SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech has defined the standard for out-the-front automatic knives, earning its reputation through relentless refinement and precision engineering. The Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Stonewash PS Blade Merlot Handle continues that legacy with upgraded internals, premium materials, and a distinctive finish that sets it apart from the rest.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall and featuring a 3.55-inch double-edge blade, this Gen IV Ultratech delivers balanced reach and confident control. The dagger-style blade is crafted from M390MK steel, a high-performance alloy known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Both edges feature partial serrations, giving you added versatility for cutting rope, webbing, and tougher materials, while the opposing edge maintains a fine slicing profile. The stonewash finish provides a clean, work-focused look that helps conceal wear over time.
The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a rich merlot anodizing that brings bold character to this proven platform. The deep wine-colored tone contrasts sharply with the stonewashed blade, creating a refined yet hard-use aesthetic. Despite its solid construction, the knife weighs just 3.61 ounces, making it comfortable for daily carry without sacrificing strength. The slim profile fits naturally in hand, and the textured thumb slide ensures positive engagement during deployment. Torx screw construction keeps the chassis secure and allows for straightforward maintenance when necessary. An upgraded glass breaker at the base adds practical emergency capability while maintaining the knife’s streamlined form.
The Gen IV platform introduces 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. Crud Kutter™ technology further supports long-term reliability by helping reduce debris buildup inside the mechanism, promoting dependable operation in demanding environments.
Every detail of the Ultratech Gen IV reflects decades of innovation and attention to precision manufacturing. It’s built for those who demand durability, performance, and bold styling in a compact automatic platform. Whether clipped in your pocket or displayed in a serious collection, this merlot-handled Ultratech delivers performance with unmistakable presence.
