Microtech – 233-5TQ – UTX-85 – OTF Auto – M390 Satin Tanto P/S – Aluminum – Turquoise

The Microtech UTX-85 OTF Automatic Knife – Model 233-5TQ delivers premium out-the-front performance in a compact, highly refined package. Designed as a slightly smaller counterpart to the well-known Ultratech platform, the UTX-85 measures approximately 85% of its larger sibling while maintaining the same elite build quality, materials, and manufacturing standards. This model features a striking turquoise anodized aluminum chassis paired with a tactical tanto blade, creating a balance of visual appeal and serious cutting capability. Built with everyday practicality in mind, the UTX-85 is engineered for smooth one-handed operation through its double-action out-the-front mechanism. With a simple push of the thumb slide, the blade automatically deploys and retracts, allowing for quick response and efficient use in demanding cutting situations. The compact frame fits comfortably in the hand while remaining easy to carry throughout the day, making it an ideal option for professionals, collectors, and everyday carry enthusiasts alike. The tanto blade design provides exceptional piercing strength and reinforced tip durability. Its angular geometry excels at penetrating tough materials while still offering a long straight edge for slicing and general cutting tasks. Microtech manufactures this model using premium blade steels that may vary depending on availability, ensuring the knife always meets the company’s high standards for edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall performance. The turquoise Mil-Spec hard coat anodized aluminum handle is lightweight yet incredibly durable. Precision machining provides both strength and ergonomic comfort, while the stainless steel hardware and pocket clip add durability and dependable carry options. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip allows for convenient tip-down carry and accommodates both right- and left-handed users. Every Microtech UTX-85 is proudly manufactured in the United States using state-of-the-art machining and strict quality control. The result is a compact automatic knife that blends performance, reliability, and distinctive styling in a size that’s easy to carry anywhere.
