Microtech UTX-85 S/E Bronzed M390 Black Drop Point OTF Automatic 231-13

The Microtech UTX-85 (15% smaller than an Ultratech or 85% the size) is a compact yet capable double action out-the-front automatic. Based on the popular Ultratech, the more compact size makes for an even more ideal daily carry option. This version has a black anodized aluminum handle with bronze hardware/clip and stonewash bronzed M390 drop point blade.

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives.

Blade: Equipped with a two-tone stonewashed/satin finish under handsome bronze PVD, the M390 blade has a plain cutting edge for clean slicing and a utilitarian drop point profile. Double action operation is fast, smooth, and reliable. Move the 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 hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle has chamfered edges creating a comfortable feel and pocket smooth transition. Several areas of machine-grooved jimping around the outside add traction for a secure grip. Construction is completed with bronzed proprietary hardware, glass breaker end and pocket clip with individual serial number/date of production. 

Carries via a 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 level edge retention and corrosion resistance. A popular choice for high-end production and custom knives, M390 is relatively easy to sharpen, with toughness on par with 440C/154CM.
