Microtech UTX-85 Distressed Red OTF Automatic Knife 233-10DRD
Microtech
Introducing the UTX-85, a sleek and compact knife with a stonewashed, double-edged dagger blade. Its handle is made of distressed red anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and comes with bead blast finished hardware, a pocket clip, and a glass breaker tip. Microtech has made some notable improvements to the UTX-85 model. The handle now features rounded faces and grooves along the sides for a comfortable and 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 everyday carry convenience. Based on the popular Ultratech platform, the UTX-85 is scaled down to 85% of its original size. This makes it an excellent choice for those who prefer a smaller everyday carry knife without compromising on Microtech's renowned high-performance out-the-front action and exceptional build quality.
