Designed for daily reliability and built with battlefield-grade precision, this out-the-front automatic knife blends tactical performance with refined craftsmanship. Whether you're in the field or on the job, its streamlined profile and powerful double-action mechanism make it an essential tool for those who expect more from their gear.
At the heart of this Gen III UTX-85 is a 3" double-edged dagger blade made from premium M390MK stainless steel—renowned for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Finished in Microtech’s signature Apocalyptic stonewash, the blade not only looks battle-worn but hides wear from real-world use. The double-edge design offers piercing efficiency from either side, making it ideal for both utility and defensive tasks.
The OD Green aluminum handle is lightweight but strong, with clean, hard lines and ergonomic contouring that provide a solid grip under pressure. A redesigned dual-action thumb slide ensures smooth, responsive deployment and retraction. Every action is precise and deliberate, showcasing Microtech’s attention to detail. The Gen III update includes improved internal components for even greater reliability and serviceability.
A sturdy tip-down pocket clip keeps the knife ready at hand without drawing attention. Subtle texturing on the handle and Microtech’s unmistakable claw logo add both function and character. At 4.5" closed and weighing just 3.10oz, the UTX-85 is ideal for discreet carry while still packing full-sized performance.
Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Microtech’s ongoing commitment to American manufacturing and uncompromising quality. When seconds count and durability matters, the UTX-85 Gen III is a blade you’ll want in your pocket. Order it today from SMKW!
