SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto S/E SW Part Serrated Red is a premium automatic knife designed for tactical users, collectors, and professionals who demand precision and reliability. Since its introduction in 1999, the Ultratech has set the benchmark for out-the-front knives, combining smooth deployment, ergonomic handling, and superior engineering. The GEN IV iteration builds on this legacy, offering refined internal mechanisms, enhanced performance features, and a striking red anodized handle that makes it as visually distinctive as it is functional.
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, celebrated for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness under demanding use. Its stonewash finish provides a rugged, low-glare appearance while helping conceal minor scratches and wear. The part-serrated drop-point blade adds versatility, enabling users to perform precision slicing as well as tougher cutting tasks that benefit from serrations, making it a highly adaptable tool in any scenario.
The handle is machined from 6161-T6 aluminum and anodized in bold red, offering both durability and an ergonomic, secure grip. Torx screws reinforce the construction, ensuring long-term structural integrity under repeated use. An integrated glass breaker enhances emergency functionality, making the knife suitable for professional, tactical, and survival scenarios. 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. Despite its full-size profile, the Ultratech GEN IV is balanced and responsive in hand, with contoured ergonomics that provide comfort and precision during extended use. Its combination of premium materials, tactical engineering, and vivid red handle makes it a standout tool for collectors, professionals, and enthusiasts who demand both performance and style.
