Microtech – a leading brand in pocket knives, especially double-action out the fronts, as well as side opening automatics – was founded in Vero Beach, Florida in 1994 and now runs operations out of Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Being a 100% US-made brand, Microtech prides itself on using high quality materials combined with high level craftsmanship and attention to detail in order to provide pocket knives that make lifelong impressions. There is a reason that Microtech knives is one of the highest selling OTF knife brands in the world, as their incredibly smooth signature double-action OTF mechanism, high-grade steel and handle materials, use of their own proprietary internals and hardware, and large selection of handle/blade color combos and blade styles come together to create a wide array of impressive pocket knives that will suit all of your slicing needs, while likely having a model that suits your style. Whether you’re in the market for your first ever OTF knife, or are looking to add to your collection, you absolutely cannot go wrong with getting yourself a new Microtech.

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 pretty 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.

Part of Microtechs “Stepside” Signature Series line, this model Ultratech has an improved handle, with milling, AKA “stepping” along both the face and clip sides of the handle chassis. This allows for improved grip and gives these guys a bit more texture than the standard smooth aluminum handle that is typical with most of Microtechs main-line model OTFs. For those who love their Ultratech, but need to be able to use it with gloves on, or want it to feel a bit less slippery, the Stepside line of knives that the 100% USA made company offers is the perfect fit. Us here at SRKT see the Stepped handles as one of the most practical main-line knife upgrades out there.

This specific Stepside Ultratech has a double edged dagger blade, stonewashed, made of Bohler M390 stainless steel. The hardware and tip-down pocket clip are the standard blasted, but the clip is of course a Signature Series style. The stepped 6061-T6 aluminum handle chassis is finished with a standard black.

This is an automatic out the front pocket knife with a roughly 3.3” blade and no safety.Please research and be aware of your local knife laws before purchasing and carrying a pocket knife. SRKT is an authorized dealer of Microtech products.
