I've got a UTX-85 T in my pocket and it's become
a regular edc, probably 5 days a week.
If I know I'll have to cut through 30' of cardboard,
I'll carry a different knife that day, but if the 85 is
sharp, it'll get you through it, you'll just work a bit more.
I like the tanto, you have 2 edges...but you have 2 edges
to sharpen.
When I run into an Ultratech at a good deal, I'll buy it.

Did you reprofile or, did it come out of the box at 20 per side ?
It felt like it was a little steeper, but not as wedge-like as the double-edge Microtechs. It took a long time to sharpen, in part due to the angle but also due to the M390 being difficult.

I’m a big Microtech OTF (and Star Wars) fan.
I sold this Combat Troodon and gifted the UT Bounty Hunter and UTX-85 away to friends, but I thought it would be a helpful pic for size comparison.
Here the the two I currently have. A 24k gold plated Combat Troodon BH and standard Ultratech BH. I tend to carry the CT strong side when I only take one knife, and the Ultratech support side when I carry a traditional folder (usually Strider SnG), but I always have one or the other.
Guardian Tactical. A similar option to Microtech UT/CT: build quality, price point, and materials. The items that cause me to prefer and carry the GT:
* Buttery smooth OTF action
* Ergos on the handle
* Sharpness and angle of factory edge
Anyone familiar with this vendor? They seem to have a lot of Microtechs in stock when nobody else does, and at good prices.
This is pretty much exact.y what I want. I’d prefer half serrated but I can live without it.

Great company. I've bought Hinderer, Microtech and CRK from them. Their showroom is in WI, I've stopped in a couple times while passing through. Last time I was there my 4 year old son ended up having a snack at the managers desk while talking about her dog that was there that day. Seemed like good people.
Thanks!
Went ahead and bit down on it based on that.
Now I just need to learn how to replace the pointy nubbie with a more low-profile one.
