SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 GEN IV T/E OTF Auto Stonewash Standard Tan is a precision-crafted automatic knife that brings Microtech’s legendary Ultratech® performance into a compact, carry-ready form. At 85 percent of the size of the full-size Ultratech®, the UTX-85 measures 7.65 inches in total length, features a 3.10-inch blade, and weighs just 3.1 ounces, making it perfect for everyday carry, tactical applications, or situations requiring a dependable, quickly deployable blade. Despite its smaller footprint, it retains the ergonomics and comfort of its larger counterpart, providing a secure and reliable grip in any scenario.
The blade is forged from Böhler M390MK® steel, a premium material known for its exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Its tanto edge is optimized for piercing and controlled slicing, while the stonewash finish adds a durable, non-reflective surface that resists wear and enhances the knife’s tactical appearance. This combination of high-performance steel, precise edge geometry, and rugged finish ensures the UTX-85 performs reliably in a variety of tasks, from everyday utility to tactical use.
The handle is crafted from 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a lightweight yet robust frame with a tan anodized finish that enhances corrosion resistance while adding a distinctive, tactical look. Ergonomically contoured, the handle mirrors the comfort and control of the full-size Ultratech®, ensuring a confident grip during extended use. Proprietary Microtech screws maintain structural integrity, and the integrated glass breaker adds functional versatility for emergency or tactical situations.
The GEN IV OTF mechanism delivers smooth, dependable double-action deployment and retraction, allowing quick, one-handed access to the blade. Despite its compact size, the knife retains the balance, feel, and cutting power of the larger Ultratech®, making it an excellent choice for EDC, tactical tasks, or scenarios where rapid, reliable blade deployment is essential.
