SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech GEN III ZBP D/E Black Full Serrated Natural Clear is a purpose-built out-the-front automatic knife that combines cutting-edge performance with refined durability. As part of Microtech’s third-generation Ultratech lineup, this model is designed to meet the demands of serious users who rely on their gear in the harshest conditions. Precision-engineered and proudly made in the USA, it reflects Microtech’s relentless pursuit of innovation and toughness.
At 8.54 inches overall and weighing just 3.61 ounces, the Ultratech GEN III remains lightweight, fast, and easy to carry. Its 3.55-inch dagger blade is crafted from high-performance M390MK stainless steel, offering excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Coated in black and fully serrated on a single edge, the blade excels at tearing through fibrous materials, ropes, and heavy-duty cutting tasks where a smooth edge just won’t cut it. The dual-action thumb slide offers fast, one-handed deployment and retraction, with a crisp, mechanical feel that makes it clear you're holding a serious tool.
The natural clear 6061-T6 aluminum handle gives this knife a raw, industrial look, standing out from typical finishes while maintaining strength and corrosion resistance. It’s equipped with black hardware throughout, including a black tip-down pocket clip, glass breaker, and deployment switch—offering contrast and visual edge without compromising function. The contoured handle is comfortable in hand and built for control, whether in daily use or emergency situations.
New to the GEN III series are Microtech’s proprietary upgrades: the Crud Kutter™, which helps keep debris out of the action; the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, delivering reliable power and performance with every deployment; and Zero Blade Play technology, ensuring the blade remains rock solid when extended. These refinements make the GEN III the most advanced Ultratech to date, with the kind of rugged dependability professionals demand.
This knife is proudly made in the USA, built with American materials and craftsmanship that reflect Microtech’s high standards and unwavering commitment to quality. Whether you're adding to your collection or depending on it in the field, the Ultratech GEN III is ready for whatever comes next. Order it today from SMKW!
