Microtech UTX-85 Tanto Black DLC Tactical CTS-204P Plain Edge DLC Hardware OTF Automatic Knife 233-1DLCT

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 and a plain edge, black DLC coated, CTS-204P Tanto blade with matching black DLC hardware.

Brand new directly from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The Tanto blade has a single, razor sharp plain edge with a durable Diamond-Like Carbon or DLC finish that is discreetly non-reflective and corrosion resistant. Made from high performance, American CTS-204P stainless steel the blade offers the best in edge retention and corrosion resistance and the tumbled DLC hides wear from heavy use. The 3.125 inch blade features a double action opening and retracting mechanism. 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. The action is smooth and fast. 

Handle: Smooth, Black 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 easy on the hands and eyes. The handle’s construction is completed with Microtech’s proprietary black DLC tactical hardware, glass breaker end and pocket clip with individual serial number/date of production all in a matching black DLC finish.

CTS-204P: A highly wear-resistant, powder metallurgy stainless tool steel, the steel contains a large volume of extremely hard vanadium carbides which provide excellent wear resistance. CTS-204P has some of the highest chromium content of a high-vanadium stainless steel currently available. The chromium-rich matrix provides outstanding corrosion resistance. Analogs to CTS-204P include CPM-20CV and Bohler M390.
