Microtech UTX-70 Tactical Black M390 Tanto Black OTF Automatic Knife 149-1T

The UTX-70 (30% smaller than the standard Ultratech) 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 Tactical version has black anodized aluminum handles, matching hardware and a two-tone black M390 Tanto blade.

Brand new directly from Microtech Knives.

Blade: Equipped with a durable poly-ceramic Cerakote coating, the single edge blade has a razor sharp plain cutting edge. Black Cerakote on the grinds and fullers resists wear and corrosion and is discreetly non-reflective, while the satin flats and spine offer a classy contrast. Double action automatic operation is fast, smooth, and reliable. 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 for a comfortable feel in-hand and smooth pocket transition. As the UTX-70 is smaller and thinner than the Ultratech and UTX-85, jimping has been left off for a cleaner look. This is a perfect choice for a gentleman’s OTF automatic. Microtech’s proprietary tactical black hardware, glass breaker end and pocket clip complete the construction.

Carries via a right-hand, stainless steel pocket 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.
