Microtech Gen IV Ultratech 11224HT-1PUAA - Double Edge, Half Tri-Grip, Purple Abrasion

The Microtech Gen IV Ultratech 11224HT-1PUAA is a premium out-the-front automatic knife that represents the next evolution of Microtech’s flagship Ultratech platform, combining updated Gen IV mechanical improvements with a distinctive purple abrasion-finished handle and aggressive double-edge blade configuration. As Microtech’s signature OTF platform, the Ultratech has long been regarded as one of the defining knives in the premium automatic knife market. The Gen IV series introduces substantial internal redesigns focused on smoother deployment, easier maintenance, improved operational consistency, and refined overall mechanical performance compared to earlier Ultratech generations. The blade is manufactured from Bohler M390MK stainless steel, Microtech’s proprietary variant of M390 developed specifically for their production processes and heat treatment protocols. The steel is engineered to provide strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and long-term cutting performance suitable for premium hard-use automatic knives. The purple abrasion finish creates a unique textured appearance. This model also incorporates the Half Tri-Grip handle milling pattern, which adds enhanced traction without the more aggressive full Tri-Grip machining found on some Ultratech variants. The Gen IV platform also features Microtech’s updated drive system and internal architecture, designed to improve button feel, deployment smoothness, and serviceability. The revised chassis geometry maintains the slim carry profile that has made the Ultratech one of the most popular premium OTF platforms for everyday carry and collection purposes alike.
