SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech has stood as a benchmark in OTF automatic knives since its debut in 1999, and the Gen IV takes that legacy further with cutting-edge upgrades and refinements. Built for professionals, collectors, and serious users alike, this latest generation showcases the balance of durability, performance, and sleek design that made the Ultratech a household name in the world of automatic knives. The Gen IV isn’t just another upgrade—it’s a reengineered tool designed to meet the demands of today’s most demanding users.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch dagger blade, this Ultratech offers reach and precision in a slim, easily carried package. The blade itself is crafted from premium M390 steel, chosen for its edge retention, toughness, and resistance to wear. Finished in black, the dagger-style double edge not only provides a clean, aggressive look but also delivers reliable piercing and cutting performance from either side. Whether deployed for utility tasks or kept as a professional defensive tool, this blade doesn’t compromise.
The handle is milled from lightweight yet strong 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized in OD Green for a rugged, mission-ready appearance. The OD Green finish pairs perfectly with the black blade, giving the knife a tactical two-tone contrast that’s as functional as it is eye-catching. Torx hardware secures the build, ensuring serviceability and strength for years of use. On the business end, Microtech’s updated glass breaker now integrates seamlessly, ready for emergencies without adding unnecessary bulk.
Where the Gen IV truly sets itself apart is in its internal refinements. The Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ delivers smoother, faster, and more consistent blade action than ever before. Combined with Microtech’s Crud Kutter™ system, which clears debris during operation, the Ultratech Gen IV is designed to thrive even in harsh, dirty conditions. This means less downtime, less maintenance, and more confidence when you need the knife to perform.
Rounding out the package is a titanium tip-down pocket clip featuring a carbide ball for smooth pocket transitions and secure retention. At just 3.6 ounces, the Ultratech Gen IV carries light but performs heavy, making it one of the most versatile OTF autos available. Proudly made in the USA, this knife is the result of over two decades of refinement and innovation. Built for reliability and speed, the Microtech Ultratech Gen IV in OD Green features a double-edge black blade and rock-solid construction. Available at SMKW the World's Largest Knife Store!
