Microtech UTX-85 Tanto Satin Fully Serrated M390 OTF Automatic Knife 233-6

The Microtech UTX-85 double action out-the-front automatic is a slim everyday carry option that offers the same durable construction and solid performance in a more compact package (15% smaller than an Ultratech or 85% the size). This version has a black contoured handle and fully serrated, satin M390 Tanto blade.

Brand new directly from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The Tanto blade has a razor sharp fully serrated cutting edge to easily handle tough materials. Bright machine satin on the grinds and swedge offer a subtle contrast to the fine satin flats and spine and blasted fullers. Double action automatic operation is fast and smooth. Move the thumb slide up to deploy and down to retract. An internal spring remains at rest in both positions to reduce wear.

Handle: Smooth, black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum has contoured edges for comfort and smooth pocket transition. Strategic jimping around the outside edge enhances traction for a secure grip. Proprietary hardware, glass breaker end and serialized pocket clip complete the construction.

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

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 (analog to CPM-20CV and CTS-204P) 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.
