SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto S/E SW Part Serrate Black is a top-tier out-the-front automatic knife, engineered for precision, reliability, and tactical performance. Since its debut in 1999, the Ultratech has set the standard for OTF knives, combining smooth, rapid deployment with ergonomic handling and high-end construction. The GEN IV iteration builds on this legacy, introducing refined internal mechanisms, upgraded performance features, and a sleek, tactical black finish that makes it ideal for both professional use and serious collectors.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Ultratech GEN IV balances full-size cutting power with practical carry for tactical, outdoor, and everyday applications. The blade is crafted from Böhler M390MK steel, known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness under rigorous use. Its stonewash finish enhances durability and reduces glare, while the part-serrated design provides versatility for slicing, cutting rope, and handling tougher tasks that a plain edge alone might struggle with. The drop-point style ensures broad utility, giving the user a reliable tool for both precision and heavier-duty applications.
The handle is machined from 6161-T6 aluminum and anodized in black, offering both strength and a secure, ergonomic grip. Torx screws reinforce the construction, ensuring long-term stability and durability even under repeated use. An integrated glass breaker adds functional emergency capability, making the knife a versatile tool for both tactical and survival scenarios. GEN IV refinements, including the Crud Kutter™ debris channel and Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, optimize blade deployment and retraction, giving smooth, consistent performance in all conditions.
The double-action OTF mechanism, activated via a thumb slider, allows for fast, controlled deployment and retraction. Despite its full-size profile, the Ultratech GEN IV is balanced and responsive in hand, with ergonomic contours that provide comfort and control during extended use. Its combination of premium materials, tactical design, and the functional part-serrated blade makes it an essential choice for collectors, professionals, and enthusiasts who demand both performance and style.
