The Microtech Ultratech OTF Automatic Knife is a proven icon in the world of out-the-front knives, combining precision engineering, rugged construction, and fast, dependable automatic action in a streamlined package. Made in the USA, this Model 123-13 delivers the performance and distinctive styling that have made the Ultratech a benchmark for modern OTF knives.
At the business end, the 3.4" tanto blade features a striking bronze finish that pairs perfectly with the black aluminum handle and bronze hardware. The tanto profile is built with a reinforced point that provides excellent piercing strength and durability, while the angular edge geometry offers a capable cutting surface for a wide range of demanding tasks. It's a blade designed to look as tough as it performs.
The Ultratech's double-action OTF mechanism gives you rapid deployment and retraction using the thumb slider mounted directly into the handle. Unlike a single-action OTF, the blade can be deployed and retracted with the same control, making it quick and convenient to operate. Microtech's proprietary mechanism keeps the firing spring at rest when the blade is fully deployed or retracted, helping reduce unnecessary spring wear and contributing to the knife's long-term reliability.
The 5" black aluminum handle provides a strong yet lightweight foundation for the knife, while the bronze hardware adds a distinctive contrast and refined finish. At just 3.6 ounces, the Ultratech is light enough for comfortable everyday carry without sacrificing the solid construction expected from a Microtech automatic. The integrated tip-down bronze pocket clip keeps the knife securely positioned and adds another touch of color to the overall design.
Measuring 8.5" overall, the Ultratech strikes a practical balance between blade length, handle size, and carryability. Its thumb slider is positioned for quick access, while the OTF configuration keeps the blade housed completely within the handle when it's not in use. Whether you're adding an iconic Microtech to your collection or looking for a lightweight automatic with serious capability, the Ultratech delivers a combination of performance and distinctive design that's hard to overlook.
The Microtech Ultratech 123-13 brings together a bronze tanto blade, black aluminum handle, bronze hardware, and fast double-action OTF performance in a USA-made package.
