The Microtech Ultratech GEN IV T/E OTF Auto Standard Wookiee channels raw strength and unmistakable character into a precision-built automatic knife. Inspired by the legendary Wookiee warrior Chewbacca—Han Solo’s loyal co-pilot—this piece captures the spirit of one of sci-fi’s most iconic figures with a design that’s bold, recognizable, and built to perform.
Since 1999, Microtech’s Ultratech has set the standard for out-the-front automatics, and the Gen IV represents the most refined evolution yet. Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch tanto edge blade, it offers a balanced profile that’s equally suited for carry, collection, or serious use. The blade is crafted from premium M390MK steel, known for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance under demanding conditions.
The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, keeping the weight down to a highly manageable 3.61 ounces without sacrificing strength. Finished in a rich brown tone, the handle features detailed artwork that mimics the look of flowing Wookiee hair, paired with the unmistakable bandolier design across the body. While it appears textured, the surface remains smooth, relying on its contoured shape and precision machining for a secure, comfortable grip.
Microtech didn’t just refine the exterior—they upgraded what’s inside as well. The Gen IV introduces the Crud Kutter™ system, designed to channel debris away from the internal mechanism to maintain reliable operation. Combined with the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, deployment is smoother, more consistent, and built to perform when it matters most. The upgraded glass breaker adds practical utility, rounding out a knife that’s as functional as it is visually striking.
The blade finish complements the earthy tones of the handle, creating a cohesive, themed look that stands out without compromising performance. Every detail works together to deliver a knife that honors its inspiration while staying true to Microtech’s reputation for quality and innovation.
From bandolier to blade, it’s pure Wookiee energy in hand, available at SMKW.
