Detailed product description

The Microtech Ultratech® Gen IV Interceptor® Apocalyptic® Signature Series Topographic Deep Engraved Standard is a modern version of the brand’s iconic OTF knife. With this generation, the manufacturer continues the long-term development of the Ultratech® line, which it has described as its flagship platform since 1999. This specific 11174TP-10APS version combines the double-edge Interceptor® blade shape with an Apocalyptic® finish and decorative deep topographic engraving, giving the knife a distinctive collector’s appeal as well as strong user appeal.

The construction is based on a 6061-T6 aluminum handle assembled with Torx screws. The manufacturer also lists an updated glass breaker and the new-generation Ultratech® features designated as Crud Kutter™, Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, and Zero Blade Play. With an overall length of 8.54" and a blade length of 3.55", this is a slim automatic knife suited to customers looking for a combination of rapid deployment, compact dimensions, and the bold design execution of the Signature Series.

Character and philosophy

The Ultratech® line is built around the combination of fast automatic deployment, a slim profile, and a focus on ongoing mechanical development. The Gen IV variant advances this philosophy with a new generation of design elements, while the Interceptor® blade will appeal to users and collectors who prefer a boldly shaped dagger silhouette and premium Signature Series editions.
