The Microtech Ultratech ZBP (Zero Blade Play) continues the legacy of one of the most respected out-the-front automatic knives ever built. As the flagship model that helped define Microtech's reputation, this latest generation refines every detail with enhanced engineering, premium materials, and the uncompromising reliability that has made the Ultratech the benchmark for OTF performance.
Its 3.55" drop point blade is crafted from Microtech's proprietary Böhler M390MK premium stainless steel and finished with the company's distinctive Apocalyptic finish, making every knife uniquely patterned. Developed in collaboration with engineers at Böhler, M390MK builds upon the legendary performance of M390 by delivering even greater edge retention and corrosion resistance while maintaining exceptional toughness. The versatile drop point profile is equally capable of precision slicing, utility work, and everyday cutting tasks.
The ZBP Ultratech features Microtech's smooth dual-action out-the-front automatic mechanism, deploying and retracting the blade with a positive push of the thumb slide. Fast, reliable, and incredibly satisfying to operate, the mechanism showcases the precision manufacturing that's made Microtech a leader in the automatic knife world. Every deployment locks securely into place, inspiring confidence with every use.
The natural clear aircraft-grade aluminum handle preserves the aluminum's native metallic appearance beneath a durable protective anodized coating that enhances corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Complementing the clean industrial look are an ambidextrous stainless steel Signature Series pocket clip for versatile carry, an integrated glass breaker for emergencies, and a lanyard hole for additional carry options. Measuring 4.99" closed and weighing only 3.61 ounces, the Ultratech delivers full-size capability without unnecessary bulk. Proudly made in the USA, it's a premium automatic built to exceed expectations.
