Microtech Ultratech D/E OTF Auto 122-13BL - Bronze 3.32" Bohler M390 Double-Edged Dagger Blade – Blue Mil-Spec Hard Coated 6061-T6 Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Handle Chassis – Bronzed Tip-Down Pocket Clip & Hardware – Thumb Slide Double-Action Out the Front Automatic | Made in USA

Easily the go-to in the out-the-front pocket knife world, the Microtech Ultratech features incredible action, the highest-grade materials on the market, and Microtechs proprietary hardware to bring together a piece of art that will stand the test of time and prove to be an uber-reliable everyday carry knife. Whether you’re looking for a beater tool, a piece to add to your safe, or just something to fidget with throughout the day, the Ultratech is top-of-the-line pocket knife that checks all of the boxes on the EDC checklist.

Since 1999, Microtech has been refining and perfecting the Ultratech, and nowadays they have some of the best and most reliable OTF action, being easy to both deploy and retract in the blink of an eye. If you’re the type of person that carries and uses a knife on a daily basis, the Ultratech may be perfect, as it can go from closed up in your pocket to open and ready to use in an instant. With a built in safety mechanism, which stops the blade from firing into/through anything, and internal designs that allow the firing spring to stay in a rested and non-tense position in both open and closed positions, the Ultratech is surprisingly safe and is made to last you a lifetime and more. Be prepared to find yourself carrying the Ultratech more than you intended, as they bridge the gap between collectability and practicality.

Standard Ultratechs come equipped with a 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum handle chassis, extremely lightweight and fairly basic-shaped, while still having slight contouring so it sits comfortably in your hand. Six total sets of jimping on both spine sides of the handle add to the already superb grippability of the knife, and give you more leverage over the knife while completing your cutting tasks. This is furthered by the aggressively textured thumb slide, another spot that your thumb will naturally find itself during use.

With multiple blade shape options, the Ultratech comes in around 8.35” in total length with a roughly 3.3” blade, plus/minus a slight bit depending on blade style. Weighing in at 3.4 oz., you’ll be shocked at the balance this knife boasts in both open and closed positions. Lastly, the Microtech Ultratechs come outfitted with a strong tip-down stainless steel pocket clip that is sure to keep your knife secured to your pocket in nearly any circumstance. A ball-tip glass breaker on the butt gives you extra peace of mind when considering emergency situations. We here at SRKT recommend the Ultratech to anybody looking for their first OTF knife, anyone looking to add to their extensive collection, and everybody in between. You can’t get much better.

This model of the Ultratech is stunning. At first, you may think its just a blue-handled Microtech, but when the blade is deployed, and you take a closer look at the pocket clip and hardware, you’ll realize that everything has been given a bronze finish. The double-edged dagger blade, made with M390 stainless steel, is bronzed and blends with the blue aluminum handle extremely well. The hardware and pocket clip accent this while the knife is closed up.
