This Microtech Gen IV Ultratech Out the Front automatic knife features a contoured blue aluminum handle.
The tanto style blade has a rugged apocalyptic finish. The blade is Bohler M390MK steel, this is Microtech's proprietary blade steel which has high carbon content for superb edge retention.
This knife delivers refined performance and incredible upgrades to take the already iconic Ultratech to new levels. The knife features a redesigned glass breaker, offering improved breaking force. The thumb slide delivers smooth double action automatic open and close. The Gen IV model features the Dual Fuel Drivetrain that reduces the force necessary to open and close the knife. Additionally, it has the Crud Cutter, which reduced friction and breaks down lint and debris so they don't get inside the internals. This internal system is designed to improve your deployment experience even under adverse conditions and increase the reliability of this OTF.
The Gen IV Ultratech also has a machined titanium pocket clip with a silica carbide ball. The hardware on this model matches the apocalyptic finish on the blade.
The Ultratech without question has been Microtech's flagship out the front auto knife since its induction in 1999. Recently it has gone through an additional aesthetic redesign after the overwhelming success and praise of the traditional styling. While the dimensions of the Ultratech remain unchanged, the handle has been stripped back down to its original roots--now offering a smooth contoured chassis, however still boasting the tri-angle hardware, a redesigned thumb slide and the glass breaker that now includes a press fitted ball bearing for a more comfortable, but still functional, user experience. Each Microtech OTF knife has extremely sophisticated internal mechanisms which improve the overall operational functionality and reliability.
