SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 is a compact out-the-front automatic built for everyday readiness without sacrificing power or precision. At 85% the size of the full Ultratech, this slimmed-down platform offers all the cutting-edge performance Microtech is known for in a more pocket-friendly design. Proudly made in the USA, the UTX-85 is purpose-built for professionals, first responders, and anyone who needs a dependable automatic on hand.
The 3.11-inch partially serrated drop point blade is forged from premium steel and finished in Microtech’s Apocalyptic coating, giving it a battle-worn look that’s entirely unique to each knife. The edge combines a fine tip for piercing tasks with a serrated section that excels at ripping through cordage, rope, or tough material when seconds count. Deployment is fast and smooth with a responsive thumb slide, and the blade locks up with authority the moment it's fired.
Its 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handle is anodized gray for a clean, low-profile appearance that’s as durable as it is tactical. The shape is contoured for control, and the frame includes a glass breaker, lanyard hole, and a stainless steel pocket clip that’s reversible for ambidextrous carry. At just 4.4 inches closed and a mere 3.1 ounces, this knife disappears in the pocket until it's called into action.
Whether you're navigating daily tasks or facing high-pressure situations, the UTX-85 delivers reliability, speed, and strength in a compact frame. It's a true American-made tool, crafted with the attention to detail and precision Microtech knives are known for.
