Microtech's Gen IV Ultratech is M390MK (Böhler M390 variant). Verified on the SMKW listing (SKU AUMT112141T = Microtech 11214-1T) because Microtech's own Ultratech S/E pages omit the steel and show the model sold out; SMKW had it in stock at $367, which is the same price microtechknives.com lists for the sibling Ultratech Gen IV S/E Black Standard (11214-1RD). Weight and thickness are not given on the listing.
