The Microtech Ultratech is a remarkable out-the-front automatic knife, combining cutting-edge technology with premium craftsmanship. This knife features a 3.35" blade crafted from high-quality steel, known for its durability and excellent edge retention. The blade sports a striking bronze apocalyptic finish, adding a unique aesthetic appeal while providing a layer of corrosion resistance. The double-edged dagger design enhances its versatility, making it suitable for a range of cutting tasks, from precise slicing to robust piercing. With a blade thickness of .12", this knife achieves a perfect balance between strength and agility.
One of the standout features of the Ultratech is its automatic thumb slide mechanism. This intuitive design allows for swift deployment of the blade, locking securely in place with a satisfying click. The slide also facilitates easy retraction, ensuring the blade is safely stowed when not in use. This OTF (out-the-front) mechanism is not only quick and reliable but also adds a layer of safety by keeping the blade completely enclosed within the handle when retracted.
The handle of the Ultratech is constructed from anodized red 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, renowned for its lightweight yet robust properties. This material provides excellent durability and resistance to wear, ensuring the knife can withstand the rigors of daily use. The anodized finish not only enhances the handle's appearance but also offers additional protection against corrosion. The handle's ergonomic design, coupled with its length of 5.01" when closed, provides a comfortable and secure grip, making it easy to handle and operate with precision.
For those who carry their knives daily, the Ultratech offers an ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip. This clip is designed for tip-down carry, allowing for convenient access and secure attachment to pockets or gear. Additionally, the knife features a glass breaker at the base of the handle, a practical tool in emergency situations, capable of breaking windows or glass with ease.
The overall length of the Ultratech, when fully extended, measures 8.36", providing ample reach while maintaining a compact profile. Weighing in at just 3.5 ounces, this knife is lightweight enough for comfortable everyday carry without sacrificing functionality or strength. Every detail of the Ultratech reflects Microtech's commitment to quality, from the precise machining of the blade to the meticulous construction of the handle.
