Microtech Ultratech GEN III ZBP S-E Black Standard Tactical OTF Automatic 3.55In AUMT11211T

The Microtech Ultratech GEN III ZBP S-E Black Standard Tactical is the evolution of a proven platform, now upgraded with next-gen features that redefine what an out-the-front automatic knife can do. Engineered and proudly made in the USA, this blade is built for professionals who rely on speed, strength, and consistency in the field.

Measuring approximately 8.54 inches overall, the Ultratech GEN III houses a 3.55-inch single-edge blade crafted from Böhler M390MK stainless steel. This high-performance steel is known for excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness—ideal for hard-use environments. The black finish on the blade adds tactical discretion and wear resistance.

The handle is precision-machined from black anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, offering strength without excess weight. Weighing in at just 3.6 ounces, this knife delivers full-size utility in a lightweight, easily carried package. The low-profile glass breaker adds utility without compromising comfort or carry profile.

What sets the GEN III apart is its upgraded internal engineering. Microtech's Zero Blade Play (ZBP) technology ensures a rock-solid lockup rarely found in OTF knives, eliminating lateral movement for unmatched stability. The Dual-Fuel drivetrain and Crud-Kutter system improve reliability under real-world conditions by enhancing blade travel and reducing the effects of dirt, grit, and wear over time.

The action is dual-action OTF, powered by a thumb slide for rapid deployment and retraction with either hand. Whether you're working in gloves or under stress, the mechanism stays responsive and sure.

For carry, a titanium pocket clip is mounted tip-down and designed for ambidextrous use. It's secure, discreet, and ready to go wherever you're headed. Designed with input from users who live and work with their blades daily, the Ultratech GEN III ZBP delivers professional-grade performance in a sleek, battle-ready profile.

The Ultratech GEN III is a no-nonsense tool for those who refuse to compromise—reliable, precise, and proudly American-made. Check out our large variety of Microtech Knives at SMKW!
