Microtech – 147-10BL – UTX-70 Automatic Standard D/E OTF Knife – Blue

Description

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 plain Stonewashed finished, Double Edge CTS-204p 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 plain cutting edges. The dagger-like blade is made from high performance, American CTS-204P 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.

CTS-204P: A highly wear-resistant, powder metallurgy stainless tool steel, the steel contains a large volume of extremely hard vanadium carbides which provide excellent wear resistance. CTS-204P has some of the highest chromium content of a high-vanadium stainless steel currently available. The chromium-rich matrix provides outstanding corrosion resistance. Analogs to CTS-204P include CPM-20CV and Bohler M390.
