The Microtech UTX-70 Hellhound GEN IV Signature Series delivers the unmistakable character of the Hellhound design in one of Microtech’s most compact OTF platforms. Built for users who want practical cutting capability without the size and weight of a full-size knife, this nimble automatic measures just 6 inches overall and weighs only 1.4 ounces. It’s small enough for a watch pocket, yet engineered with the precision and performance expected from Microtech.
The 2.5-inch blade gives the UTX-70 a useful cutting platform while maintaining its exceptionally compact profile. The stonewashed finish provides a rugged, work-ready appearance that complements the knife’s Signature Series character. The distinctive Hellhound profile adds an aggressive visual edge to the compact blade, making this UTX-70 stand out despite its small footprint.
The UTX-70’s compact proportions are its greatest advantage. At just 1.4 ounces, it’s easy to carry in a pocket, watch pocket, small bag, or EDC organizer without adding noticeable bulk. Its 6-inch overall length gives you enough handle to maintain a confident grip while keeping the knife remarkably discreet and portable.
As a double-action OTF automatic, the UTX-70 allows the blade to deploy and retract directly through the front of the handle. This straightforward operating system gives you convenient one-handed functionality in a package that's exceptionally easy to carry. The compact design makes it a practical choice for anyone who values lightweight gear and doesn't want a larger knife taking up valuable pocket space.
The GEN IV Signature Series designation adds another level of appeal for Microtech enthusiasts and collectors. The Hellhound blade profile gives the UTX-70 a distinctive identity, while the stonewashed treatment provides the rugged finish expected from a hard-use Microtech. It's a compact knife with plenty of personality.
Despite its small size, the UTX-70 isn't simply a novelty. It's designed to provide the functionality of a capable cutting tool while eliminating much of the bulk associated with larger OTF automatics. That makes it an excellent option for everyday carry, backup duty, or anyone who prefers a compact blade that can disappear into a pocket until it's needed.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech UTX-70 Hellhound GEN IV Signature Series combines compact dimensions, double-action OTF functionality, and distinctive Microtech styling. If you're looking for a lightweight automatic that's big on character without being big in your pocket, this UTX-70 delivers.
