The tanto blade design delivers a reinforced tip for increased strength and durability, while the partial serrated edge adds cutting versatility for tougher materials and demanding tasks.
Constructed with a durable 6061-T6 aluminum handle, the UTX-85 GEN IV provides an ideal combination of strength, lightweight performance, and comfortable ergonomics. The tan handle offers a field-ready appearance while creating a secure grip for confident operation.

Whether carried for everyday utility, outdoor adventures, professional applications, or added to a premium knife collection, this UTX-85 is built to perform when it matters most.
Measuring 7.65 inches overall and weighing only 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 strikes the perfect balance between portability and capability.
