Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto S/E Black Standard Black Tactical AUMT123141T

The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto S/E Black Standard Black Tactical delivers proven performance in a compact, everyday-carry-friendly package without sacrificing capability. Built at 85 percent the size of the legendary Ultratech, this model brings the same engineering discipline and reliability into a slimmer, lighter profile that disappears in the pocket yet performs with authority when called upon. It’s designed for users who want Microtech quality in a more streamlined format.

At the core of the UTX-85 is a 3.10-inch single-edge blade crafted from Böhler M390MK steel, a premium alloy developed specifically for Microtech. Known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, this blade is built to handle consistent use with minimal maintenance. The standard edge delivers clean, precise cuts, making it well suited for everyday tasks while still offering the strength expected from a serious automatic knife. Finished in black, the blade maintains a low-profile appearance that minimizes glare and reinforces its tactical character.

The handle is machined from lightweight yet durable 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in black to match the blade for a cohesive, understated look. Despite its reduced dimensions, the UTX-85 maintains ergonomics comparable to the full-size Ultratech, providing a comfortable and secure grip that feels natural in hand. At just 3.1 ounces, it carries easily without feeling fragile, offering a solid, confidence-inspiring balance that’s ideal for daily carry.

As a GEN IV model, this UTX-85 benefits from refined internal construction that delivers smooth, consistent double-action OTF deployment. The blade fires and retracts cleanly with a controlled, reliable action that’s become a hallmark of Microtech’s automatic platforms. Proprietary hardware ensures long-term durability and precise fitment, while an integrated glass breaker adds utility without unnecessary bulk.

Made in the USA, the UTX-85 reflects the precision machining, innovation, and attention to detail that define Microtech. It’s a knife built for those who appreciate compact efficiency without compromise, offering a dependable automatic option that fits seamlessly into everyday carry while maintaining the performance standards Microtech is known for.
