Microtech UTX-70 Blue Double Edge Automatic Knife 147-10BL
Detailed product description
The Microtech UTX-70 Blue Double Edge 147-10 BL automatic knife is an ultra-compact OTF model that delivers maximum performance in a minimal package. It combines precise workmanship, an aggressive dagger blade, and the iconic Microtech design in a pocket-sized format ideal for everyday carry.
The UTX-70 model is a scaled-down version of the legendary Ultratech – approximately 70% of its size. It retains the typical features of a full-fledged OTF knife, but takes compactness and discretion to a completely different level.
The dominant feature is the double-edged blade (Double Edge / Dagger), optimized for penetration and symmetrical cutting. This shape emphasizes the knife’s tactical character, although it is less versatile for everyday cutting than single-edge variants.
As soon as you take the knife in hand, its minimal dimensions immediately stand out. The UTX-70 is ideal as a backup knife or ultra-light EDC – you will hardly notice it in your pocket, but when needed, it is instantly ready for use.
The blue handle finish (Blue) gives the knife a bold and modern appearance. The anodized color contrasts with the technical character of the construction and highlights its premium workmanship.
The blade is made from premium M390 or CTS-204P steel (depending on the production batch), offering high edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and stable performance in everyday use.
The OTF mechanism is fast, sharp, and due to the compact dimensions, also somewhat stiffer. Even so, it retains the typical Microtech reliability when the knife is properly maintained.
The UTX-70 is a knife built around maximum compactness – ideal as a discreet, lightweight, and fast automatic tool.
