SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto S/E Black Part Serrated Blue is a high-performance automatic knife engineered for collectors, tactical professionals, and enthusiasts who demand precision and durability. Since its debut in 1999, the Ultratech has set the standard for out-the-front knives, combining smooth, reliable deployment with ergonomic handling and superior construction. The GEN IV iteration continues this legacy with refined internal mechanisms, enhanced operational features, and a bold blue anodized handle paired with a black part-serrated blade, making it both visually striking and exceptionally functional.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Ultratech GEN IV delivers full-size cutting power while remaining practical for tactical, outdoor, and everyday carry applications. The blade is crafted from Böhler M390MK steel, renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness under rigorous use. Its black finish provides a tactical, low-glare aesthetic while helping conceal minor scratches and wear. The part-serrated drop-point blade adds versatility, allowing users to tackle both precision slicing and tougher cutting tasks, making it a reliable tool for a wide range of scenarios.
The handle is machined from 6161-T6 aluminum and anodized in vivid blue, offering durability, ergonomic comfort, and a secure grip. Torx screws reinforce the construction, ensuring long-term stability and reliability even under repeated use. An integrated glass breaker enhances emergency functionality, making the knife a versatile tool for professional, tactical, and survival applications. GEN IV refinements, including the Crud Kutter™ debris channel under the thumb slide and the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, optimize blade deployment and retraction, delivering smooth, consistent performance in all conditions.
The double-action OTF mechanism, activated by a thumb slider, allows rapid and controlled deployment and retraction of the blade. Despite its full-size profile, the Ultratech GEN IV is balanced and responsive in hand, with contoured ergonomics that provide comfort and control during extended use. Its combination of premium materials, tactical engineering, and striking blue handle makes it a standout tool for collectors, professionals, and enthusiasts who demand both style and performance.
