Microtech Ultratech ZBP: The Future of OTF Knives
Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP (MCT112210) 3.50" Bohler M390MK Stonewash Double Edge Dagger Plain Blade, Black Anodized Aluminum Handle
The Microtech Ultratech ZBP (Zero Blade Play) is a testament to Microtech's innovative spirit and engineering prowess. This knife is a marvel in the world of out-the-front (OTF) knives, packed with features that set new standards in the industry.
Revolutionary Zero Blade Play
At the heart of the Ultratech ZBP is its groundbreaking zero blade play—a feat rarely achieved in double-action OTFs due to its complexity. Microtech has accomplished this with their ingenious Zero Stop mechanism, which is both user-serviceable and reliable without adding bulk. This mechanism utilizes a cone-like component to precisely wedge the blade against the chassis, ensuring stability and smooth operation.
Cutting-Edge Features and Upgrades
Microtech has been at the forefront of innovation, and the Gen 3 Ultratech incorporates all their latest advancements:
-
Dual Fuel Drivetrain: This double spring system minimizes the effort needed to operate the X-Button slide, enhancing user experience.
-
Crud Cutter: Machined grooves beneath the slide diminish friction and effectively break down lint and grit, ensuring seamless functionality.
-
Bohler M390MK Blade Steel: Known for its high carbon content, this proprietary steel offers superior edge retention, making it a perfect choice for the Ultratech.
Design Enhancements
The new Ultratech distinguishes itself with several design improvements:
-
Improved Gimping: Offers better grip and control.
-
Enhanced Handle and Blade Dimensions: A slightly wider handle and a longer, wider blade provide a more robust feel.
-
Integrated Glass Breaker: The lower-profile glass breaker is now seamlessly integrated into the handle.
-
Wider Thumb Slide: Facilitates easier operation.
-
Titanium Pocket Clip: Features a silica carbide ball for added durability and functionality.
-
Reversible Pocket Clip: Accommodates left-handed users with ease, thanks to a lanyard hole through the large base screw.
The Microtech Ultratech ZBP is a remarkable advancement in OTF knife technology. With its zero blade play and host of innovative features, it pushes the boundaries of what an OTF knife can achieve. Whether you're a collector, enthusiast, or professional, the Ultratech ZBP stands out as a premier choice that embodies the future of knife craftsmanship.
