Step into the future of tactical Out-The-Front (OTF) knives with the Microtech Ultratech ZBP T/E Shadow. Representing the pinnacle of evolution for Microtech’s flagship model since its debut in 1999, the Gen III Ultratech combines legendary design with groundbreaking modern innovations. Featuring a stealthy, non-reflective DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) finish across the meticulously ground Tanto blade and all hardware, this "Shadow" edition offers uncompromising durability and an aggressive, low-profile aesthetic perfectly suited for covert operations and high-end everyday carry.

Crafted in the USA from a rugged black 6061-T6 aluminum chassis and premium M390MK steel, the Ultratech Gen III introduces game-changing proprietary technology. It is equipped with Microtech's new Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ for exceptionally smooth dual-action deployment, the Crud Kutter™ to aggressively clear out debris, and Zero Blade Play (ZBP) technology for vault-like lockup once deployed. Measuring 8.55 inches overall and fortified with user-friendly Torx screws and an upgraded glass breaker, this OTF is the ultimate expression of tactical reliability, precision engineering, and premium performance.
