The Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP Bayonet Apocalyptic Standard OD Green brings the legendary performance of Microtech's flagship out-the-front automatic into a new generation of precision engineering. Since its introduction in 1999, the Ultratech has undergone numerous refinements, evolving into a highly regarded platform known for its innovative mechanics and distinctive design. This Gen III ZBP model combines a purposeful bayonet blade, a weathered Apocalyptic finish, and an OD green aluminum handle for a tactical appearance backed by modern functionality.
The 3.55-inch bayonet blade is crafted from premium M390MK stainless steel, a high-performance material valued for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Its double-edged bayonet profile delivers a distinctive, symmetrical appearance while providing versatile cutting capability. The Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a worn, battle-tested look that complements the subdued OD green handle, creating a cohesive design with unmistakable Microtech character. Whether you're a dedicated collector or an enthusiast who appreciates precision-built automatic knives, this Ultratech makes a strong impression.
As a double-action out-the-front automatic, the Ultratech deploys and retracts its blade through a conveniently positioned thumb actuator. This operating system provides quick, controlled access to the blade while allowing it to return into the handle when retracted. The Gen III ZBP platform introduces several notable refinements, including Zero Blade Play technology, engineered to minimize movement in the deployed blade for a more solid feel. Microtech's Crud Kutter technology is designed to help manage debris within the mechanism, while the Dual-Fuel Drive Train represents an advancement in the knife's internal operating system.
The handle is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a durable yet lightweight foundation for the knife's precision components. Its OD green finish delivers a subdued tactical look that pairs naturally with the Apocalyptic blade. Torx screws secure the construction and support routine maintenance, while an upgraded glass breaker adds a practical emergency-oriented feature to the handle's rear.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Ultratech Gen III ZBP provides substantial cutting capability in a streamlined OTF design. Its combination of premium M390MK steel, refined deployment technology, and robust aluminum construction reflects Microtech's continued commitment to innovation and precision manufacturing.
The Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP Bayonet Apocalyptic Standard OD Green is an excellent addition for automatic knife enthusiasts seeking a modern evolution of an iconic platform with distinctive tactical styling.
