Microtech – 11234-10RD – Ultratech Gen IV – OTF Auto – M390MK Stonewash Tanto – Aluminum – Red

The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV 11234-10RD represents the latest evolution of one of the most iconic out-the-front automatic knives ever produced by Microtech Knives. First introduced in 1999, the Ultratech quickly established itself as the flagship model in Microtech’s lineup and a standard by which many other OTF knives are judged. The Gen IV iteration continues that legacy by refining the classic design while maintaining the durability, precision engineering, and high-performance operation that enthusiasts have come to expect. Built with a sleek, streamlined profile, the Ultratech Gen IV measures approximately 8.55 inches overall and features a precision-ground 3.55-inch blade with a rugged stonewashed finish. This finish not only enhances the knife’s tactical appearance but also helps conceal minor wear from regular use. The blade deploys with Microtech’s signature double-action out-the-front mechanism, allowing the user to both deploy and retract the blade with a single thumb slide. The system delivers smooth, reliable operation thanks to Microtech’s upgraded internal drive system and thoughtful engineering. The handle is machined from lightweight yet strong 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a bold red anodized coating that provides both visual appeal and corrosion resistance. Torx hardware securely holds the construction together, ensuring long-term durability while allowing for proper maintenance when needed. The ergonomic handle shape offers a comfortable and secure grip, making the knife suitable for everyday carry, utility tasks, and collectors who appreciate high-quality American craftsmanship. Microtech has also incorporated several of its signature features into the Gen IV Ultratech, including the Crud Kutter system that helps reduce debris buildup inside the mechanism. The improved glass breaker at the base of the handle adds emergency utility without compromising the knife’s sleek design. While this model does not include the Zero Blade Play (ZBP) system found in some premium variants, it maintains the dependable lockup and performance that have made the Ultratech famous worldwide. Whether you’re a collector of premium automatic knives, a first-time Microtech owner, or someone looking for a dependable American-made OTF, the Ultratech Gen IV delivers a refined balance of innovation, reliability, and striking design.
