SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 Gen III is a precision-engineered automatic knife built for speed, strength, and reliable performance in a compact, ergonomic package. Designed at 85 percent the size of the Ultratech, it offers the perfect balance of portability and cutting power, making it ideal for everyday carry, tactical use, and professional applications where rapid deployment and durability are essential.
Its 3.125-inch double-edge dagger blade is crafted from premium Bohler M390MK stainless steel, a material renowned for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade features a black finish that enhances its tactical appearance while concealing wear over time. Both edges are partially serrated, giving the knife versatility for cutting fibrous materials, ropes, and general slicing tasks. The dagger-style blade ensures maximum penetration and control, while the double-action out-the-front (OTF) mechanism allows the blade to deploy and retract instantly with a simple thumb slide.
The handle is made from 6061-T6 aluminum with a blue anodized finish, combining lightweight portability with robust strength. Its contoured design ensures a secure grip, while the precision machining adds both visual appeal and tactile control. The knife includes a tip-down pocket clip, allowing discreet carry, and the reversible design accommodates both right- and left-handed users without compromise. At just 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 Gen III is easy to carry yet feels substantial in hand, making it ready for any task at a moment’s notice.
Built in the USA, every Microtech UTX-85 Gen III reflects meticulous attention to detail and superior craftsmanship.
