High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Ultratech OTF Automatic Knife Zero Blade Play Shadow DLC Tanto is built for professionals who demand peak reliability in their gear. At the core is a 3.35" tanto blade crafted from premium stainless steel, finished in a rugged black DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating for maximum durability and corrosion resistance. This blade punches through tough materials with a reinforced point and straight-edge design that excels in piercing and slicing tasks alike.
What sets this Ultratech apart is Microtech's groundbreaking Zero Blade Play technology. When deployed, the blade locks into place with absolute solidity—no wiggle, no rattle. Side-to-side or up-and-down movement is completely eliminated, giving users a level of precision and confidence rarely seen in an OTF platform. It’s a game-changer for anyone who depends on their knife to perform under pressure.
The 5.01" aircraft-grade aluminum handle is lightweight but rock-solid, featuring matching DLC-coated hardware for a fully blacked-out, mission-ready look. The chassis is contoured for a sure grip and houses a reliable thumb slide that opens and locks the blade with fast, crisp action. A hardened glass breaker on the base and a deep-carry stainless steel pocket clip round out the tactical package.
Weighing in at just 3.5oz and measuring 8.36" overall when deployed, the Ultratech Zero Blade Play Tanto offers an ideal balance of speed, strength, and streamlined carry. Every detail is engineered for serious use, whether you’re working in the field, on duty, or off-grid. Like all Microtech knives, this Ultratech is proudly made in the USA and built to exceed expectations.
