Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP Bayonet OTF Knife OD Green Aluminum, Apocalyptic M390MK by Tony Marfione (1120-10APOD)

Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP Bayonet OD Green Aluminum, Apocalyptic M390MK by Tony Marfione – OTF automatic knife with Zero Blade Play™

The Microtech Ultratech Gen III ZBP 1120-10APOD is an automatic OTF knife featuring a Bayonet blade made of Böhler M390MK steel with an Apocalyptic finish and a 6061-T6 aluminum handle in OD Green. The model utilizes the Zero Blade Play™ Slide Lock and Dual-Fuel Drive Train™, combining the Ultratech’s signature slim profile with modern automatic mechanics.

The OD Green and Apocalyptic variant has a distinctly utilitarian, outdoor character. The push/pull thumb slider allows you to extend and retract the blade instantly, while the ambidextrous tip-down titanium clip makes it easy to adjust how you carry it. The knife maintains compact proportions suitable for everyday carry (EDC).

Böhler M390MK – Edge Retention and Corrosion Resistance

Böhler M390MK offers excellent edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. In an OTF folding knife, this translates to long-lasting edge performance during regular use. The flat grind promotes predictable blade guidance and efficient cutting of materials.

Bayonet – Ultratech’s signature geometry

The Bayonet profile is distinguished by its slender shape and centrally positioned tip. This geometry works well for making precise initial cuts while also giving the knife its distinctive appearance. The flat grind ensures practical cutting performance in everyday use.

Apocalyptic – a functional finish

The blade surface features the Apocalyptic finish, which gives it a matte, intentionally irregular texture. This look complements the OD Green camouflage color scheme well and helps minimize the visibility of minor signs of everyday wear.

OD Green 6061-T6 Aluminum

The handle is made of 6061-T6 aluminum in OD Green. The material provides rigidity while maintaining a moderate weight, and the slim design makes it easy to carry comfortably in a pocket. The camouflage color scheme emphasizes the utilitarian nature of this variant.

Zero Blade Play™ and Dual-Fuel Drive Train™

Zero Blade Play™ Slide Lock reduces perceptible blade play in the open position, while Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ ensures the smooth, automatic operation of the OTF mechanism. The push/pull thumb slider controls blade deployment and retraction, allowing for full one-handed operation.

Right/Left Titanium Clip

The model is equipped with a titanium clip that can be mounted on the right or left side in a tip-down configuration. This design enhances functionality and allows the user to customize how the knife is carried.
