Microtech UTX-70 Bronze Apocalyptic 204P Tanto Copper Top OTF Automatic Knife 149-13APCPS

The UTX-70 (15% smaller than the UTX-85) is a mini double action out-the-front automatic knife from Microtech that’s one of the most friendly for everyday carry. The diminutive size is perfect for watch pocket or even key ring carry. This Signature Series version has a black anodized aluminum frame with raw copper top, bronze Apocalyptic CTS-204P Tanto blade and matching hardware.

Brand new directly from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: Equipped with a handsome bronze anodized Apocalyptic finish, the Tanto blade has a razor sharp plain cutting edge. The blade is made from high performance CTS-204P stainless steel for optimal performance with a sub-2.5 inch length for ease of carry. Blasted and tumbled, the Apocalyptic finish hides wear and is discreetly non-reflective, while the satin flats and bronze anodization provide a subtle style. Double action automatic operation is fast, smooth and reliable. Move the thumb slide up to deploy and down to retract. An internal spring remains at rest in both the open and closed position to reduce wear.

Handle: The smooth, black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum frame and hefty raw copper top have chamfered edges creating a comfortable feel in-hand and smooth pocket transition. Raw copper gives a tactile feel and will develop a unique natural patina over time. A gentleman’s OTF automatic, the UTX-70 is smaller, thinner, and has no jimping for a clean, stylish look. Construction is completed with Microtech’s proprietary Apocalyptic Bronze hardware, glass breaker end and pocket clip with individual serial number/date of production.

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

CTS-204P: Carpenter CTS-204P (analog to Bohler M390 and CPM-20CV) is a premium powder metallurgy (PM) stainless steel with high carbide content for some of the highest edge retention and corrosion resistance while being relatively easy to sharpen. A popular choice for high-end production and custom knives. Relatively high carbide volume and coarse microstructure gives this steel lower toughness.
