SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech has set the benchmark for out-the-front automatic knives, earning its reputation through continuous refinement and uncompromising performance. The Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto D/E Stonewash PS Blade Tan Aluminum Handle carries that legacy forward with upgraded internals, premium materials, and a distinctive field-inspired finish.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall and equipped with a 3.55-inch double-edge blade, this Gen IV Ultratech delivers balanced reach and precise 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, adding cutting versatility for rope, webbing, and tougher materials, while the opposing edge maintains a fine slicing profile. The stonewash finish provides a clean, work-focused appearance that helps conceal wear from regular use.
The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in tan, giving the knife a mission-driven aesthetic that pairs seamlessly with the stonewashed blade. Strong yet lightweight, the aluminum chassis keeps total weight at just 3.61 ounces, making it comfortable for daily carry without sacrificing structural integrity. The slim, ergonomic design fits naturally in hand, and the textured thumb slide ensures positive engagement during deployment. Torx screw construction secures the chassis and allows for straightforward maintenance when needed. An upgraded glass breaker at the base enhances emergency capability while maintaining the knife’s streamlined profile.
The Gen IV platform introduces Microtech’s Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, engineered to improve deployment and retraction with smoother, more consistent action. Each press of the thumb slide delivers crisp, authoritative engagement. Crud Kutter™ technology further supports long-term reliability by helping reduce debris buildup inside the mechanism, promoting dependable performance in demanding environments.
Every element of the Ultratech Gen IV reflects decades of innovation and precision engineering. It’s built for those who expect durability, performance, and modern automatic action in a compact platform. Whether clipped in your pocket or showcased in a collection, this tan-handled Ultratech delivers proven capability with unmistakable presence.
