Microtech UTX-85 Gen IV OTF Automatic Knife – Tan Handle, Black Partially Serrated Tanto M390MK Blade

Refined, compact, and built for serious everyday carry, the Microtech UTX-85 Gen IV delivers everything you expect from Microtech—just in a more controllable, carry-friendly size.

Scaled to 85% of the iconic Ultratech platform, the UTX-85 strikes the perfect balance between performance and practicality. This latest Gen IV evolution introduces enhanced ergonomics with subtly rounded handle faces and strategically placed grip texturing, giving you a confident hold without sacrificing comfort in the pocket.

At its core is Microtech’s upgraded drivetrain system paired with their Crud Kutter™ technology, designed to reduce friction and improve reliability in real-world carry conditions. The redesigned firing switch offers increased surface engagement, making deployment smoother and more consistent.

This model features a rugged two-tone M390MK tanto blade with partial serrations, offering aggressive cutting power while maintaining precision control. The tan anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle is paired with black hardware, a black pocket clip, and a glass breaker equipped with a ceramic ball tip for enhanced utility without being overly aggressive in everyday carry.

Compact in size but uncompromising in performance, the UTX-85 Gen IV is built for those who demand reliability, speed, and refined execution in a premium OTF platform.
