CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for those who want the proven performance of a full-sized OTF but in a more compact, pocket-friendly profile, the Microtech UTX-85 hits that sweet spot. At 85% the size of the Ultratech, it’s scaled for everyday carry without giving up the speed, reliability, or rugged build quality Microtech is known for. This version features a 3.11" partially serrated drop point blade crafted from premium steel and finished in a stonewash that shrugs off wear and hard use.
The blade deploys and retracts via a dual-action thumb slide—lightning fast and easy to operate with one hand. Whether you’re slicing, piercing, or sawing through tougher material, the partial serrations give you added bite when you need it most. The overall construction is all business, made for those who don’t want compromise in a tool they carry daily.
The handle is contoured for control and comfort, machined from tough 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with a bold anodized red finish that sets it apart. Microtech’s signature attention to detail shows up in the little things: the precise machining, the secure tip-down stainless steel pocket clip, the built-in glass breaker for emergencies, and the lanyard hole for added carry options. At 4.4" closed and weighing just 3.1 ounces, it stays light in the pocket while remaining ready for serious work.
Made in the USA and built to Microtech’s exacting standards, the UTX-85 is a compact automatic knife that punches well above its size.
