The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV D/E Black Full Serrated Red combines the proven performance of Microtech's flagship out-the-front automatic with bold color contrast and modern engineering. Since its introduction in 1999, the Ultratech has undergone numerous refinements, evolving into a precision-built automatic knife designed for dependable operation and distinctive styling. This Gen IV model features a vibrant red 6061-T6 aluminum handle paired with a black double-edge blade, creating a striking contrast that stands out in any Microtech collection.
The 3.55-inch double-edge blade is crafted from premium M390MK stainless steel, a high-performance material valued for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Both edges are fully serrated, delivering aggressive cutting capability across the blade's entire profile. This configuration is particularly useful for cutting fibrous materials and other demanding utility applications where serrations provide additional bite. The black blade finish complements the vibrant red handle, giving the knife a bold, high-contrast appearance that reinforces its tactical character.
As a double-action out-the-front automatic, the Ultratech deploys and retracts its blade through a conveniently positioned thumb actuator. This mechanism allows for quick operation while keeping the blade housed within the handle when retracted. Microtech's Gen IV platform introduces Crud Kutter technology, designed to help manage debris within the mechanism, along with the Dual-Fuel Drive Train, an advancement in the knife's internal operating system. These updates build on the established Ultratech design while bringing modern refinements to its functionality.
The handle is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a durable yet lightweight foundation for the knife's precision components. Its red finish adds a distinctive visual statement while maintaining the streamlined profile that defines the Ultratech series. Torx screws secure the construction and support routine maintenance, while an upgraded glass breaker adds a practical emergency-oriented feature to the handle's rear.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Ultratech Gen IV offers substantial cutting capability in a carefully engineered OTF package. Its combination of premium blade steel, fully serrated edges, and refined deployment technology makes it an appealing option for Microtech enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate precision-built automatic knives.
The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV D/E Black Full Serrated Red carries forward the legacy of an iconic platform with modern upgrades, aggressive blade geometry, and unmistakable red-and-black styling.
