The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto T/E Full Serrated Black Tactical delivers the legendary performance of the Ultratech® platform in a compact package built for serious everyday carry. Measuring 85 percent of the size of the original Ultratech, the UTX-85 offers the same precision engineering, premium materials, and uncompromising reliability that have made Microtech a leader in out-the-front automatic knives. Lightweight, durable, and exceptionally capable, it's designed for users who demand full-size performance in a streamlined, pocket-friendly format.
At the heart of the UTX-85 is a 3.10-inch tanto blade crafted from premium Böhler M390MK® steel. Renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and outstanding toughness, M390MK® is engineered to maintain peak cutting performance through hard use. The tactical black finish gives the blade a low-profile appearance while adding another layer of protection against wear and corrosion. The reinforced tanto tip offers superior piercing strength and enhanced durability for demanding cutting applications, while the full serrated edge is purpose-built to power through rope, webbing, heavy cordage, and other tough fibrous materials with aggressive cutting efficiency.
The handle is precision machined from lightweight yet durable 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a tactical black coating that complements the blade for a clean, mission-ready appearance. Despite its compact dimensions, the UTX-85 retains the excellent ergonomics of its larger Ultratech counterpart, providing a secure, comfortable grip and confident handling during extended use. Its slim profile makes it easy to carry every day without sacrificing control or capability when the job demands it.
As part of the GEN IV lineup, the UTX-85 features Microtech's refined out-the-front automatic mechanism, delivering fast, smooth, and dependable one-handed deployment and retraction. Precision-machined proprietary screws reinforce the knife's premium construction, while the integrated glass breaker adds emergency functionality without increasing bulk. Every detail reflects Microtech's relentless commitment to innovation, precision manufacturing, and real-world performance.
Measuring 7.65 inches overall and weighing just 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 is built for users who want maximum capability in a compact automatic knife. Whether it's riding in your pocket as a dependable everyday carry tool, accompanying you into the field, or becoming the latest addition to a premium Microtech collection, this knife is engineered to perform with consistency and confidence. From its precision-machined aluminum handle to its high-performance M390MK® blade, every component is designed to deliver years of reliable service.
