And like the densely packed gunpowder in a bullet casing fires a round thousands of feet, the densely packed features in this knife propel the OTF world into the future. Let's get right to the star of the show: the Ultratech EX-ZBP has zero blade play.

Those familiar with OTFs know how rare that is on double-action models; it's rare because it's so difficult to implement. But Microtech has done a fantastic job with their Zero Stop mechanism, which is user-serviceable, not bulky, and reliable.

It functions by wedging the blade against the chassis via a cone-like component that has been precision-tuned to the exact right position.

Microtech has been making many upgrades to its OTFs in recent months, and all of those upgrades made it into the Gen 3 Ultratech: The Dual Fuel Drivetrain (a double spring system) reduces the force required to push the X-Button slide.

The Crud Cutter (machined grooves under the slide) reduces friction and breaks down lint and grit for consistently smooth operation. Microtech's proprietary Bohler M390MK blade steel, which boasts high carbon content for improved edge retention.

The new Ultratech further distinguishes itself from its predecessor with improved gimping, a slightly wider handle, a slightly longer and wider blade, a lower-profile glass breaker that's integrated into the handle, a wider thumb slide, a titanium pocket clip with a silica carbide ball, and Torx hardware.
