The Microtech UTX-85 Outbreak Edition takes compact OTF performance into apocalyptic territory with a design inspired by the gritty imagery of zombie outbreak horror movies. Built on Microtech’s proven UTX-85 platform, this double-action automatic delivers serious cutting capability while looking like it was pulled straight from a survival kit in the middle of a cinematic outbreak.
Its 3.11-inch dagger blade is crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK stainless steel and treated with an Apocalyptic finish that gives the blade a rugged, battle-worn appearance. 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 distressed green aircraft-grade aluminum handles push the Outbreak Edition’s theme even further, featuring a convincing blood spatter effect and a biohazard symbol graphic on the rear handle. The result is a knife with plenty of attitude and an unmistakable horror-inspired aesthetic that's sure to attract attention.
The double-action OTF mechanism deploys and retracts the blade with the thumb slide, while the compact 4.4-inch closed length and 3.1-ounce weight make it easy to carry. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip provides versatile carry, and the integrated glass breaker and lanyard hole add practical utility.
Proudly made in the USA, the UTX-85 Outbreak Edition is more than an automatic knife. It's a conversation piece built for Microtech enthusiasts, horror fans, collectors, and anyone who appreciates a knife with serious personality.
