SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech GEN IV OTF Auto T/E Stonewash Standard Red Aluminum Handle stands at the forefront of out-the-front performance. Since 1999, the Ultratech has been Microtech’s flagship platform, setting the benchmark for precision, durability, and uncompromising function. The Gen IV evolution takes that legacy even further with refined engineering and upgraded internals that push this iconic automatic into a new era.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch tanto edge blade, the Ultratech delivers decisive cutting power in a streamlined profile. The plain edge configuration maximizes slicing efficiency, while the angular tanto tip provides reinforced strength where it counts. Crafted from premium M390MK blade steel, the stonewash-finished blade offers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. It’s built to hold its edge through demanding use and maintain performance you can rely on.
Deployment is fast, authoritative, and controlled. The Ultratech’s out-the-front automatic mechanism is enhanced by Microtech’s Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, delivering consistent, smooth action with every push of the thumb slide. The updated internals improve reliability and feel, making this generation the most refined Ultratech yet. When it’s time to maintain your knife, Microtech’s Crud Kutter™ system helps keep debris from compromising performance, ensuring it continues to fire with confidence.
The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, offering an ideal balance of strength and weight. At just 3.61 ounces, it carries light without sacrificing structural integrity. The bold red finish gives the knife a commanding presence, while the hardware is secured with Torx screws for durability and serviceability. An upgraded glass breaker at the base adds an extra layer of utility, reinforcing the Ultratech’s role as a serious tool.
Every detail of the Gen IV Ultratech reflects Microtech’s commitment to evolution through precision engineering. From the reinforced tanto tip to the refined drive system, this automatic knife isn’t just a carry piece—it’s a statement of performance and control.
