SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Black Part Serrate Black Tan is a compact tactical powerhouse, engineered for speed, precision, and reliability in a smaller, more versatile package. At 85 percent the size of the full-sized Ultratech®, it measures 7.65 inches overall and features a 3.10-inch Böhler M390MK® blade, striking the perfect balance between portability and full-sized performance. Weighing just 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 offers exceptional maneuverability while maintaining the ergonomics and comfort of its larger counterpart, making it ideal for everyday carry, tactical applications, or outdoor adventures.
The blade’s black part-serrated edge enhances versatility, allowing users to handle a variety of cutting tasks, from precise slicing to tougher, fibrous materials. The double-edged design adds tactical functionality, providing options for piercing and controlled cutting, while the black finish delivers a sleek, low-profile appearance suited for both professional and tactical use. Crafted from Böhler M390MK® steel, the blade maintains its edge under rigorous use, resists corrosion, and delivers long-lasting durability, ensuring that the knife performs at the highest level when it’s needed most.
The handle, made from durable 6061-T6 aluminum with a tan finish, provides a secure, comfortable grip while complementing the tactical aesthetic. Its contoured design ensures excellent ergonomics, even during extended use or high-stress situations, and proprietary screws allow for easy maintenance and longevity. The integrated glass breaker adds a practical element for emergencies, further enhancing the knife’s utility. Despite its smaller footprint, the UTX-85 maintains the signature feel and handling of the full-sized Ultratech®, delivering confidence and control with every deployment.
Deployment is rapid and intuitive with the out-the-front automatic mechanism. A simple push of the thumb slider extends or retracts the blade smoothly and consistently, making it ideal for situations that demand speed and precision. Its compact size allows it to fit comfortably in pockets or gear, providing ready access while remaining lightweight and unobtrusive. Tactical precision meets compact power — the black and tan Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto Part Serrated dominates every mission at SMKW.
