Microtech Ultratech OTF Automatic Knife D/E 3.4" M390 Black 122-1

First off let me say that the ultratech is a great knife! The action of the blade is very smooth, both when deploying and retracting. It does not feel like the knife is going to shoot out of your hand like a missile... The ergonomics of the handle may seem plain but the knife holds very well in your palm, weather your right handed or a lefty. From the factory the blade itself is very sharp (especially the tip) so be careful. On the belt clip it has the serial number for the knife on the top and lower down it has the manufacture date (month/year). When your deploy or retract the knife is has that 'snap' sound letting you know the locking mechanism is solid, which is what you would expect in a higher end quality knife. The price tag on this knife in particular was half of my reason for buying it, it is cheaper than other microtech knife variants but the quality is there regardless, no need to worry about that! Last but not least the people at Eknives.com are great! I was expecting my knife to be sent with USPS ground, turns out they sent it UPS 2-day air which was an unexpected yet nice surprise. Plus they even included a band aid in the packaging in case I cut myself, how thoughtful! Great knife, great service, no buyers remorse!

I just bought one of these knives a few days ago from my local dealer. I have owned several of the Ultratech models over the years and cannot say enough about how great of a knife they are! I have been collecting Microtech knives since 2001 and can say firsthand that the quality of every one of these knives is second to none! Microtech is quickly approaching the 100,000 serial number mark on the Ultratech model which in itself says something. They have made more and sold more of this model over any other model they have ever put out not to mention it’s there most popular OTF. And in my honest opinion I think a lot of the reason for this is the price alone. This model is very modestly priced in comparison to most all their other models they offer. I bought my very first Ultratech back in 2001 and it had the exact same blade style as this current one being the D/E black blade but back then they cost $500.00 so the price has dropped significantly since those days for this particular model. This hasn’t been the case on other models like – The Halo, Nemesis, Troodon, Combat Troodon, Cypher, and so on. The fit and finish on these knives are second to none with an extremely smooth action and very tight lock up! I can’t say enough about the fine craftsmanship that shows in each and every one of them!! Also Microtech offers a lifetime guarantee on all their knives which actually I had to use once many years ago. The mainspring on one of my Ultratechs back then broke and so I sent it back to them and they fixed it with no issues whatsoever and the total turnaround time was around 9-10 days. I couldn’t ask for any better service than that. So needless to say I am a very firm believer in the Microtech brand and would highly recommend any Microtech knife to anyone interested in buying a high quality piece of precision craftsmanship that will serve them long and well!!
