The Microtech UTX-85 OTF Auto D/E Satin Serrated Black brings the legendary performance of the Ultratech® platform into a compact, everyday carry design built for serious knife users. Measuring 85 percent of the size of the Ultratech, the UTX-85 delivers the same commitment to precision engineering, premium materials, and dependable functionality while offering a smaller, lighter profile that’s easy to carry. With its sleek black 6061-T6 aluminum handle, satin finished blade, and versatile dual-edge configuration, this automatic knife combines rugged capability with refined Microtech craftsmanship.
The UTX-85 features a 3.10-inch double-edge blade crafted from premium Böhler M390MK® steel. One edge of the blade is fully serrated for enhanced cutting performance on tougher materials, while the opposite edge features a plain standard edge for smooth, controlled slicing and precision cutting. This versatile blade setup gives users the best of both worlds, providing aggressive cutting power when needed and a clean edge for everyday utility tasks. Known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability, M390MK® delivers the high-performance characteristics expected from a premium Microtech blade. The satin finish adds a classic, refined appearance while highlighting the precision craftsmanship behind the knife.
Constructed with a rugged 6061-T6 aluminum handle, the UTX-85 offers an ideal balance of strength, lightweight performance, and comfortable ergonomics. The black handle provides a sleek tactical appearance while maintaining a secure grip during use. Despite its compact size, Microtech engineered the UTX-85 to provide handling characteristics similar to the original Ultratech, giving users a confident feel in hand without the added bulk of a larger automatic knife.
This UTX-85 model features Microtech’s advanced construction, including proprietary screws and an integrated glass breaker for added versatility. The out-the-front automatic mechanism allows for fast, one-handed blade deployment and retraction, providing quick access and reliable operation when needed. Designed for everyday carry, this knife delivers premium performance in a compact package that’s ready for work, outdoor adventures, or collection.
Measuring 7.65 inches overall and weighing only 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 is built for maximum capability without unnecessary weight. Its compact dimensions make it comfortable for daily pocket carry, while its premium materials and rugged construction ensure it can handle demanding tasks. From the precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum handle to the high-performance M390MK® blade steel, every component reflects Microtech’s dedication to quality, innovation, and craftsmanship.
