CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for real-world use and refined for everyday carry, the Microtech UTX-85 is a compact out-the-front automatic that doesn't cut corners. At 85% the size of the full-sized Ultratech, it brings the same power and precision in a more pocket-friendly package. Whether you’re in the field, on the job, or just prefer a smaller carry, the UTX-85 delivers reliability and speed in a tough, purpose-built frame.
The 3.11-inch partially serrated drop point blade is made from premium stainless steel and finished in a black DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating for added wear resistance and low visibility. The serrations provide extra bite when cutting through rope, webbing, or other tough material. The blade deploys and retracts with authority using Microtech’s dual-action thumb slide—clean, fast, and mechanically solid.
The handle is constructed from blue anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, engineered for lightweight strength and comfortable ergonomics. The deep carry stainless steel pocket clip is ambidextrous, allowing for versatile carry options, while the integrated glass breaker and lanyard hole add utility to the build. It’s slim, rugged, and dependable—everything you want in a hard-use automatic.
At just 4.4 inches closed and weighing only 3.1 ounces, the UTX-85 strikes the right balance between compact size and full capability. It’s built in the USA by a company that’s been pushing the boundaries of automatic knife design for decades, and it shows in every detail—from the tight tolerances to the snappy, confident deployment.
This is the kind of knife you carry when you care about performance and don’t need flash to make a statement.
