Microtech UTX-70 D/E Satin M390 Double Edge OTF Black Automatic Knife 147-4

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 black contoured handles and a plain satin finished, double edge M390 blade.

Brand new directly from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: Equipped with a bright machine satin finish, the double edge blade has two razor sharp plain cutting edges. The dagger-like blade is made from high performance Bohler M390 stainless steel. The sub-2.5 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 coated 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. 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. 

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