CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe St. Patrick’s Day spirit hits full throttle with this Limited Edition Microtech UTX-85, a festive automatic that blends collectible flair with the hard-hitting performance Microtech is known for. Built at roughly 85% the size of the legendary Ultratech, the UTX-85 carries the same lightning-fast out-the-front action in a slimmer, easier-to-carry package. This 2026 holiday edition doesn’t just celebrate the occasion—it practically glows with it.
The red anodized handle is decked out with exclusive St. Patrick’s Day artwork that gives the knife its unmistakable personality, but the real party trick appears when the lights go down. The special edition graphics are UV reactive, meaning they spring to life under a blacklight with vibrant glowing detail. It’s the kind of feature that instantly turns a great knife into a conversation piece, making it equally at home in a collector’s display or riding in your pocket during the festivities. Bold, playful, and unmistakably Microtech, it captures the energy of the holiday without sacrificing performance.
Once you get past the celebratory design, the serious engineering takes over. The knife features a 3.11" double-edge dagger blade crafted from premium M390MK stainless steel, a high-performance steel known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The blade wears a striking red finish that complements the handle and adds another layer of visual punch. Deployment and retraction happen through Microtech’s precise out-the-front automatic mechanism, activated by a thumb slide that delivers fast, smooth, and reliable action with a solid lockup.
The handle is machined from anodized red 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, giving the knife impressive strength while keeping the weight down. It measures 4.4" closed and weighs just 3.1 ounces, making it easy to carry all day without sacrificing the confident feel Microtech fans expect. A stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip provides flexible carry options, while the integrated glass breaker and lanyard hole add practical utility when it matters most.
