The Microtech UTX-85 Gen IV OTF Auto S/E Black Standard Blue delivers precision engineering, premium materials, and dependable performance in a compact automatic knife designed for everyday carry. Measuring approximately 85 percent of the size of the original Ultratech, the UTX-85 offers a streamlined profile without sacrificing the quality and functionality Microtech enthusiasts expect. Its sleek black blade and vibrant blue handle create a striking contrast, giving this knife a distinctive appearance that stands out in any collection.
At the center of this UTX-85 is a 3.10-inch single-edge blade crafted from Böhler M390MK stainless steel. This premium blade steel is valued for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, making it a solid choice for users who appreciate lasting cutting performance. The black blade finish adds a tactical look while complementing the blue handle for a clean, modern aesthetic. The single-edge configuration provides a versatile cutting profile suited to everyday tasks, from opening packages to handling routine cutting chores.
Microtech's out-the-front automatic mechanism allows the blade to deploy and retract with a thumb-operated slider, providing convenient one-handed operation. Its double-action functionality makes deployment and retraction straightforward, while the precision-built mechanism reflects Microtech's commitment to reliable performance and carefully engineered design. Whether you're adding another automatic to your collection or looking for a compact option for everyday carry, the UTX-85 delivers the distinctive operation that has made Microtech OTF knives popular among enthusiasts.
The handle is constructed from durable 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a strong yet lightweight foundation for daily use. Its blue finish adds a bold splash of color against the black blade, while the carefully considered ergonomics provide a comfortable grip in a smaller overall package. Proprietary screws contribute to the knife's specialized construction, and an integrated glass breaker adds a practical emergency feature.
Measuring 7.65 inches overall and weighing just 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 Gen IV is easy to incorporate into an everyday-carry setup without adding excessive bulk. Its compact dimensions make it convenient to carry, while the premium M390MK blade and durable aluminum handle provide the quality materials expected from Microtech. Combining distinctive styling, efficient operation, and thoughtful construction, this automatic knife is an excellent addition for Microtech collectors and experienced knife enthusiasts alike.
