SHOP CASE KNIVESThere are tools you carry because you must, and there are tools you carry because you trust them with everything. The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto is the latter. With each snap of the thumb slide, its purpose is made clear. The sound is crisp, the action decisive, and in that instant, readiness becomes reality. Born from the heritage of the Ultratech but refined into a compact, everyday-carry size, this knife is a response to the needs of those who demand reliability without compromise. Cloaked in OD Green and armed with a rugged stonewash, plain-edge double-edge blade, the UTX-85 GEN IV doesn’t just ride in your pocket—it earns its place there. Whether on the trail, in the line of duty, or simply at hand for life’s daily challenges, it’s a tool engineered for those who live prepared.
Microtech listened to its most dedicated users in creating the UTX-85 GEN IV. This generation returns to a proven conventional firing mechanism while introducing cutting-edge refinements. The Dual-Fuel Drive Train delivers more power and smoother deployment, while the innovative Crud Kutter system ensures the firing channel stays clear of debris for consistent reliability. With a Böhler M390MK super steel blade and a precision-machined aluminum handle, every detail has been built for strength, speed, and performance in the real world.
The UTX-85 GEN IV measures 7.50 inches overall, with a 3.125-inch double-edge blade crafted from Böhler M390MK super steel. Its keen, plain edges offer incredible slicing performance for clean, precise cuts, while the rugged stonewash finish helps hide wear from use. The blade thickness is 0.13 inches, giving it a balanced profile for both slicing and piercing tasks. The handle is constructed from OD Green anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, offering strength and a secure grip while keeping the knife lightweight at just 3.1 ounces. When closed, the knife measures 4.375 inches, making it compact enough for discreet carry. A reversible tip-down pocket clip, tungsten carbide glass breaker, and proprietary hardware complete the package. Its double-action out-the-front automatic design ensures fast, one-handed deployment and retraction with the push of a thumb slide.
For the everyday carrier, the UTX-85 GEN IV offers uncompromising capability in a compact frame that disappears in your pocket yet tackles demanding cutting tasks from opening packages to detailed work with ease. For first responders, its one-handed deployment, versatile plain edge blade, and hardened glass breaker can save critical seconds in emergencies. For outdoor adventurers, the premium steel and stonewash finish provide durability and corrosion resistance for miles of demanding use.
The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV is more than just a knife—it’s an assurance of readiness, precision, and confidence.
