The Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP T/E Stonewash Standard OD Green brings together proven out-the-front performance, advanced engineering, and a classic tactical color scheme. Since its introduction in 1999, Microtech’s flagship Ultratech has continued to evolve through a series of refinements designed to improve functionality and reliability. This Gen III ZBP model carries that legacy forward with a stonewash-finished tanto blade, an OD green aluminum handle, and innovative mechanical upgrades that make it a standout addition to any everyday carry rotation or knife collection.
The 3.55-inch blade is crafted from premium M390MK stainless steel, a high-performance steel valued for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Its tanto profile features a reinforced point suited to controlled piercing tasks, while the blade’s stonewash finish gives it a subdued, utilitarian appearance that helps conceal the marks of regular use. The tanto edge provides practical cutting versatility, making this Ultratech a capable option for a range of everyday cutting applications.
As a double-action out-the-front automatic, the Ultratech deploys and retracts its blade using the conveniently positioned thumb actuator. This design allows for quick, controlled operation without the need to manually open or close the blade. Microtech’s Gen III platform introduces Zero Blade Play technology, engineered to minimize movement in the deployed blade and provide a more solid feel during use. The Crud Kutter system is designed to help manage debris within the mechanism, while the Dual-Fuel Drive Train represents another advancement in the Ultratech’s internal operating system. Together, these features reflect Microtech’s continued commitment to refining its signature OTF design.
The handle is constructed from durable 6061-T6 aluminum, offering a strong yet lightweight foundation for the knife’s precision components. Its OD green finish delivers a classic tactical look that pairs naturally with the stonewashed blade. Torx screws secure the construction, while the upgraded glass breaker adds a practical emergency feature to the handle’s rear. Every element contributes to the Ultratech’s distinctive balance of purposeful design and precision manufacturing.
Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP T/E Stonewash Standard OD Green combines premium materials, advanced deployment technology, and understated styling in one streamlined package. For Microtech enthusiasts and serious knife collectors alike, this latest-generation Ultratech offers a refined take on an established favorite.
