The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Apocalyptic Part Serrated Red delivers the legendary performance of the Ultratech platform in a more compact, everyday carry-friendly design. Built at 85 percent of the size of the Ultratech, the UTX-85 GEN IV offers the same precision engineering, premium materials, and dependable functionality Microtech enthusiasts expect, all packed into a lightweight automatic knife that’s easy to carry and quick to deploy.
Featuring a 3.10-inch double-edge blade, the UTX-85 GEN IV is crafted from premium Böhler M390MK steel, a proprietary steel selected for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability. The Apocalyptic blade finish provides a rugged, battle-worn appearance while helping conceal wear from regular use. Both edges of the double-edge blade feature partial serrations, adding enhanced cutting versatility and allowing the knife to handle tougher materials while maintaining precision for everyday tasks.
The Double-Action OTF mechanism allows the blade to deploy and retract smoothly with a simple push of the thumb slide, providing fast access and reliable operation. Whether it’s carried as an everyday tool, a trusted backup, or a collectible piece of Microtech craftsmanship, the UTX-85 GEN IV is built to perform when needed.
The vibrant Red handle is constructed from durable 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a lightweight yet strong platform designed for everyday use. Despite its compact size, the ergonomic design provides a comfortable and secure grip, maintaining the same attention to handling and control found in larger Microtech models. The addition of a glass breaker further enhances its practical functionality, giving this compact OTF another useful capability.
At just 3.1 ounces and measuring 7.65 inches overall, the UTX-85 GEN IV strikes an ideal balance between portability and performance. It’s compact enough for comfortable everyday carry while still offering the strength and reliability expected from a full-featured Microtech automatic knife. Proprietary screws and precision construction ensure that every component works together for lasting performance.
Proudly made with high-quality materials and Microtech’s renowned attention to detail, the UTX-85 GEN IV is a standout choice for those who want premium OTF performance in a smaller package. Its bold Red handle, Apocalyptic blade finish, and dual partially serrated edges make it a functional tool and a distinctive addition to any collection.
