SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 Gen III combines hard-use functionality with a streamlined EDC profile, and this version—with its partially serrated blade and tan anodized handles—adds serious cutting power to a compact, pocket-ready design. At 85% the size of the Ultratech, the UTX-85 is perfect for everyday carry without sacrificing strength, speed, or style. It features a 3.11" double-edged dagger blade made from premium M390MK stainless steel with a rugged stonewashed finish and partial serrations—ideal for tearing through tough materials while still offering precision at the tip.
This dual-action out-the-front automatic deploys and retracts via Microtech’s signature thumb slide mechanism. The Gen III upgrades make it smoother and tougher than ever: Krud Kutter grooves in the slide help shed lint and debris, while a ceramic ball on the clip reduces pocket wear and improves retention. Inside, the Dual Fuel Drive system ensures lightning-fast blade action, and upgraded Torx hardware adds strength and serviceability.
The contoured tan anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handle offers a secure, ergonomic grip with a no-nonsense aesthetic. It’s equipped with a hardened glass breaker, ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip, and lanyard hole for carry flexibility. At just 4.4" closed and weighing 3.1oz, the UTX-85 Gen III is a high-performance automatic that fits perfectly into daily life or professional duty use. Built in the USA with Microtech’s unmatched attention to detail, this blade is ready for real-world tasks the second it hits your pocket.
