The Microtech Ultratech Gen III OTF Automatic Knife takes one of the most trusted out-the-front platforms and pushes it further with refined engineering and upgraded internal systems. Built for consistent performance and dependable carry, it combines Microtech’s signature speed with modern enhancements designed for real-world use.
The 3.35" double edge Interceptor sawback Bowie blade is crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK stainless steel, an exclusive alloy developed with Böhler engineers to improve edge retention and corrosion resistance over standard M390 while maintaining excellent toughness. The blade features a rugged stonewash finish that helps reduce glare and conceal wear, while the aggressive sawback spine and Interceptor Bowie profile deliver enhanced cutting versatility and piercing capability.
A dual-action out-the-front automatic system provides rapid deployment and retraction through a smooth thumb slide, powered by Microtech’s Dual Fuel Drive system for consistent, high-speed performance. The Gen III Ultratech also incorporates the Zero Blade Play (ZBP) system, significantly reducing blade movement when deployed for a more secure, confidence-in-hand lockup.
The handle is constructed from black anodized EX-machined aluminum alloy, offering a lightweight yet highly durable frame with aggressive machining for improved grip and control. A stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip ensures secure carry, while an integrated glass breaker and lanyard hole add practical utility for emergency situations.
This updated Gen III model includes Krud Kutter grooves on the thumb slide to help reduce debris buildup, a ceramic thumb ball on the pocket clip to extend pocket life, and upgraded Torx hardware for long-term durability across the platform.
Measuring 5.01" closed and weighing 3.5 ounces, the Ultratech remains compact enough for everyday carry while delivering serious cutting capability in a refined automatic design. Every knife is proudly made in the USA with Microtech’s commitment to precision manufacturing.
