Microtech Ultratech GEN III OTF Auto ZBP D-E Standard Cerakote RAL-8000 AUMT11221CRA

The Microtech Ultratech GEN III OTF Automatic ZBP in Cerakote RAL-8000 represents the culmination of decades of innovation and refinement in the world of out-the-front knives. Since 1999, the Ultratech has been Microtech’s flagship, renowned for precision engineering, reliability, and tactical versatility. This latest iteration builds on that legacy, combining advanced materials, cutting-edge design features, and field-proven performance into a single compact and carry-ready package.

Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch double-edge dagger blade, the Ultratech GEN III strikes the perfect balance between reach and portability. The blade is forged from premium Böhler M390MK stainless steel, celebrated for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The flat grind and Cerakote RAL-8000 finish give the blade a rugged, low-glare appearance while enhancing durability in demanding environments. Full double-edge construction ensures versatile cutting and piercing capability, making it suitable for tactical, survival, or everyday tasks.

The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in matching Cerakote RAL-8000, creating a uniform, stealthy profile. Despite its robust construction, the knife weighs just 3.61 ounces, offering a lightweight, comfortable grip without compromising strength. Microtech’s attention to detail is evident in every component: Torx screws secure the handle, a reinforced glass breaker tip adds emergency utility, and a reversible titanium pocket clip with a ceramic ball provides secure, smooth carry. A lanyard hole adds additional carry flexibility, making the knife adaptable to a variety of user preferences.

Internally, the Ultratech GEN III features Microtech’s Crud Kutter™ system, channeling debris away from the mechanism to maintain smooth operation, and the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, delivering consistent and fast blade deployment. Most notably, the Zero Blade Play (ZBP) system virtually eliminates any side-to-side blade movement, offering rock-solid lockup and confidence in every deployment. The combination of these features ensures that the Ultratech GEN III remains one of the most reliable and precise OTF knives on the market.

Every aspect of this knife reflects Microtech’s commitment to American craftsmanship, durability, and tactical excellence. Whether added to a collection, carried for professional use, or deployed in the field, the GEN III ZBP in Cerakote RAL-8000 delivers unmatched performance with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Microtech’s Ultratech GEN III ZBP pairs rock-solid ZBP action with a sleek Cerakote RAL-8000 finish and a high-performance M390 blade. Available at SMKW the World's Largest Knife Store!
