Design and Functionality
Microtech's Ultratech is renowned for its design, particularly in this version with a contoured handle. This design promotes increased comfort, making it more user-friendly during extended use compared to the "Tri-Grip" variation. The smooth, contoured handle is less abrasive on the hands and pockets, enhancing the overall user experience without compromising on performance.
Mechanism and Operation
The Ultratech knife employs a double-action out-the-front (OTF) mechanism. This means the blade is deployed and retracted through a thumb slide mechanism, allowing for quick and efficient operation. The double-action feature ensures that the knife is ready for action with just a flick of the thumb.
Setting the Standard
Microtech's Ultratech has set a high standard for OTF knives. Its combination of innovative design, reliable mechanism, and high-quality materials make it a benchmark for other knives in its category. Whether for everyday carry or specialized use, the Ultratech continues to be a top choice for those seeking a dependable automatic knife.
