The Microtech UTX-70 Gen IV 11474-1T is an ultra-compact OTF Double Action automatic knife featuring a double-edged blade made of Böhler M390MK steel. The black blade and 6061-T6 aluminum handle create a unified, technical design, while the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ ensures fast automatic deployment and retraction of the blade.
The UTX-70 is one of Microtech’s smallest OTF designs, while retaining full automatic functionality. With a total length of 152.40 mm and a weight of 39.69 g, the knife takes up very little space in your pocket, and the double-sided titanium clip, glass breaker, and lanyard hole enhance its practicality for everyday carry.
Böhler M390MK – High Performance in a Compact Blade
Böhler M390MK Stainless Steel offers high corrosion resistance, excellent edge retention, and wear resistance. In the compact UTX-70 blade, it delivers a durable cutting edge suitable for regular EDC tasks. The flat grind promotes effective cutting and predictable blade guidance.
Double Edge – symmetrical blade design
Double Edge refers to a double-beveled, symmetrical blade with a central tip. This geometry gives the UTX-70 the classic silhouette of an OTF automatic knife and allows for precise control of the blade tip while maintaining very compact proportions.
Black blade finish
The black finish accentuates the blade’s symmetrical geometry and creates a cohesive whole with the black handle. The uniform color scheme gives the model a minimalist, technical look characteristic of Microtech’s dark variants.
Black 6061-T6 Aluminum
The handle is made of 6061-T6 aluminum in Black. The material provides adequate rigidity while keeping the weight very low, resulting in a total knife weight of just 39.69 g. The slim profile of the handle also makes it easy to carry discreetly in a pocket.
Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ – Full Automation in a Compact Format
Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ controls the automatic movement of the blade. The thumb slide extends the blade when pushed to one side and automatically retracts it when the slide is pulled back. The Double Action mechanism allows you to operate the knife without changing your grip.
Titanium clip and additional functional features
The titanium clip can be mounted on the right or left side of the handle in a tip-down configuration. The knife is also equipped with a glass breaker and a lanyard hole, which increases the number of ways to carry and use the knife.
Why choose the Microtech UTX-70 Gen IV 11474-1T?
This is the perfect choice for those looking for the most compact OTF automatic knife in a sleek, all-black design. Double Edge, M390MK, Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, and a weight under 40 g combine to create a knife that offers full OTF functionality without the bulk of larger models.
