Microtech Ultratech ZBP D/E Natural Clear Partial Serrated AUMT11222NC

The Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP D/E Black Standard Natural Clear stands as a refined evolution of Microtech’s flagship out-the-front automatic knife. Engineered with precision and built for performance, this Gen III model delivers rugged reliability with modern upgrades that elevate it above previous generations. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a demanding professional, this knife is built to exceed expectations in the field or in everyday use.

Measuring 8.54 inches overall and weighing just 3.61 ounces, the Ultratech Gen III strikes the perfect balance between strength and portability. The 3.55-inch dagger-style blade is made from premium M390MK stainless steel—known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Finished in a black coating and featuring a partially serrated edge, it’s ready for precise cuts and tougher tasks alike. The dual-action thumb slide allows smooth, rapid deployment and retraction of the blade with one hand, making it as functional as it is fast.

This model is outfitted with a natural clear 6061-T6 aluminum handle, a striking and uncommon finish that reveals the raw character of the metal. The lightweight yet durable handle is contoured for a secure grip, and the addition of a black tip-down pocket clip offers secure carry without sacrificing style. At the base, you'll find an enhanced glass breaker—perfect for emergency situations—integrated cleanly into the handle design.

What sets the Gen III apart is Microtech’s inclusion of their proprietary Crud Kutter™, Zero Blade Play technology, and Dual-Fuel Drive Train™. These innovations ensure a rock-solid lockup, ultra-smooth action, and a cleaner, more reliable mechanism over time. The knife is assembled with Torx screws for serviceability and comes with the rugged dependability that Microtech has earned a reputation for.

Proudly made in the USA, the Ultratech Gen III reflects the brand’s commitment to American craftsmanship, cutting-edge design, and no-compromise build quality. Whether it's part of your EDC rotation or reserved for critical use, this knife is built to last and ready for anything. Order it today from SMKW!
