SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV T/E OTF Auto Stonewash Standard Black is a compact, high-performance out-the-front automatic knife that brings the legendary quality and precision of Microtech’s Ultratech® into a more portable package. At 85 percent of the Ultratech®’s size, the UTX-85 measures 7.65 inches in total length with a 3.10-inch blade and weighs just 3.1 ounces, making it ideal for everyday carry, tactical use, or situations where a dependable, easily deployable blade is required. Despite its smaller dimensions, it retains the ergonomics and feel of its full-size predecessor, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip during extended use.
The blade is forged from Böhler M390MK® steel, a premium material recognized for its exceptional hardness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The tanto edge is designed for precision piercing and controlled slicing, making it a versatile tool for tactical or utility tasks. The stonewash finish provides a durable, non-reflective surface that resists wear and maintains the knife’s professional appearance over time. Every edge is engineered to deliver clean, reliable performance, giving the user confidence in demanding scenarios.
The handle is crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a lightweight yet extremely durable framework. The anodized black finish enhances corrosion resistance while adding a sleek tactical look. Ergonomically contoured, the handle mirrors the Ultratech®’s comfort and control, while proprietary Microtech screws ensure the structural integrity of the knife. An integrated glass breaker adds functional versatility, making the UTX-85 suitable for emergency or tactical applications in addition to everyday carry.
Microtech’s GEN IV OTF mechanism provides smooth, reliable double-action deployment and retraction, allowing rapid access to the blade with a simple thumb slide. The compact design does not compromise performance, retaining the balance, feel, and cutting power of the larger Ultratech®. Its lightweight construction and thoughtful engineering make it a practical choice for EDC, tactical tasks, and situations where quick, dependable blade deployment is essential.
