Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP D/E Black Standard Natural Clear AUMT11221NC

Built for performance and trusted by professionals, the Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP D/E Black Standard Natural Clear is the latest evolution in Microtech’s flagship out-the-front (OTF) automatic knife series. Measuring 8.54” overall and featuring a 3.55” double-edge dagger blade made from M390MK steel, this Gen III Ultratech delivers maximum edge retention, corrosion resistance, and cutting performance. The black-coated blade enhances stealth and durability, while the symmetrical dagger grind is optimized for piercing and precision slicing.

The Gen III Ultratech introduces a range of performance upgrades. At the heart of the new model is the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, a proprietary innovation delivering smoother deployment and retraction with increased reliability and power under stress. The Crud Kutter™ system helps prevent debris buildup in the internal mechanism, maintaining peak performance in harsh environments. And with Microtech’s Zero Blade Play (ZBP) technology, every lock-up is tight, secure, and confidence-inspiring.

The handle is machined from high-grade 6061-T6 aluminum with a natural clear finish, offering a raw, industrial aesthetic that sets it apart from typical anodized models. The handle’s slim profile is rugged yet lightweight, weighing in at just 3.61 oz, and the ergonomic grip ensures confident handling under pressure. A durable black-finished tip-down pocket clip allows for secure, discreet carry, while the updated glass breaker at the pommel adds real-world utility when seconds matter.

The dual-action automatic thumb slide allows for rapid deployment and retraction with one hand—ideal for professionals who need speed and reliability in the field. With Torx screw construction and a robust internal design, this knife is built to be serviced, used, and trusted for years.

Proudly made in the USA, the Ultratech Gen III continues Microtech’s legacy of excellence, blending cutting-edge design with uncompromising materials and craftsmanship. Whether you're a first responder, military operator, or serious knife enthusiast, this knife is engineered to perform when it matters most. Order it today from Smoky Mountain Knife Works!
