Microtech UTX-85 OTF 231-1RD – Black Coated Bohler M390 Single Edge Drop Point Blade – Red 6061-T6 Aluminum Handle – Tactical Black Pocket Clip & Hardware – Double-Action Thumb Slide Out the Front Auto

Microtech – a leading brand in pocket knives, especially automatics and Out the Front autos – was founded in Vero Beach, Florida in 1994 and now runs operations out of Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Being a US-made brand, Microtech prides itself on using high quality materials combined with high level craftsmanship to create a pocket knife that will make a lifelong impression. There is a reason that Microtech knives is one of the highest selling OTF knife brands, as the smooth action, strong steel and handle materials, and great functionality make nearly every Microtech knife an incredible choice for an EDC.

Microtechs UTX-85 comes in at 15% smaller than the full-sized Ultratech, with the same incredible OTF action and overall design as its big brother. The UTX-85 is a solid choice and an absolute necessity for everyday OTF carriers looking for a mid-sized blade. Many Microtech fans start their journey with the Ultratech and move next to the X-85 due to it’s slightly shrunken down size and weight, making it a bit more of a practical everyday carry. The 85’s are one of our favorite main-line models that Microtech has to offer, featuring their signature smooth-yet-snappy double-action firing mechanism, and coming in a wide range of handle and blade color combos. The anodized 6061-T6 aluminum chassis, finished with a mil-spec hard coating, is extremely rugged and much more resistant to damage than you would expect given its smooth finish. Perfectly ergonomic, the 85 fits great in your hand, fits nicely in your pocket, and steps up to the task in all situations with its high-grade and dependable materials. With a sub-3.5” blade, a tip-down pocket clip, and a prominent spine-side thumb slide, the UTX-85 by Microtech is simply one of the best EDC OTFs you can find on the market.

This model UTX-85 comes with a black coated, single edge drop point blade made of Bohler M390 steel, one of the best knife steels there is. The 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum handle comes with a firefighter-esque stunning red finish. A rugged ball-tip glass breaker for emergencies, black hardware, and a tactical black tip-down pocket clip round off this knife that is sure to prove itself as an enjoyable daily carry and user.
