Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP OTF Automatic Knife Black Tactical Standard AUMT11221T

The Microtech Ultratech Gen III raises the bar once again for out-the-front automatic knives. As Microtech’s flagship model, the Ultratech is known for its precision engineering, rock-solid reliability, and aggressive performance in the field. This upgraded Gen III version builds on that legacy with refined enhancements that make a real difference in everyday carry.

At its core is a 3.35-inch premium steel drop point blade, finished in a sleek, non-reflective black DLC coating. The blade fires with authority thanks to Microtech’s patented Dual Fuel Drive system, a redesigned internal mechanism that delivers lightning-fast deployment with consistent lockup every time. It’s a dual-action setup, allowing the blade to deploy and retract with the same crisp thumb slide motion.

That thumb slide now features Krud Kutter grooves—strategic channels that help keep lint and debris from compromising the action. The black aircraft-grade aluminum handle is lightweight, tough, and precision-machined for a clean, no-slip grip. It’s fitted with upgraded Torx hardware for improved structural integrity and long-term serviceability.

Carry comfort is also improved with the addition of a ceramic ball on the ambidextrous pocket clip, which reduces friction and wear on pocket edges. At the base, a hardened glass breaker and lanyard hole add mission-ready versatility.

With a closed length of 5.01 inches and a weight of just 3.5 ounces, the Ultratech Gen III carries discreetly but hits with purpose. Every inch of this knife is built to perform—and it's proudly made in the USA.
