Microtech UTX-85 Spartan - Red Handle - Stonewash Standard (230-10 RD)
The Microtech UTX-85 is the ultimate compact everyday carry (EDC) tool, meticulously engineered at 85% the size of the flagship Ultratech platform. This size reduction makes it exceptionally pocket-friendly while maintaining the heavy-duty performance and lightning-fast out-the-front (OTF) action that defines the brand.
This 230-10 RD configuration features a vibrant Red anodized aluminum handle and a specialized Spartan blade. The Spartan profile is a unique double-edge dagger style inspired by the ancient Roman Gladius, offering a reinforced tip for superior piercing capability and dual-cutting edges for versatile utility.
Key Features
Spartan Dagger Profile: A distinctive double-edge blade with a stonewashed finish that provides a rugged, tactical look while effectively hiding wear from daily use.
Red Anodized Chassis: Machined from 6061-T6 premium aircraft aluminum with rounded handle faces and side grooving for improved ergonomics and a secure grip.
Easier Firing Mechanism: Designed with a smoother spring tension than the full-sized Ultratech, making it ideal for those who prefer an easier-to-operate thumb slide.
Premium Steel: Typically crafted from high-performance Bohler M390 or CTS-204P steel, ensuring elite edge retention and corrosion resistance.
Tactical Accoutrements: Outfitted with standard Microtech hardware, a deep-carry stainless steel pocket clip, and a functional ball-tip glass breaker for emergency situations.
