The Microtech UTX-85 delivers the proven performance of the Ultratech in a slimmer, more compact package that's purpose-built for everyday carry. Measuring approximately 85% of the full-size Ultratech, this double-action out-the-front automatic offers an ideal balance of speed, strength, and portability.
Its 3.11-inch tanto blade is crafted from Microtech's proprietary Böhler M390MK stainless steel and finished with a rugged black coating. Developed in collaboration with engineers at Böhler, M390MK is an exclusive steel designed to improve edge retention and corrosion resistance over the already respected M390. The tanto profile adds a strong, versatile cutting geometry, while the dark finish gives the knife a clean, tactical appearance.
The UTX-85's double-action OTF mechanism deploys and retracts the blade with a firm push or pull of the thumb slide. Black 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a durable, lightweight foundation, while the compact 4.4-inch closed length makes this automatic especially easy to carry.
An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip offers versatile carry, and the lanyard hole provides an additional attachment option. An integrated glass breaker adds emergency utility without compromising the streamlined profile. At just 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 carries light while delivering the rugged performance Microtech is known for.
Proudly made in the USA, the UTX-85 combines premium materials, precision engineering, and proven OTF technology in a compact package built for everyday use.
