SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech has been the benchmark for out-the-front automatic knives since its introduction in 1999, and the Gen IV continues that legacy with purpose-driven upgrades and uncompromising craftsmanship. Built for those who demand performance in every deployment, this OTF auto blends cutting-edge engineering with a rugged, battle-tested design. The Ultratech Gen IV isn’t just a tool—it’s a trusted companion forged to meet the needs of professionals, collectors, and everyday carriers alike.
This model features a double-edge dagger blade crafted from premium M390MK steel, chosen for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability under hard use. The blade wears Microtech’s Apocalyptic finish, a distressed stonewashed treatment that not only delivers a unique, worn-in aesthetic but also helps conceal scratches from repeated use. Measuring 3.55 inches, the blade is precision balanced within a chassis that extends to an overall length of 8.54 inches, creating a knife that feels both substantial and agile in hand.
The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized in a striking blue. Its contoured edges and secure grip make it comfortable to carry and deploy, while Torx screw construction ensures strength and serviceability. At just 3.61 ounces, the Ultratech Gen IV maintains a lightweight profile without sacrificing durability. The integrated glass breaker on the handle’s end stands ready for emergency use, rounding out this knife’s utility both on and off duty.
Operation is powered by Microtech’s Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, offering a smoother, more reliable action than ever before. Paired with the Crud Kutter™ system, which helps keep lint and debris from fouling the internals, this OTF auto is engineered for long-term reliability in real-world conditions. Deployment and retraction are driven by the thumb slide located on the handle spine. This automatic, dual-action mechanism locks the blade securely in place whether open or closed, ensuring safety and confidence in every use. Carried with a tip-down pocket clip, the Ultratech Gen IV is quick to draw and ready when it’s needed most.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech Ultratech Gen IV embodies the brand’s commitment to precision manufacturing, innovative design, and uncompromising quality. From the M390MK dagger blade to the anodized blue aluminum handle, every detail speaks to a knife built to last a lifetime.
