Microtech Ultratech Gen IV OTF Automatic Knife Serrated Apocalyptic T/E Black AUMT1123412AP

The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV represents the continued evolution of one of the most iconic out-the-front automatics ever built. Microtech established the modern standard for OTF performance, and the Ultratech remains the brand’s flagship platform, known for its precision engineering, fast deployment, and long-term reliability. The Gen IV refinement enhances that legacy with improved internal mechanics, smoother actuation, and increased durability for demanding everyday and tactical use.

This configuration features a 3.55" fully serrated tanto blade crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK premium stainless steel and finished in a distinctive Apocalyptic treatment. The Apocalyptic finish produces a heavily worn, battle-tested appearance that helps conceal scratches and carry wear while giving each blade a unique, hard-use character. The tanto profile reinforces the tip for piercing strength and controlled penetration, while the full serration delivers aggressive cutting performance through rope, webbing, and tough fibrous materials. M390MK is developed in collaboration with Böhler engineers to improve upon the already elite M390 steel, offering enhanced edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-term toughness under extreme use.

The Gen IV Ultratech incorporates Microtech’s Dual-Fuel Drive Train, engineered to provide smoother, more consistent blade deployment and retraction through the thumb slide. It refines the classic dual-action OTF mechanism for improved control and reliability through repeated operation, while the integrated Crud Kutter system helps clear debris from the internal channel to maintain dependable performance in harsh environments. The upgraded glass breaker adds practical emergency capability without unnecessary bulk.

The handle is constructed from black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering a lightweight yet highly durable frame with a tactical, low-profile finish. Ergonomic contouring ensures a secure, comfortable grip during use, while the ambidextrous stainless steel Signature Series pocket clip supports versatile everyday carry. A lanyard hole adds additional retention options for field applications. Measuring 4.99" closed and weighing just 3.61 ounces, it delivers full-size OTF capability in a streamlined, carry-friendly package. Proudly made in the USA, it reflects Microtech’s continued commitment to precision craftsmanship and reliability.
