The Microtech UTX-85 delivers the proven performance of the Ultratech in a slimmer, more compact package, measuring approximately 85% of the full-size model. Built for everyday carry, this out-the-front automatic packs serious cutting capability into a lightweight design that's easy to carry and quick to deploy.
Its 3.11-inch full-serrated tanto blade is crafted from Microtech's proprietary Böhler M390MK stainless steel and given a distinctive Apocalyptic finish. This rugged treatment creates a battle-worn appearance with plenty of character while helping disguise the marks that come with hard use. Developed in collaboration with engineers at Böhler, M390MK is an exclusive steel designed to improve edge retention and corrosion resistance over the already respected M390.
The double-action OTF mechanism fires the blade with authority at the push of the thumb slide, which also retracts and locks the blade securely in place. Anodized red 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a lightweight, durable foundation while giving this UTX-85 a bold visual punch. At just 4.4 inches closed and 3.1 ounces, it's compact enough for comfortable everyday carry without sacrificing capability.
An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip provides versatile carry, while the lanyard hole and integrated glass breaker add practical utility. Proudly made in the USA, the UTX-85 combines Microtech's precision engineering with premium materials and unmistakable OTF performance.
