Since 1999, the Microtech Ultratech has set the benchmark for out-the-front automatic knives, evolving through continuous refinement and precision engineering. The Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Black Standard Blade Black Tactical Handle represents the latest chapter in that legacy, delivering proven performance in an all-black configuration built for serious users.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall and equipped with a 3.55-inch double-edge blade, the Gen IV Ultratech offers balanced proportions and decisive capability. The dagger-style blade is crafted from premium M390MK steel, known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Both edges are plain, providing clean slicing performance from either side with controlled precision. The black standard blade finish enhances the knife’s low-profile appearance while helping minimize glare and visible wear.
The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a black tactical anodizing that complements the blade for a unified, purpose-driven look. Strong yet lightweight, the aluminum chassis keeps the knife at just 3.61 ounces, making it comfortable for daily carry without compromising strength. Its slim, ergonomic profile sits naturally in hand, while the textured thumb slide ensures positive engagement during deployment and retraction. Torx screw construction secures the build and allows for proper maintenance when required. An upgraded glass breaker at the base adds practical emergency capability while maintaining the knife’s streamlined silhouette.
At the heart of the Gen IV platform is Microtech’s Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, engineered to enhance deployment and retraction with smoother, more consistent action. Each press of the thumb slide delivers crisp, authoritative performance you can feel. Crud Kutter™ technology further supports long-term reliability by helping reduce internal debris buildup, promoting dependable operation in demanding environments.
Every detail of the Ultratech Gen IV reflects decades of innovation and a commitment to high-performance automatic design. It’s built for those who expect durability, precision, and confidence in a compact OTF platform. Whether carried daily or added to a serious collection, this blacked-out Ultratech stands as a testament to Microtech’s flagship engineering.
