The Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP Bayonet Black Standard OD Green brings the proven 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 respected platform known for its innovative mechanics, dependable operation, and distinctive design. This Gen III ZBP model pairs a sleek black bayonet blade with an OD green aluminum handle, creating a tactical combination that balances understated styling with 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 features a distinctive, symmetrical shape that delivers an unmistakable appearance while providing versatile cutting capability. The black blade finish complements the subdued OD green handle, creating a cohesive look that fits naturally into Microtech's tactical design language. Whether you're adding to a collection or appreciating the engineering behind a precision-built automatic, 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 access to the blade while allowing it to return into the handle when retracted. The Gen III ZBP platform introduces several important 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 provides a subdued, tactical appearance that contrasts cleanly with the black 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 delivers substantial cutting capability in a streamlined OTF design. Its combination of premium M390MK steel, refined deployment technology, and durable aluminum construction reflects Microtech's ongoing commitment to innovation and precision manufacturing.
The Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP Bayonet Black Standard OD Green is an excellent choice for automatic knife enthusiasts and collectors seeking a modern evolution of an iconic platform with distinctive tactical styling.
