The Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP 1123-12AP delivers the legendary Ultratech OTF platform with Microtech’s advanced Zero Blade Play (ZBP) design. Built for dependable performance and precision handling, this automatic OTF knife features a 3.5-inch M390 tanto blade with an Apocalyptic Stonewash finish and serrated edge, giving it a rugged, distinctive appearance while maintaining the premium cutting performance expected from Microtech.
The M390 blade steel offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability. Its aggressive tanto profile provides a strong reinforced tip and versatile cutting geometry, while the serrated edge adds enhanced performance on fibrous and abrasive materials. The Apocalyptic Stonewash finish gives the blade a weathered, non-reflective aesthetic that complements the tactical character of the Ultratech.
As part of the Gen III ZBP generation, this Ultratech incorporates Microtech's updated design intended to minimize blade movement when deployed. The double-action OTF mechanism allows the blade to deploy and retract using the integrated thumb slider, providing fast, convenient one-handed operation. Microtech also highlights improved serviceability and a user-friendly crud-cutter mechanism on the Gen III platform.
