Microtech
The UTX-85 model by Microtech has undergone updates and improvements. It now boasts enhanced ergonomics, with rounded handle faces and grooves along the sides for a secure grip. The firing button has been redesigned to ensure better engagement, and the glass breaker now has a ball-tip set in a trip-angle pattern base for improved everyday carry convenience. This particular model features a black finished dagger blade made from M390 steel. The handle is made of black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and comes with bead blast finished hardware, a pocket clip, and a glass breaker tip. The UTX-85 is a scaled-down version of the Ultratech platform, measuring 85% of its original length. It is an excellent choice for those who prefer a smaller everyday carry knife and appreciate Microtech's top-notch out-the-front action and exceptional build quality.
