SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech has defined the benchmark for out-the-front automatic knives, evolving through constant refinement and precision engineering. The Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto T/E Black Standard Blade Cyan Handle carries that legacy forward with upgraded internals, premium blade steel, and a bold color combination that stands out in any lineup.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Gen IV Ultratech delivers the balanced proportions and confident handling that have made it Microtech’s flagship. This version features a plain edge tanto blade crafted from M390MK steel, a high-performance alloy known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. The tanto profile offers reinforced tip strength for piercing tasks, while the straight cutting edge provides clean, controlled slicing. The black standard blade finish enhances the knife’s low-profile appeal and helps minimize glare and visible wear during demanding use.
The handle is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a striking cyan anodizing that brings a modern, high-visibility look to this proven platform. Lightweight yet strong, the aluminum chassis keeps the knife at just 3.61 ounces, making it comfortable for daily carry without compromising structural integrity. The slim, ergonomic frame fits naturally in hand, and the textured thumb slide ensures positive traction for smooth deployment and retraction. Torx screw construction secures the assembly and allows for proper maintenance when required. An upgraded glass breaker integrated into the base adds practical emergency functionality while maintaining the streamlined silhouette.
At the core of the Gen IV platform is Microtech’s Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, engineered to enhance the firing cycle with smoother, more consistent out-the-front action. Each press of the thumb slide produces crisp, authoritative deployment that reflects the precision behind every Ultratech. Complementing that system is Crud Kutter™ technology, designed to help reduce internal debris buildup and support dependable long-term performance.
Every detail of the Ultratech Gen IV reflects decades of innovation and a commitment to high-performance automatic design. It’s built for those who demand reinforced tip strength, premium materials, and confident OTF deployment in a compact, carry-friendly platform. Whether it’s part of your daily rotation or a standout addition to a collection, this cyan-handled Ultratech delivers performance with unmistakable presence.
