Microtech UTX-85 T/E Stonewashed M390 Plain Tanto Black OTF Automatic Knife 233-10

The double action out the front Microtech Ultratech automatic sets the standard for the category with its slim yet robust built and lightweight carry. The UTX-85 (15% smaller than an Ultratech or 85% the size of one) double action OTF automatic knife makes an even friendlier every day carry option with the same great performance. This version has a black anodized aluminum handle and stonewashed M390, plain edge Tanto blade.

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: Equipped with a rugged, wear hiding stonewashed finish, the Tanto blade has a single razor sharp plain edge. Made from premium, M390 stainless steel the 3-1/8 inch blade features a double action automatic mechanism for fast, smooth and reliable operation. 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 hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle has rounded edges creating a comfortable feel in-hand and smooth pocket transition. Several areas of machine-grooved texturing around the outside edges enhance traction for a secure grip. Construction is completed with Microtech's proprietary hardware, glass breaker end and blasted pocket clip with individual serial number/date of production.

Carries via a tip down, deep carry stainless steel pocket clip.

Bohler M390: A popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its exceptional edge retention, M390 has a good corrosion resistance for minimal maintenance. Another great feature of this steel is the ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
