Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto S/E Apocalyptic Standard Blue

The Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto S/E Apocalyptic Standard Blue is the latest evolution of Microtech’s flagship out-the-front knife, combining decades of engineering expertise with high-performance materials and refined mechanics. Since its introduction in 1999, the Ultratech has been recognized as the benchmark for precision, reliability, and tactical functionality, and the GEN IV continues this tradition with upgrades designed to improve deployment, durability, and handling.

Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Ultratech GEN IV strikes a balance between full-size capability and carry practicality. The blade is crafted from Böhler M390MK steel, known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness under heavy use. Its apocalyptic finish gives it a rugged, tactical aesthetic while helping conceal minor wear and scratches, ensuring the knife maintains its distinctive look over time. The drop-point design of the blade makes it versatile for slicing, piercing, and general utility, making it ideal for everyday carry, tactical applications, or collection purposes.

The handle is made from 6161-T6 aluminum and anodized in a striking blue, providing both strength and an ergonomic grip for controlled handling. Torx screws secure the construction, guaranteeing long-term durability and reliability. The Ultratech GEN IV also features an upgraded glass breaker integrated into the handle, offering practical functionality for emergency scenarios. Internal refinements, including the Crud Kutter™ debris channel and the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, optimize blade deployment and retraction, ensuring consistent action even in challenging conditions.

The double-action out-the-front mechanism, operated by a thumb slider, delivers smooth, rapid blade deployment and retraction. The knife’s balance, combined with the thoughtful ergonomics of the handle and blade, makes it comfortable to use for extended periods while maintaining full control. Despite its full-size profile, the Ultratech GEN IV remains a practical choice for those who demand performance, reliability, and style in a high-end automatic knife.

With its combination of premium materials, precise engineering, and bold blue handle, the Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto S/E Apocalyptic Standard Blue is a knife that performs under pressure while standing out in any collection.
