CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESCompact, reliable, and ready for hard use, the Microtech UTX-85 delivers full-size performance in a scaled-down automatic package. At 85% the size of the Ultratech, it was built for those who demand speed and control without the bulk. Whether you're on duty, off-grid, or simply need a dependable everyday carry, the UTX-85 hits that sweet spot of function and form.
The 3.11-inch partially serrated drop point blade is crafted from premium steel and finished with a rugged stonewash that hides wear and tear. Serrations near the base offer added bite for tougher materials like rope, webbing, or plastic, while the plain edge tip keeps precision work clean. The blade fires with authority via the thumb slide, locking open and retracting smoothly thanks to Microtech’s proven dual-action out-the-front mechanism.
The handle is made from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, anodized in a striking turquoise that’s tough enough for daily abuse yet stands out from the pack. Ergonomics are well thought out, with subtle contours and texturing for a secure grip in gloved or bare hands. A glass breaker at the base, a lanyard hole for added carry options, and an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip round out the UTX-85’s practical feature set.
At just 4.4 inches closed and 3.1 ounces in weight, the UTX-85 is built to disappear in your pocket until it's time to act. Proudly made in the USA, this knife blends compact utility with tactical pedigree for a tool that won’t back down.
