SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech UTX-85 is a sleek and compact out-the-front (OTF) automatic knife, engineered for those who demand high performance in a smaller, more portable design. Sized at 85% of the full-sized Ultratech, the UTX-85 delivers the same powerful functionality in a more manageable everyday carry (EDC) form. This knife strikes an ideal balance between size and functionality, making it a top choice for users looking for a reliable, easy-to-carry automatic knife.
Equipped with a 3.11-inch premium steel tanto blade, this UTX-85 model features a tough black-coated finish, adding both durability and a sleek aesthetic. The tanto blade profile is known for its excellent piercing ability and reinforced tip, making it highly effective in both tactical and utility applications. The black coating enhances corrosion resistance while minimizing reflections in critical situations, ensuring the blade remains sharp and reliable.
The UTX-85 operates as a dual-action automatic, allowing you to deploy and retract the blade with a simple push of the thumb slide. This smooth, rapid action ensures quick access when you need it, while the lock mechanism keeps the blade securely in place during use. The handle is crafted from contoured blue anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, giving it both strength and a lightweight feel. The anodized finish not only adds a striking visual appeal but also provides enhanced durability against wear and tear.
The handle design includes several practical features that enhance the overall functionality of the knife. The ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip ensures easy carry, regardless of hand dominance. A lanyard hole provides additional carry options, while the integrated glass breaker is a useful tool in emergency situations. Weighing just 3.1 ounces and measuring 4.4 inches when closed, the UTX-85 is exceptionally easy to carry in your pocket or on your gear, offering the convenience of a full-size knife without the bulk.
Proudly made in the USA, the UTX-85 embodies Microtech's commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and innovative design. Whether you're a seasoned knife enthusiast or someone looking for a reliable EDC, this compact OTF automatic is built to perform and withstand the demands of daily use.
