTF Automatic Knife Stonewash D/E Black AUMT1147410

The Microtech UTX-70 Gen IV OTF Automatic delivers full-size Ultratech performance in a compact, ultra-concealable platform. Sized at roughly 70% of the standard Ultratech, it’s built for discreet everyday carry while still delivering the speed, strength, and precision Microtech is known for. Small enough to disappear into a watch pocket, it still carries the same aggressive engineering and dependable action found in the larger models.

The 2.5-inch dagger blade is crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK premium steel, developed in collaboration with Böhler engineers to push edge retention and corrosion resistance beyond standard M390. This steel upgrade brings serious performance to a compact blade built for real use. The rugged stonewash finish adds durability in appearance and function, helping conceal wear while giving the blade a worn-in, tactical character. The double-edge dagger profile delivers strong piercing ability and balanced cutting performance in a compact footprint.

The Gen IV UTX-70 benefits from Microtech’s updated internal platform, designed for smoother operation and improved accessibility. The Dual-Fuel Drive Train enhances deployment speed and consistency, while the redesigned firing switch offers easier, more controlled activation. Crud Kutter grooves on the thumb slide help manage debris buildup inside the mechanism, improving long-term reliability even with pocket carry.

The dual-action out-the-front system delivers fast, authoritative deployment with a push of the thumb slide, locking the blade securely in place and retracting just as smoothly. Despite its small size, it performs with the confidence of a much larger automatic.

The handle is machined from anodized black 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, offering strength without excess weight. Its slim profile makes it exceptionally pocket-friendly, while still providing a secure grip during use. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows flexible carry options, and the integrated glass breaker and lanyard hole add practical utility for emergency situations.

Measuring 3.5 inches closed and weighing just 1.4 ounces, the UTX-70 is designed for maximum portability without compromise. It is also engineered to meet California blade length standards, though local laws should always be verified before carry. Proudly made in the USA, it reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision machining and advanced materials.
