SHOP CASE KNIVESIntroducing the Microtech UTX-85, a masterfully engineered out-the-front (OTF) automatic knife designed to deliver superior performance in a compact, everyday carry (EDC) size. The UTX-85, scaled to 85% of the full-sized Ultratech, strikes the perfect balance between functionality and convenience, making it an essential addition to your EDC arsenal.
This UTX-85 model features a 3-inch M390MK stainless steel dagger blade with a striking apocalyptic finish. Renowned for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, the M390MK steel ensures the blade remains sharp and durable through extensive use. The apocalyptic finish not only enhances the blade's rugged aesthetics but also adds an extra layer of protection against wear and tear.
The dual-action OTF automatic mechanism allows for rapid blade deployment and retraction with the simple push of a thumb slide. This reliable and efficient mechanism ensures the blade is always ready for immediate use and securely locked when not in use. The smooth action of the thumb slide provides a seamless user experience, making it an indispensable tool for quick and easy access.
Crafted from contoured red anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the handle offers a robust yet lightweight grip. The anodized finish enhances the handle's durability, providing a corrosion-resistant surface that withstands the rigors of daily use. The contoured design ensures a comfortable and secure hold, reducing hand fatigue during extended use.
The UTX-85 is equipped with an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip, designed for versatile and secure carry options. Whether you prefer left-handed or right-handed carry, the pocket clip accommodates your needs, ensuring the knife is always within easy reach. The inclusion of a lanyard hole offers additional carrying flexibility, allowing you to attach the knife to your gear or wear it around your neck for quick access.
A practical and essential feature of the UTX-85 is the integrated glass breaker, making it an invaluable tool in emergency situations. Whether you need to break glass in a rescue scenario or tackle other challenging tasks, the glass breaker adds a layer of functionality that enhances the knife's utility.
Measuring 4.4 inches when closed and weighing a mere 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 is perfectly sized for discreet and comfortable carry. Its compact dimensions and lightweight design make it easy to slip into a pocket or attach to your gear without being obtrusive. Despite its smaller size, the UTX-85 delivers the high performance and reliability that Microtech is known for.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech UTX-85 embodies a commitment to superior craftsmanship and quality.
