SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Automatic in OD Green is a compact, precision-engineered knife that brings the performance and craftsmanship of Microtech’s flagship Ultratech series into a smaller, highly portable package. At 85 percent of the size of a full Ultratech, this model measures 8.54 inches overall and features a 3.55-inch double-edge apocalyptic blade crafted from Böhler M390MK stainless steel, known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. Despite its reduced size, the UTX-85 GEN IV maintains the ergonomics, balance, and cutting power of its larger counterpart, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry, tactical operations, and demanding tasks.
The apocalyptic finish on the blade gives it a rugged, battle-ready appearance while minimizing glare and hiding wear, making it perfect for both practical use and display. The dual-action out-the-front (OTF) mechanism delivers smooth, reliable blade deployment and retraction, enhanced by Microtech’s proprietary Dual-Fuel Drive Train™. This system ensures consistent performance with minimal effort, allowing users to operate the knife efficiently in high-pressure or fast-paced scenarios. A glass breaker tip adds emergency functionality, further extending the versatility of this compact tool.
The handle is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum with a durable OD Green anodized finish, providing a lightweight yet strong platform for secure handling. Thoughtful contouring and textured surfaces enhance grip and comfort during use, while the inclusion of Torx-secured hardware underscores Microtech’s attention to precision and durability. The knife also features a reversible tip-down pocket clip for convenient carry, accommodating both right- and left-handed users. Weighing just 3.61 ounces, the UTX-85 GEN IV balances portability and strength, offering a knife that’s both easy to carry and capable of heavy-duty performance.
Every component of the Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV reflects meticulous engineering and American craftsmanship, from the hardened M390MK steel to the anodized aluminum handle. Compact, versatile, and built to exacting standards, this OTF automatic is a reliable tool for collectors, professionals, and enthusiasts who demand precision, durability, and tactical readiness.
