CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for precision and reliability, the Microtech UTX-85 GEN III D-E Stonewash Full Serrate Tan is a tactical OTF automatic that blends compact performance with rugged design. At approximately 85% the size of Microtech’s flagship Ultratech, the UTX-85 GEN III is perfectly sized for everyday carry without compromising cutting power or ergonomics. The latest generation features upgraded internal components and a redesigned actuator for smoother operation and a more secure grip during deployment and retraction.
The 3.11-inch double-edge dagger blade offers a specialized edge configuration: one side fully serrated for aggressive cutting through fibrous materials, and the other plain for controlled, clean slicing. The stonewash finish provides a non-reflective surface while hiding wear from regular use. Made from premium Böhler M390 or M390MK stainless steel, the blade ensures superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness—ideal for professional use in demanding environments.
The handle is machined from aerospace-grade 6061‑T6 aluminum and anodized in a distinctive tan finish that offers both durability and visual appeal. The refined texture and contouring on the handle enhance grip security without adding bulk, while jimping on the spine and base improves overall handling. Stainless steel hardware, a tip-down stainless pocket clip, and an integrated glass breaker round out the build, ensuring you’re ready for both daily tasks and emergency situations.
At just 3.10 ounces, the UTX-85 GEN III carries effortlessly and performs when it matters most. Made entirely in the USA, this knife reflects Microtech’s reputation for precision manufacturing and uncompromising quality. Whether you're in uniform, on the job site, or navigating urban terrain, this OTF automatic is engineered to deliver responsive action and dependable cutting performance in a streamlined form factor.
