Microtech Ultratech GEN III ZBP OTF Auto S/E Standard Cerakote Purple Apocalyptic Hardware AUMT11211PUC16Z13

Built for performance and refined over decades, the Microtech Ultratech GEN III ZBP OTF Auto S/E in standard Cerakote purple with apocalyptic hardware is the latest evolution of Microtech’s iconic flagship. This Gen III model isn’t just an update—it’s a leap forward in reliability, precision, and design that keeps the Ultratech on top of the out-the-front game.

At 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch single-edge blade made from M390MK steel, this knife strikes a balance between cutting power and EDC practicality. The M390MK blade steel—formulated specifically for Microtech—delivers premium edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness for demanding use. The blade is finished in a clean, standard profile and operates with Microtech’s signature dual-action deployment, firing out fast and locking back with authority.

This Gen III model introduces several exclusive upgrades. First, Zero Blade Play (ZBP) engineering ensures the blade sits solidly with no rattle or looseness—rare in many OTFs. The Dual-Fuel Drive Train uses two opposing springs to reduce thumb effort and improve longevity, while the Crud Kutter groove system under the deployment slide keeps dirt and pocket lint from slowing down performance. It’s a system designed to run cleaner, smoother, and longer, no matter how rough your daily environment.

The chassis is machined from durable 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in a vibrant Cerakote purple, making it stand out while still maintaining tactical appeal. Apocalyptic-finished hardware adds a rugged, worn-in look, from the Torx screws to the clip and glass breaker. This knife isn’t meant to sit in a drawer—it’s made to be carried, used, and relied on.

Despite its robust performance features, the knife remains lightweight at just 3.61 ounces and slips easily into a pocket thanks to its slim profile. Whether you’re a first responder, knife enthusiast, or someone who simply demands the best from their gear, the Ultratech GEN III is ready for duty. Turn heads with the Cerakote Purple Ultratech GEN III—available at SMKW for those who carry bold and built-to-last.
