Finally caved and grabbed one. Think I’m going to need a 70 next (hopefully with a way to remove the glass breaker).

Trying to zoom in to read text on blade. That’s an 80 you have there?
I’d also be super interested to hear about removing the glass breaker on a 70...

Found this

Sounds like it just unscrews but the internal part of the screw is vital to the operation and so an identical screw (thread pitch, and length evidently) needs to be installed. Which remind me, I need to order that thread-checker tool I’ve had in my Amazon cart for awhile...
Yeah, this is the UTX-85. It is what I think of as the perfect size for any time you can get away with wearing jeans. If WFH ever ends, I think the 70 without a glass breaker, and maybe not D/E, would disappear pretty well and be a good all-around knife for most tasks. The quality and the action on this knife are much better than I was expecting.
Just picked up an UTX-85. I find this to be the perfect edc knife. Fits nicely in the hand and has a real smooth action. I have been using the Ultratech for a couple of months but since getting the UTX-85 is has been relegated to the safe. I had an UTX-70 but personally found it to be a little too small, however that strictly is my opinion.

I just ordered this one. Should be here next week. It’s in M390 steel. I don’t know much about that steel but everything I’ve read says it’s a “super steel”. Anyone here have experience with M390?

My UTX-85 which happens to be in my pocket today is m390as well, and it’s still sharp as fuck with very minimal sharpening. Excellent steel for this purpose.

It identifies as double-edged... I like it a lot. I like having the full serrated edge for stuff that needs serrations to cut, but not having to use it all the time.
Double edged... have to pay attention for sure. The steep bevel makes it not a very good slicer, of course.
Given that I've already established in my mind that the UTX-70 is ridiculous (too small, too dramatic, etc.) I've also decided that if (when?) I get one, it's gotta be the Tanto!
