The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto S/E Black Standard Yellow brings the legendary Ultratech-inspired performance into a compact automatic platform designed for everyday carry. Measuring 85 percent of the size of the Ultratech, the UTX-85 GEN IV delivers the same precision engineering, premium materials, and dependable functionality Microtech is known for while offering a smaller, lighter profile that’s easy to carry and quick to access.
Featuring a 3.10-inch single-edge blade, the UTX-85 GEN IV is crafted from Böhler M390MK steel, a premium blade material selected for its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. The black blade finish provides a sleek, tactical appearance while helping conceal wear from regular use. The single-edge design offers a versatile cutting edge, making this OTF automatic knife an ideal choice for everyday tasks, utility work, and reliable backup carry.
The Double-Action OTF mechanism allows the blade to deploy and retract smoothly with the push of the thumb slide, providing fast and consistent operation. Whether it’s used as a daily cutting tool or carried as part of a well-equipped gear setup, the UTX-85 GEN IV offers the dependable performance expected from Microtech’s renowned automatic knives.
The bright Yellow handle is constructed from durable 6061-T6 aluminum, creating a lightweight yet strong foundation built for everyday use. The bold color adds easy visibility while maintaining the streamlined style and ergonomic design that define the UTX-85 platform. Despite its compact size, the handle provides a comfortable grip and excellent control, giving users confidence during a variety of cutting tasks.
Additional features include proprietary screws and an integrated glass breaker, adding practical functionality to this compact OTF design. At just 3.1 ounces and 7.65 inches overall, the UTX-85 GEN IV offers an impressive balance of portability and performance. It’s small enough to carry comfortably while still providing the strength, speed, and reliability associated with full-size Microtech knives.
Built with high-quality materials and manufactured with Microtech’s commitment to precision craftsmanship, the UTX-85 GEN IV is a standout choice for collectors and everyday carry enthusiasts alike.
