Microtech Ultratech Gen IV OTF Automatic Knife Sandtrooper S/E AUMT112141SAD

Microtech set the standard for modern out-the-front automatics, earning a reputation for precision machining, dependable deployment, and rugged everyday performance. The Ultratech remains its flagship platform, built for users who want a slim, fast, and highly capable EDC that doesn’t compromise on strength or reliability.

This model carries a 3.35-inch premium drop point blade made from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK steel. Developed in collaboration with Böhler engineers, it refines the already proven M390 formula with improved edge retention and corrosion resistance, giving the blade long-lasting performance even under demanding use.

It’s a dual-action OTF automatic, firing open and retracting smoothly through a thumb slide with secure lockup in both positions. The handle is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, keeping weight down while maintaining structural strength. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip supports flexible carry, while the integrated glass breaker and lanyard hole add practical utility without cluttering the profile.

This special edition takes inspiration from the iconic Stormtrooper design but reimagines it as the Sandtrooper—weathered, dusted, and worn from long deployment on harsh desert terrain. The once-pristine white finish is transformed with distressed, sand-blasted styling that suggests grit, exposure, and extended field operations in unforgiving conditions, giving the knife a battle-worn character that stands apart from standard finishes.
