The Microtech Ultratech is a prime example of precision craftsmanship and cutting-edge design in the world of out-the-front (OTF) automatic knives. This model, featuring a sleek coyote camo finish, combines durability and functionality in a compact, easy-to-carry package. At its core is a 3.35-inch premium steel drop point blade, known for its strength and ability to maintain a sharp edge. The blade is finished with a protective coating that not only enhances its durability but also gives it a striking appearance that complements the camo-themed design.
The Ultratech's blade deploys effortlessly via an automatic thumb slide mechanism, providing quick and reliable access with a simple push. This mechanism also securely locks the blade in place, ensuring safe and effective use during a variety of cutting tasks. The blade's single-edge design is versatile, making it ideal for everyday carry and tactical applications alike. With a thickness of .12 inches, the blade strikes a perfect balance between strength and precision, allowing for detailed work as well as more robust cutting.
The handle of the Ultratech is crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, a material celebrated for its lightweight yet incredibly durable properties. The handle's coyote camo coating not only adds to the knife's rugged aesthetic but also provides an extra layer of protection against the elements, making it a reliable companion in both urban and wilderness environments. At 5.01 inches when closed, the Ultratech is compact enough for discreet pocket carry, yet it extends to a full 8.36 inches when deployed, offering a substantial grip and reach.
An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip ensures versatile carrying options, allowing the Ultratech to be comfortably and securely clipped to a pocket or belt. The clip's tip-down design facilitates easy and quick deployment, catering to both left and right-handed users. Additionally, the knife is equipped with a glass breaker, a practical feature that adds to its utility in emergency situations, such as breaking a car window to escape or assist others in distress.
Weighing in at just 3.5 ounces, the Ultratech strikes an ideal balance between lightweight portability and robust construction. This balance makes it an excellent choice for those who require a dependable tool without the burden of additional weight. The knife's overall design and build quality reflect a commitment to excellence, evident in every detail from the precision-machined components to the smooth operation of its OTF mechanism.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech Ultratech stands as a high-quality option in the realm of automatic knives. Its combination of a premium steel blade, durable aluminum handle, and practical features such as the glass breaker and ambidextrous clip make it a versatile tool for a wide range of applications. Whether used for everyday tasks or more demanding situations, the Ultratech's superior design and performance make it a standout choice for knife enthusiasts and professionals alike.
