Microtech UTX-85 S/E Tactical Black M390 Drop Point OTF Automatic Knife 231-1T

The UTX-85 (15% smaller than an Ultratech or 85% the size of one) dual action out the front automatic knife from Microtech makes an even friendlier every day carry option. This Tactical version has a black contoured handle with “Tactical” black hardware and a two-tone black coated Bohler M390 drop point blade.

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: Equipped with a two-tone finish, the drop point has a plain “standard” cutting edge. The drop point is highly utilitarian and made from high performance Bohler M390 blade steel. The blade has satin flats and spine contrasting nicely with the black Cerakote coating on the grinds, swedge and fullers. Cerakote is a durable, non-reflective, poly-ceramic coating that enhances wear and corrosion resistance. The +3 inch blade features a double action operation for fast, smooth action in use. Simply move the thumb slide on the side of the handle up to deploy and down to retract. An internal spring remains at rest in both the open and closed position to reduce wear.

Handle: Smooth, Black hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum has improved, rounded edges creating not only a comfortable feel in-hand but a smooth transition in and out of your pocket. There are several areas of machine-grooved texturing around the outsides aiding in grip. This lighter more ergonomic grip is comfortable and visually appealing. The handle construction is completed with Microtech’s Black proprietary hardware, glass breaker end and pocket clip with individual serial number, date of production and logo.

Carries via a right hand, tip-down, stainless steel deep carry clip.

Bohler M390: A popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its exceptional edge retention, M390 has a good corrosion resistance for minimal maintenance. Another great feature of this steel is the ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
