Detailed product description

🔪 Microtech Ultratech Gen IV Red (11234-1RD)

The Microtech Ultratech Gen IV 11234-1RD automatic knife is an iconic new-generation OTF model that combines compact dimensions, high performance, and a modernized mechanism for everyday and tactical use.

The Ultratech model has long been the flagship of the Microtech brand, and in the Gen IV version it brings a major evolution in construction. It retains its slim EDC-friendly profile while raising reliability, ergonomics, and serviceability to a higher level.

The dominant feature is a single-edged blade (Single Edge / Drop Point), which offers excellent control for precise cutting while remaining versatile enough for everyday use. Compared to dagger variants, this configuration is significantly more practical for daily work.

As soon as you take the knife in hand, its slim and lightweight construction stands out immediately. The Ultratech is designed to always be within reach — you will barely notice it in your pocket, yet it delivers full-size performance when needed.

The Tactical (black) blade finish reduces glare and supports discreet use in the field.

The blade is made from premium M390MK® steel (Böhler M390), offering high edge retention, excellent corrosion resistance, and consistently stable long-term performance.

The OTF mechanism on the Gen IV has been redesigned — the action is smoother, more consistent, and more reliable than on previous generations. Another new feature is the use of standard Torx screws instead of proprietary ones, which significantly simplifies maintenance and service.

The Ultratech Gen IV is a knife that combines compactness with performance — ideal as an everyday automatic tool without compromise.
