The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV continues the evolution of one of the most iconic out-the-front automatics ever built. As Microtech’s flagship OTF platform, the Ultratech has set the standard for reliability, speed, and precision, and the Gen IV refinement enhances that legacy with improved internal engineering, smoother actuation, and increased durability for demanding everyday and tactical use.
This configuration features a 3.55" fully serrated dagger blade crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK premium stainless steel, finished in a rugged stonewash. The stonewash treatment helps conceal wear from hard use while delivering a clean, functional look built for real-world cutting tasks. The dagger profile provides aggressive dual-edge symmetry for piercing performance, while the full serration maximizes cutting power through rope, webbing, and tough fibrous materials. M390MK is developed in collaboration with Böhler engineers to refine the already elite M390 steel, delivering enhanced edge retention, superior corrosion resistance, and long-term toughness.
The Gen IV Ultratech incorporates Microtech’s Dual-Fuel Drive Train, engineered to deliver smoother, more consistent blade deployment and retraction through the thumb slide. It refines the dual-action OTF mechanism for improved control and reliability, while the integrated Crud Kutter system helps clear debris from the internal channel to maintain dependable function in harsh conditions. The upgraded glass breaker adds practical emergency capability without unnecessary bulk.
The handle is crafted from black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, offering a lightweight yet highly durable frame with a tactical, low-profile finish. Its ergonomic contouring ensures a secure and comfortable grip during use, while the ambidextrous stainless steel Signature Series pocket clip supports versatile carry options. A lanyard hole adds additional retention capability for field use. Measuring 4.99" closed and weighing just 3.61 ounces, it delivers full-size performance in a streamlined package. Proudly made in the USA, it reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision engineering and rugged reliability.
