Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Black Part Serrate Blade Merlot Handle AUMT112242MR

Since 1999, the Microtech Ultratech has led the charge in out-the-front automatic knife design, continuously refined to meet the demands of serious users. The Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Black Part Serrate Blade Merlot Handle carries that tradition forward with updated internals, premium materials, and a bold color profile that stands apart from the ordinary.

At 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch double-edge blade, the Gen IV Ultratech delivers a balanced, compact platform that’s easy to carry and decisive in hand. The dagger-style blade is crafted from M390MK steel, a high-performance alloy known for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability under sustained use. Both edges are partially serrated, combining aggressive bite for fibrous materials with plain sections for clean slicing and controlled cuts. The black blade finish enhances the knife’s discreet appearance while helping reduce glare and visible wear over time.

The handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a deep merlot anodizing that adds a refined yet commanding presence. Lightweight yet strong, the aluminum chassis keeps the knife at just 3.61 ounces, making it comfortable for daily carry without sacrificing structural integrity. The slim, ergonomic frame sits naturally in hand, while the textured thumb slide provides positive traction during deployment and retraction. Torx screw construction ensures a secure assembly and allows for proper servicing when needed. An upgraded glass breaker at the base offers added emergency utility without interrupting the knife’s streamlined profile.

Inside, the Gen IV platform is driven by Microtech’s Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, engineered to deliver smoother, more consistent OTF action with every cycle. Deployment is crisp and authoritative, reinforcing the precision you expect from Microtech. Complementing that system is Crud Kutter™ technology, designed to help minimize internal debris buildup and support reliable long-term performance.

Every detail of the Ultratech Gen IV reflects decades of innovation and precision manufacturing. It’s built for those who demand dependable automatic action, high-performance materials, and distinctive style in a compact OTF design. Whether it’s carried daily or added to a serious collection, this merlot-handled Ultratech delivers performance with unmistakable character.
