Microtech UTX-85 Gen IV OTF Automatic Black Standard Edge T/E Yellow AUMT123341YW

The Microtech UTX-85 out-the-front automatic is built for those who want the speed and strength of a Microtech OTF in a size that’s easier to carry every day. Designed at roughly 85% of the iconic Ultratech, the UTX-85 keeps the same rugged construction, lightning-fast deployment, and premium materials while offering a slimmer, more pocket-friendly profile that excels as a daily companion.

The blade measures 3.11" and features a hard-working tanto profile with a standard edge. Crafted from premium blade steel, it offers impressive edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting durability. The tanto design provides excellent piercing capability along with a reinforced tip that handles tough cutting tasks with confidence. Its strong secondary point and straight cutting edge make it ideal for slicing, utility work, and controlled push cuts. A durable black coated finish gives the blade a low-glare tactical appearance while helping protect the steel from wear and corrosion during heavy use.

Microtech’s renowned double-action out-the-front automatic mechanism delivers smooth, reliable performance every time. A firm push on the thumb slide sends the blade snapping forward into lockup, while pulling the slider back retracts it cleanly into the handle. The action is fast, precise, and built to withstand years of dependable use.

The handle is machined from tough 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and finished in a bold yellow Cerakote coating that adds both durability and standout visual appeal. The lightweight construction keeps the knife comfortable in the pocket while still providing the strength Microtech knives are known for. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for secure carry, while a built-in glass breaker and lanyard hole add practical emergency and utility features.

Measuring 4.4" closed and weighing just 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 offers excellent balance between capability and portability. It’s compact enough for daily carry yet strong enough to handle demanding cutting tasks. Like all Microtech automatics, it’s proudly made in the USA with precision craftsmanship and premium materials.
