Microtech UTX-70 Blue Stonewashed M390 Serrated Double Edge OTF Automatic Knife 147-11BL

The UTX-70 (15% smaller than the UTX-85) is a dual action mini 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 version has Blue contoured handles and a partially serrated Stonewashed finished, Double Edge M390 blade.

Brand new directly from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: Equipped with a rugged, wear-hiding Stonewashed finish, the double edge blade has two razor sharp partially serrated cutting edges. Serrations make quick work of tough, fibrous materials saving the plain edge for clean, slicing cuts. The dagger-like blade is made from high performance, Bohler M390 stainless steel. The sub-2.5 inch (-6.35 cm) 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, Blue hard anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles have improved rounded edges creating not only a comfortable feel in-hand but a smooth transition in and out of your pocket. As the UTX-70 is much smaller and thinner they have left off the jimping for a cleaner look. This is a gentleman’s OTF automatic. The contoured handle design is easy on the hands and eyes. The handle’s construction is completed with Microtech’s proprietary hardware, glass breaker end and blasted pocket clip with individual serial number/date of production.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its extreme edge retention. M390 also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid problems by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is its ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
