The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto T/E Stonewash Partial Serrated Tan packs the legendary performance of the Ultratech® platform into a compact, everyday carry-ready package. Measuring 85 percent of the size of the original Ultratech, the UTX-85 delivers the same precision engineering, premium materials, and dependable operation that have made Microtech one of the most respected names in automatic knives. Its streamlined size makes it ideal for daily carry while sacrificing nothing in strength, capability, or confidence.
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, outstanding corrosion resistance, and impressive toughness, M390MK® is built to withstand demanding use while maintaining a razor-sharp edge. The rugged stonewash finish helps disguise everyday wear, scratches, and use marks, giving the blade a hard-working appearance that only gets better with time. The reinforced tanto tip excels at piercing tasks and provides added strength where it's needed most, while the partial serrated edge delivers extra cutting power through rope, webbing, and other fibrous materials without sacrificing the clean slicing performance of the plain edge.
The lightweight yet durable 6061-T6 aluminum handle is finished in a rugged tan color that complements the stonewashed blade and gives the knife a field-ready appearance. Despite its compact dimensions, the UTX-85 maintains the outstanding ergonomics of its larger Ultratech counterpart, offering a secure, comfortable grip that inspires confidence during extended use. Every contour is carefully engineered to maximize control while keeping the knife slim enough for effortless pocket carry.
As a GEN IV model, this UTX-85 incorporates Microtech's proven out-the-front automatic mechanism for smooth, rapid one-handed deployment and retraction. Precision-machined proprietary hardware and an integrated glass breaker further enhance its functionality, making it a dependable companion whether you're tackling everyday cutting chores, working in demanding environments, or expanding a premium knife collection. Every component reflects Microtech's unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail.
Measuring 7.65 inches overall and weighing just 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 is perfectly sized for users who want full-sized capability in a more compact package. Its lightweight construction makes all-day carry effortless, while its premium materials ensure it's ready for years of dependable service. From the precision-machined aluminum handle to the high-performance M390MK® blade, every detail is designed to deliver exceptional reliability and performance.
The Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV OTF Auto T/E Stonewash Partial Serrated Tan proves that compact doesn't mean compromised. Combining a rugged stonewashed M390MK® tanto blade, durable tan 6061-T6 aluminum handle, and Microtech's renowned automatic action, this knife is built to excel wherever your everyday carry takes you.
