SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 Gen III D-E Stonewash Standard in OD Green is a compact, high-performance OTF automatic knife designed for those who demand reliability and precision in a smaller package. This model takes the proven design and quality of Microtech’s Ultratech series and scales it down to 85 percent, providing excellent ergonomics and tactical utility without compromising on materials or craftsmanship.
At the heart of the knife lies a 3.11-inch double-edge dagger blade made from Böhler M390/M390MK stainless steel. This steel is renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it a top choice for demanding users. The blade is finished with a rugged stonewash treatment, which not only gives it a distinctive, low-glare appearance but also helps mask scratches and wear that come with regular use. The plain edges on both sides deliver clean, reliable cuts for a variety of tasks, from precise slicing to piercing.
The handle is crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized in a deep OD Green color, lending the knife a tactical look while providing a durable, lightweight frame. Ergonomically designed, the handle fits comfortably in hand and features a textured surface for a secure grip, even in wet or slippery conditions. Measuring about 4.38 inches when closed and 7.50 inches overall, the UTX-85 Gen III balances portability with solid handling. Weighing approximately 3.10 ounces, it’s light enough to carry all day without fatigue.
This Gen III model features Microtech’s advanced double-action OTF automatic mechanism, allowing for fast, one-handed blade deployment and retraction through a smooth sliding actuator. The upgraded internal design ensures crisp, reliable operation every time. Additional hardware includes stainless steel screws, a tip-down pocket clip for secure carry, and an integrated glass breaker for emergency situations, making this knife ready for both tactical and everyday challenges.
Proudly made in the USA with meticulous attention to detail, the Microtech UTX-85 Gen III Stonewash Standard OD Green is an exceptional tool for users who want the performance of a larger OTF knife in a more compact, manageable form factor.
