SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 Gen III D-E in OD Green delivers cutting-edge performance in a compact and battle-ready design. Sized at 85% of the original Ultratech, the UTX-85 retains the same legendary build quality, powerful automatic action, and American craftsmanship, while offering improved portability and comfort for everyday carry or duty use.
This Gen III variant features a 3.11-inch double-edge dagger blade crafted from premium Böhler M390 or M390MK stainless steel. Both edges are partially serrated—offering a balanced configuration that excels in slicing tasks while giving you aggressive sawing power when cutting fibrous material or synthetic webbing. The stonewashed finish reduces glare and helps hide wear from regular use, giving the blade a rugged, battle-worn look.
Its OD Green handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard-anodized for durability and wear resistance. The ergonomic shape and slim profile make the knife easy to grip, while its size—just 4.38 inches closed and weighing 3.10 ounces—makes it pocket-friendly without sacrificing strength.
Microtech’s Gen III double-action OTF mechanism deploys and retracts the blade with crisp authority using the redesigned actuator switch. Internal upgrades ensure improved reliability, smooth travel, and a tactile, confident feel. Additional features include stainless steel hardware, a reversible tip-down pocket clip, and an integrated glass breaker for emergency situations.
Made entirely in the USA with attention to detail and premium materials, the UTX-85 Gen III is a compact powerhouse that stands up to real-world challenges. Whether used as a tactical tool or daily companion, this OTF automatic is engineered for fast, one-handed operation and all-around reliability. Pick out your favorite Microtech Knife at SMKW!
