The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV OTF Auto D/E Full Serrate Flag Deep Engraved Tactical combines Microtech's legendary out-the-front engineering with bold American-inspired styling and modern performance upgrades. As the latest evolution of the company's flagship Ultratech, this Gen IV model builds on a design that's been refined since 1999, delivering dependable functionality, premium materials, and distinctive details in one precision-built automatic knife. Its black chassis features a deeply engraved American flag, giving the knife a striking appearance that celebrates American pride while maintaining a clean, tactical profile.
The 3.55-inch double-edge blade is crafted from premium M390MK stainless steel, valued for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Its distinctive combination edge features serrations on one side and a plain edge on the other, offering versatility for different cutting applications. The serrated section provides added bite when cutting through fibrous materials, while the plain-edge section supports smoother, controlled slicing. This dual-edge configuration gives the Ultratech a functional advantage for users who appreciate multiple cutting options in a single blade. The blade's finish complements the knife's tactical appearance, creating a cohesive look alongside the black handle.
As a double-action out-the-front automatic, the Ultratech deploys and retracts its blade through a conveniently positioned thumb actuator. This mechanism allows for quick, controlled operation while keeping the blade housed within the handle when retracted. Microtech has further refined the Gen IV platform with its Crud Kutter technology, designed to help manage debris within the mechanism, and Dual-Fuel Drive Train technology, which represents an important advancement in the knife's internal operating system.
The handle is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, providing a strong yet lightweight foundation for the knife's precision components. Its black finish and deep-engraved American flag create a distinctive combination of understated tactical styling and patriotic detail. Torx screws secure the construction and support straightforward maintenance, while the upgraded glass breaker adds a practical emergency-oriented feature to the handle's rear.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Ultratech Gen IV offers substantial cutting capability in a streamlined OTF design. Its carefully engineered construction reflects Microtech's continued commitment to innovation, precision manufacturing, and dependable performance.
The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV OTF Auto D/E Full Serrate Flag Deep Engraved Tactical is an excellent choice for automatic knife enthusiasts and collectors seeking premium blade steel, advanced deployment technology, and distinctive American flag detailing.
