SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Automatic Knife D/E Black Full Serrate Tan is a compact powerhouse built for precision, reliability, and everyday carry. At 85 percent of the size of the renowned Ultratech®, the UTX-85 delivers all the performance and durability of its larger predecessor while offering a more compact and manageable profile. Measuring 7.65" overall with a 3.10" blade and weighing just 3.1 ounces, it’s engineered to fit comfortably in your hand and pocket without compromising strength or control.
The blade is crafted from premium Böhler M390MK® stainless steel, known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability under demanding conditions. Its full serrated design enhances cutting versatility, making it ideal for slicing ropes, straps, or tough materials quickly and efficiently. The black finish provides a sleek, tactical appearance while minimizing reflections and concealing wear from daily use. As an out-the-front automatic knife, the UTX-85 offers lightning-fast deployment with a smooth, reliable action, making it a trusted tool for EDC, tactical, or professional applications.
The handle is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a lightweight yet incredibly strong frame. Ergonomically designed to fit naturally in the hand, it ensures secure, comfortable grip even during extended use. The GEN IV model continues Microtech’s tradition of meticulous attention to detail, featuring proprietary screws for enhanced durability and a glass breaker integrated into the butt of the handle for emergency situations. The tan accents contrast strikingly with the black handle and blade, giving the knife a distinctive, high-end look while maintaining a practical, tactical aesthetic.
Despite its smaller size, the UTX-85 GEN IV maintains comparable ergonomics to the Ultratech®, providing the same level of comfort, balance, and control. Its compact form makes it ideal for everyday carry, tactical situations, or as a reliable backup blade. Every component reflects Microtech’s dedication to precision engineering, making the UTX-85 a dependable tool for collectors, enthusiasts, and professionals alike.
