Microtech – 1152-10MS1 – Nemesis IV – OTF Auto – M390MK Stonewash Dagger – Hardcoat Aluminum – Black

The Microtech Nemesis IV OTF Automatic Knife – Model 1152-10MS1 stands as one of the most ambitious and visually striking out-the-front automatics ever produced by Microtech. Designed by legendary knife maker Tony Marfione, the Nemesis IV pushes the boundaries of automatic knife engineering with a bold mechanical design, imposing size, and unmistakable aesthetics. Built in the United States with precision manufacturing and extremely tight tolerances, this model represents the high-performance edge of Microtech’s OTF lineup. Unlike traditional OTF knives that rely on standard button-controlled retraction, the Nemesis IV introduces a distinctive and highly engineered mechanism that separates it from previous Microtech models such as the Halo series. The blade deploys with a powerful double-action automatic system using the firing button, delivering the authoritative snap collectors and enthusiasts expect from Microtech. However, retraction utilizes a unique liner lock-style tab integrated into the handle. By shifting the tab and pulling on the butt end piece of the knife, the blade retracts smoothly back into the handle. This innovative mechanical design gives the Nemesis IV a tactile and mechanical feel rarely experienced in automatic knives. The 4.40-inch double-edge dagger blade is crafted from premium Bohler M390MK stainless steel, a high-end steel renowned for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. Finished with a rugged stonewash treatment, the blade maintains a clean, functional appearance that helps conceal wear from regular use. A pronounced fuller (blood groove) runs along the blade, reducing weight while enhancing the knife’s aggressive visual profile. The handle is constructed from hardcoat anodized aluminum alloy, sculpted with purposeful contours that create a comfortable and secure grip. Complementing the handle are double vapor-blasted 17-4 stainless steel hardware components and a durable titanium pocket clip configured for tip-down, right-side carry. Every element of the Nemesis IV reflects Microtech’s commitment to quality craftsmanship, innovative engineering, and unmistakable style. This knife commands attention not only for its size and mechanical sophistication but also for its unmistakable presence in any serious knife collection.
