Ultratech Gen III ZBP – Microtech’s Flagship OTF, Reinvented

The Ultratech Gen III ZBP represents the pinnacle of Microtech’s out-the-front automatic knife design. With over two decades of refinement, this latest iteration introduces cutting-edge features that enhance performance, durability, and user experience.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

This Ultratech stands out with its Zero Blade Play (ZBP) technology, ensuring a rock-solid lockup with no movement when deployed. The Dual Fuel Drivetrain and Crud Kutter systems contribute to smoother operation and reduced maintenance.

Engineered for Excellence

At the heart of the Ultratech Gen III is a 3.55” tanto blade crafted from Bohler M390MK steel, known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The stonewashed finish adds a rugged aesthetic while minimizing glare. The dual-action automatic mechanism deploys and retracts with the newly engineered X-button thumb slide, designed for smoother, more effortless operation.

The handle is constructed from black anodized 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering a balance of lightweight durability and a secure grip. Secured with upgraded Torx screws, the frame is built for long-term resilience in any environment. The ambidextrous titanium pocket clip, equipped with a ceramic ball, ensures a firm yet smooth attachment to gear or pockets, while the integrated lanyard hole provides additional carrying options. A redesigned, low-profile glass breaker offers emergency utility without adding unnecessary bulk.
