SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV T/E OTF Auto Stonewash Standard Blue is a compact, high-performance out-the-front automatic knife that condenses the legendary Ultratech® experience into a more portable and carry-friendly form. 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 perfect for everyday carry, tactical use, or situations requiring a dependable, quickly deployable blade. Despite its smaller dimensions, it maintains the ergonomics and feel of the larger Ultratech®, delivering a comfortable and secure grip for extended use.
The blade is crafted from Böhler M390MK® steel, renowned for its outstanding edge retention, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Its tanto edge is optimized for piercing and precise slicing, while the stonewash finish provides a non-reflective, durable surface that minimizes visible wear. This combination of high-performance steel, precise edge geometry, and durable finish ensures the UTX-85 performs reliably in both tactical and utility applications.
The handle is made from 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a lightweight yet strong framework with an anodized blue finish that resists corrosion and adds visual appeal. Ergonomically contoured, the handle offers a grip comparable to the full-size Ultratech®, while proprietary Microtech screws ensure structural integrity. Integrated into the handle is a glass breaker, adding versatility for emergency situations and enhancing the knife’s utility.
Microtech’s GEN IV OTF mechanism delivers smooth, reliable double-action deployment and retraction, allowing rapid, one-handed access to the blade. Despite its compact size, the knife retains the balance, cutting power, and feel of the full-size Ultratech®, making it an ideal choice for EDC, tactical use, and any situation where speed, reliability, and precision are essential.
Engineered for compact versatility, precision, and lasting performance, the UTX-85 GEN IV T/E OTF Auto Stonewash Standard Blue exemplifies Microtech’s commitment to high-quality, professional-grade automatic knives.
