Microtech 232-1BL UTX-85 OTF Blue Knife
Experience the perfect marriage of compact convenience and powerhouse performance with the Microtech UTX-85 OTF Blue knife. At just 85 percent the size of its legendary predecessor, the Ultratech, the UTX-85 packs the same cutting-edge engineering and premium materials into a sleeker, more pocket-friendly design. Whether you’re slicing through rope on a weekend adventure or unwrapping parcels at the office, its razor-sharp blade and lightning-fast deployment ensure you’re always ready for action.
Crafted from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and treated with a vibrant blue Mil-Spec hard-coat anodize, this knife stands out as much for its eye-catching finish as for its rock-solid durability. The 3-inch, double-edged dagger blade glides through tasks with surgical precision, while the 0.125-inch thickness strikes the perfect balance between strength and agility. When you need to spring into action, the double-action mechanism lets you fire and retract the blade with a single hand—no fumbling, no fuss.
Every detail of the UTX-85 is designed for seamless everyday carry. At 4.38 inches closed and weighing in at just 2.8 ounces, it disappears into your pocket until duty calls. The ambidextrous stainless-steel pocket clip swings on either side of the chassis, so lefties and righties alike can carry comfortably and confidently. A low-profile trigger system sits flush against the handle, eliminating snag points and ensuring smooth, reliable performance every time you deploy.
Beyond its striking aesthetics and ergonomic grip, the Microtech UTX-85 delivers the peace of mind that comes from precision American craftsmanship. Each knife is born on the same machines and overseen by the same expert hands that produced the iconic Ultratech. From urban commuters to outdoor enthusiasts, the UTX-85 adapts to your lifestyle, empowering you with effortless control and unwavering reliability. Elevate your everyday carry—experience the UTX-85 difference.
