SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto S/E Black Part Serrated Tan is a high-performance automatic knife designed for tactical professionals, collectors, and enthusiasts who demand precision, reliability, and style. Since its introduction in 1999, the Ultratech has set the benchmark for out-the-front knives, combining smooth, dependable deployment with ergonomic handling and premium construction. The GEN IV iteration advances this legacy with refined internal mechanisms, enhanced operational features, and a striking tan anodized handle paired with a black part-serrated blade, offering both functional superiority and visual appeal.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Ultratech GEN IV delivers full-size cutting capability while remaining practical for tactical, outdoor, and everyday carry applications. The blade is forged from Böhler M390MK steel, celebrated for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness under heavy use.

The part-serrated drop-point blade adds versatility, enabling precise slicing as well as tackling tougher cutting tasks, making it a dependable tool in any scenario.
The handle is machined from 6161-T6 aluminum and anodized in tan, providing strength, ergonomic comfort, and a secure grip. Torx screws reinforce the construction, ensuring long-term stability even with repeated use. An integrated glass breaker enhances emergency functionality, making the knife a versatile tool for professional, tactical, or 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 and reliable action 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 remains balanced and responsive in hand, with contoured ergonomics that provide comfort and precision during extended use. Its combination of premium materials, tactical engineering, and bold tan handle makes it a standout choice for collectors, professionals, and enthusiasts who demand both performance and style.
