The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto T/E Apocalyptic Standard Tan delivers the legendary performance of the Ultratech® platform in a compact, everyday carry-friendly design. Built for users who demand premium materials, reliable operation, and rugged performance, the UTX-85 offers the same commitment to precision engineering and quality craftsmanship found throughout the Microtech lineup. At 85 percent of the size of the Ultratech, this out-the-front automatic knife provides a smaller, lighter profile while maintaining the capability and confidence expected from a full-featured Microtech.
The UTX-85 features a 3.10-inch tanto edge blade crafted from premium Böhler M390MK® steel. Known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, M390MK® provides the high-performance cutting capability serious knife users expect from a premium blade steel. The Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a rugged, battle-worn appearance while helping hide everyday wear, making it an excellent choice for users who want a knife that looks as tough as it performs. The tanto blade style offers a strong reinforced tip and excellent durability for demanding cutting applications, making this UTX-85 a versatile tool for everyday carry, outdoor use, and professional tasks.
Constructed with a durable 6061-T6 aluminum handle, the UTX-85 GEN IV offers a lightweight yet rugged platform designed for comfort and control. The tan handle provides a classic tactical appearance while complementing the Apocalyptic blade finish for a cohesive, field-ready look. Despite its compact size, Microtech engineered the UTX-85 with excellent ergonomics, delivering a secure grip and comfortable handling similar to the original Ultratech without the added bulk.
The GEN IV UTX-85 features Microtech’s advanced construction, including proprietary screws and an integrated glass breaker for added versatility. The out-the-front automatic mechanism allows for quick, one-handed deployment and retraction, giving users fast access to the blade when needed. Built for dependable performance, this automatic knife is ready for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, and collection alike.
Measuring 7.65 inches overall and weighing just 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 strikes the perfect balance between portability and capability. Its compact dimensions make it easy to carry throughout the day while still providing the strength and functionality expected from a premium automatic knife. Every detail, from the precision-machined aluminum handle to the high-performance M390MK® blade steel, reflects Microtech’s dedication to innovation and craftsmanship.
The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto T/E Apocalyptic Standard Tan is a compact powerhouse designed for those who appreciate rugged style, premium materials, and dependable performance.
