Microtech Ultratech Gen IV Partially Serrated Blackout T/E AUMT112342T

The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV continues the evolution of one of the most respected out-the-front automatics ever produced. Built on Microtech’s legacy of precision engineering and field-proven reliability, the Ultratech remains the flagship OTF platform, and the Gen IV refinement enhances that reputation with improved internal mechanics, smoother actuation, and increased durability for demanding everyday and tactical use.

This configuration features a 3.55" partially serrated tanto blade crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK premium stainless steel and finished in a deep black coating. The dark finish delivers a low-profile tactical appearance while adding an extra layer of surface durability for heavy use environments. The tanto profile reinforces the tip for piercing strength and controlled pressure tasks, while the partially serrated edge increases cutting performance on rope, webbing, and other fibrous materials. M390MK is developed in collaboration with Böhler engineers to refine the already elite M390 steel, improving edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term toughness under demanding conditions.

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 classic dual-action OTF system for improved control and reliability through repeated use, while the integrated Crud Kutter system helps clear debris from the internal channel to maintain dependable function in harsh environments. The upgraded glass breaker adds practical emergency utility without unnecessary bulk.

The handle is constructed from black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, offering a lightweight yet exceptionally durable frame with a uniform tactical aesthetic. Ergonomic contouring provides a secure, confident 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.
