The Microtech UTX-85 OTF Auto S/E GEN IV Signature Series Topographic Black/Orange Camo Standard delivers the proven performance of Microtech’s iconic Ultratech platform in a more compact package. Measuring 85 percent of the Ultratech’s size, the UTX-85 is designed for comfortable everyday carry while retaining the robust construction, reliable automatic action, and practical features Microtech is known for.
At 7.65 inches overall with a 3.10-inch blade, the UTX-85 strikes a balance between compact carry and capable cutting performance. Weighing just 3.1 ounces, it won't weigh down your pocket, making it an excellent choice for everyday carry. Its ergonomic chassis maintains the familiar feel of the larger Ultratech while offering dimensions that are easier to carry and handle throughout the day.
The blade is crafted from Böhler M390MK steel, a premium blade steel selected for its combination of edge retention, durability, and corrosion resistance. The single-edge configuration provides a practical cutting profile for everyday tasks, while the out-the-front automatic mechanism allows the blade to deploy and retract directly through the integrated firing button.
Both the blade and handle are finished in Microtech’s distinctive Topographic Black/Orange Camo pattern. The contrasting black and orange camouflage gives this UTX-85 a bold Signature Series appearance, while the topographic detailing adds visual depth to the compact design. With the matching finish carried across the blade and handle, the entire knife has a cohesive, unmistakable look.
The handle is constructed from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a durable chassis without adding unnecessary bulk. Proprietary screws help complete the streamlined construction, while the integrated glass breaker adds another practical feature to the compact OTF platform.
As part of the GEN IV lineup, the UTX-85 combines Microtech’s established OTF design with updated construction and materials. Its compact proportions, lightweight build, premium M390MK blade, and ergonomic handling make it well suited for collectors and everyday carriers looking for a smaller Microtech that doesn't compromise on capability.
The Microtech UTX-85 Signature Series Topographic Black/Orange Camo brings together American-made craftsmanship, premium materials, and distinctive styling in a compact OTF built for everyday carry.
