The Microtech UTX-85 T/E 4th of July Edition is a rare commemorative release created to honor America's 250th anniversary with unmistakable patriotic style and American-made craftsmanship. Limited in production, this special-edition OTF automatic combines Microtech's legendary performance with a one-of-a-kind American flag Cerakote finish, making it a standout piece for collectors, patriots, and serious knife enthusiasts alike.
Built at 85 percent the size of the full-size Ultratech, the UTX-85 delivers the same dependable Microtech engineering in a compact package that's comfortable for everyday carry. Its 3.13-inch tanto blade is crafted from Böhler M390MK stainless tool steel, a premium powder steel known for outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade features a flat grind and rugged Apocalyptic finish, giving it a battle-ready appearance while helping conceal the wear that comes with regular use.
The lightweight 4.37-inch aluminum handle is the centerpiece of this limited edition release, featuring an American flag Cerakote pattern designed specifically to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary. The dual-action out-the-front mechanism provides rapid automatic deployment and retraction with Microtech's proven thumb slide system, while the integrated glass breaker adds valuable emergency capability. An ambidextrous pocket clip allows comfortable carry for either hand, and the 7.5-inch overall length and 3.8-ounce weight make it an ideal everyday companion.
Proudly made in the USA, the UTX-85 T/E 4th of July Edition isn't just another Microtech automatic—it's a limited-run tribute to American heritage, innovation, and craftsmanship. Once this commemorative production ends, these patriotic collector pieces won't be around forever.
