Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Black Part Serrate Blade Red Handle AUMT112242RD

The Microtech Ultratech has stood at the forefront of out-the-front automatic knife design, earning its reputation through constant innovation and uncompromising performance. The Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Black Part Serrate Blade Red Handle represents the latest evolution of that flagship platform, combining premium materials, upgraded internals, and bold visual impact in a compact automatic.

With an overall length of 8.54 inches and a 3.55-inch double-edge blade, the Gen IV Ultratech delivers balanced proportions and decisive cutting capability. The dagger-style blade is crafted from M390MK steel, a high-performance alloy known for outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Both edges are partially serrated, giving you aggressive bite for rope, webbing, and tough materials while retaining plain sections for clean, controlled slicing. The black blade finish enhances the knife’s low-profile appeal and helps reduce glare and visible wear during hard use.

The handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a striking red anodizing that adds commanding presence without sacrificing function. Strong yet lightweight, the aluminum chassis keeps the knife at just 3.61 ounces, making it comfortable for everyday carry. Its slim, ergonomic frame fits naturally in hand, and the textured thumb slide provides positive traction for smooth deployment and retraction. Torx screw construction ensures a secure build and allows for proper maintenance when needed. An upgraded glass breaker at the base adds practical emergency capability while maintaining the knife’s streamlined silhouette.

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

Every detail of the Ultratech Gen IV reflects decades of refinement and a commitment to high-performance automatic design. It’s built for those who demand cutting versatility, dependable action, and standout styling in a compact OTF platform. Whether it’s part of your daily rotation or a prized addition to a collection, this red-handled Ultratech delivers both power and presence.
