CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 Gen III brings full-sized performance to a compact frame, and this partially serrated version adds even more versatility to an already capable everyday carry. Sized at 85% of the iconic Ultratech, it’s purpose-built for users who need power, speed, and precision in a lighter, more pocketable package. The 3.11" M390MK dagger blade features a rugged stonewashed finish and partial serrations—ideal for cutting through tougher materials like rope, webbing, or packaging without sacrificing the fine-point piercing ability of a dagger grind.
This dual-action out-the-front automatic deploys and retracts with speed and authority using Microtech’s proven thumb slide mechanism. On this upgraded Gen III model, the slide now features Krud Kutter grooves designed to clear debris and pocket lint with every use. The clip has also been re-engineered with a ceramic ball to minimize fabric wear and improve retention. Inside, the Dual Fuel Drive system delivers lightning-fast deployment, while upgraded Torx hardware enhances overall strength and serviceability.
The contoured blue anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles offer a secure grip and a striking appearance, with an ergonomic shape that disappears in the pocket but feels locked-in when it’s time to go to work. Additional features include a glass breaker for emergencies, a lanyard hole for carry options, and an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip. At just 4.4" closed and weighing 3.1oz, the UTX-85 Gen III is a lean, mean cutting machine that’s proudly made in the USA.
