Microtech Ultratech GEN III ZBP OTF Auto Red Handle S-E Black Standard Drop Point AUMT11211RD

The Microtech Ultratech GEN III ZBP OTF Automatic with Red Handle and Black Standard Drop Point blade represents the pinnacle of Microtech’s out-the-front knife design. Since 1999, the Ultratech has been a flagship in the automatic knife market, celebrated for its precision, reliability, and tactical versatility. This latest Gen III model builds on that legacy, combining high-quality materials, advanced engineering, and field-proven features into a compact, carry-ready package that performs in even the most demanding situations.

Measuring 8.54 inches overall with a 3.55-inch blade, the Ultratech GEN III is perfectly balanced for both reach and control. The blade is crafted from Böhler M390MK stainless steel, renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Its single-edge drop point profile offers a strong, controllable tip and a broad cutting surface, making it ideal for precision cutting, piercing, and general utility tasks. The black coating adds durability and a sleek tactical appearance, enhancing the knife’s performance in varied environments.

The handle is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and anodized in vibrant red, creating a lightweight yet durable frame with a striking, recognizable aesthetic. At 3.61 ounces, the knife feels substantial in hand without being cumbersome, and its ergonomic design ensures a secure and comfortable grip even during extended use. Microtech’s Zero Blade Play (ZBP) technology virtually eliminates side-to-side blade movement, providing rock-solid lockup and confidence with every deployment. The dual-action OTF mechanism allows smooth, rapid blade deployment and retraction via a front-mounted thumb slide, ensuring the knife is always ready when it’s needed.

Additional features include a reinforced glass breaker tip for emergencies, a reversible titanium pocket clip with a ceramic ball for reliable carry, and a lanyard hole for added versatility. The integrated Crud Kutter™ system channels debris away from the mechanism, maintaining smooth operation, while the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ ensures consistent action under all conditions. Proudly made in the USA, the Ultratech GEN III ZBP blends craftsmanship, durability, and tactical precision into a knife built for serious users and collectors alike.
