SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech has defined the standard for out-the-front automatic knives, evolving through years of innovation and precision engineering. The Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Stonewash PS Blade Red Aluminum Handle continues that legacy with upgraded internals, premium materials, and a bold finish that refuses to go unnoticed.
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 blade edges feature partial serrations, adding cutting versatility for rope, webbing, and tougher materials, while the opposite edge maintains a fine slicing profile. The stonewash finish gives the blade a clean, work-focused look that helps conceal wear from daily use.
The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a vivid red anodizing that makes a strong visual statement. Durable yet lightweight, the aluminum chassis keeps total weight at just 3.61 ounces, making it comfortable to carry without sacrificing strength. The slim, ergonomic design fits naturally in hand, and the textured thumb slide provides positive engagement during deployment. Torx screw construction ensures a secure, dependable build and allows for straightforward maintenance when needed. An upgraded glass breaker at the base adds practical emergency capability while maintaining the knife’s streamlined profile.
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 improves reliability by helping reduce debris buildup inside the mechanism, supporting dependable operation over time.
Every detail reflects decades of refinement and a commitment to precision manufacturing. The Ultratech Gen IV D/E PS isn’t just an automatic knife; it’s a purpose-built tool designed for those who demand durability, performance, and standout style in a compact platform. Whether carried daily or displayed in a serious collection, this red-handled Ultratech brings bold character to proven OTF performance.
