Jedi Master is a Microtech Star Wars Signature Series designation specifying a particular colorway and specification combination: Jedi Master Green coating with satin flats on the blade, champagne bronze hardware throughout, and a black chassis. The Signature Series designation means this is an officially licensed Star Wars collectible — not simply a color variant. The Jedi Master colorway appears across multiple Microtech OTF platforms and the UTX-85 Gen IV is the current generation to carry it.

Bohler M390MK is M390 alloy processed to Microtech's proprietary heat treatment specification, heat-treated to 60-62 HRC. M390 is Bohler's high-vanadium, high-chromium powder-metallurgy stainless — the benchmark production steel for edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The MK designation indicates Microtech controls the hardening and tempering cycle to their own standard. The result is M390 alloy at Microtech's quality specification on a 3.11-inch flat ground double edge dagger at 0.125 inches thick.

The Jedi Master Green coating with satin flats is a two-stage blade finish. The blade flats receive a flat ground satin treatment that exposes and polishes the underlying M390MK steel surface — you see the steel itself on the flats. The beveled areas of the blade receive the Jedi Master Green coating, producing the characteristic green tone of the series. The combination of satin steel flats and green-coated bevels creates depth and contrast across the blade that a single-finish treatment cannot achieve, and gives the blade its distinctive appearance in different lighting conditions.

The Dual-Fuel Drivetrain is Microtech's internal OTF mechanism designation for the Gen IV platform. It describes the spring system that powers both the forward blade deployment and the rearward blade retraction using the same thumb slide switch — push forward to fire the blade out through the front of the handle, pull back to retract it. No manual blade reset is required at any point in the cycle. The dual-spring design provides consistent deployment force in both directions through the life of the knife.

The UTX-85 Gen IV Jedi Master uses a milled titanium pocket clip — machined from titanium rather than stamped from steel — which reduces weight while maintaining clip tension and durability. The ceramic ball is integrated into the clip to reduce friction as the knife enters and exits the pocket, producing a smoother draw and reduced wear on both the clip and the fabric. The clip is reversible for ambidextrous left or right-hand tip-up carry configuration without tools.

The Microtech UTX-85 is a double-action OTF automatic knife with a 3.11-inch blade. OTF automatic knives are regulated differently than push-button side automatics in some jurisdictions. Laws vary significantly by state and locality — some states permit OTFs freely, others restrict by blade length or action type, and some prohibit them entirely. Knifeworks recommends verifying your local and state laws before purchasing or carrying. A compliance form is required at checkout.

The UTX-85 Gen IV Jedi Master measures 7.51 inches overall when deployed with a 3.11-inch blade at 0.125 inches thick. Closed length is 4.38 inches and handle thickness is 0.47 inches. It weighs 3.1 oz. The milled titanium ambidextrous deep carry clip is reversible for right or left-hand tip-up carry.
