High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech has earned its place as one of the most trusted out-the-front automatic knives on the market since its debut in 1999. Over the years, it has been refined through multiple generations, and the Gen IV brings forward the most reliable and advanced design yet. Built with precision and engineered for demanding use, this knife blends rugged durability with a streamlined, professional design that makes it ideal for professionals, collectors, and everyday carriers.
At the heart of this Ultratech is a double-edge dagger blade crafted from premium M390MK steel. Known for its excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, M390MK is a steel built to handle real work. The blade measures 3.55 inches and features a stonewash finish, offering a clean, practical look while naturally concealing scratches from heavy use. Whether deployed for utility tasks or as a dependable backup, the dagger profile ensures piercing performance paired with a balanced feel.
The chassis is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, a material prized for its strength-to-weight ratio, and anodized in a bold standard blue. Its contoured design fits comfortably in hand, and at just 3.61 ounces, it carries lightly without compromising toughness. Secured with Torx hardware and fitted with an upgraded glass breaker at the base, the handle is as functional as it is striking. The tip-down pocket clip keeps the knife accessible and ready when needed.
Functionality is driven by Microtech’s Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, a next-generation improvement that ensures smooth and consistent deployment and retraction of the blade. Combined with the Crud Kutter™ system, the Gen IV Ultratech is designed to resist jams from lint and debris, delivering dependable action in the field or in daily use. The dual-action thumb slide not only controls deployment and retraction but also serves as the locking mechanism, securing the blade firmly in both positions.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech Ultratech Gen IV embodies a commitment to American craftsmanship, precision engineering, and no-compromise performance. From its stonewashed M390MK dagger blade to its anodized blue aluminum handle, this knife is built to withstand the test of time and deliver reliability whenever called upon. Carry confidence every day with the Microtech Ultratech Gen IV OTF Auto. This blue-handled powerhouse is available now at SMKW.
