Ultratech Gen III®
The Ultratech® Gen III is more than just a knife; it’s a legacy. Since its debut in 1999, the Ultratech® has been Microtech’s flagship model, setting the standard for OTF knives. The Gen III marks the apex of this evolution, integrating the latest Microtech technology.
Crafted from durable 6061-T6 aluminum, the Ultratech® Gen III measures 8.54" in total length, with a 3.55" blade. It features our patented Crud Kutter™ and Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ systems, along with our Zero Blade Play (ZBP) Mechanism.

Its balance of size, functionality, and advanced features made it one of the most talked-about knives at SHOT Show—a must-have for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Combat Troodon® LT
The Combat Troodon® LT draws inspiration from its cinematic counterpart, the Troodon® featured in John Wick II, while elevating its design and functionality to new heights. This knife is built for versatility, excelling in both everyday carry and demanding environments.
With a total length of 9.5” and a 4” blade, the Combat Troodon® LT boasts an impressive blade-to-handle ratio. Its newly designed accent handle is secured with T8 and T30 Torx screws, ensuring reliability even in the toughest conditions. Adding the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ and Crud Kutter™ systems ensure rapid deployment and easy maintenance, while the enhanced button design minimizes friction for a smoother user experience. This model also features a reversible pocket clip with a silicon carbide ball for secure carry, making it a standout in both form and function.
L-U.D.T.® Auto
First introduced in 1995 as the U.D.T.™, the L-U.D.T.® (Large-Underwater Demolition Team) has become one of Microtech’s most cherished automatic folders. The Gen III iteration brings modern advancements to this classic design, making it a favorite among service personnel and enthusiasts alike.
The L-U.D.T.® Gen III features a 6061-T6 aluminum handle, a blade crafted from premium Böhler M390MK® steel, and new 3M traction inserts for enhanced grip. This updated version also incorporates 24 silicon carbide ball bearings in its pivot system for unparalleled smoothness and reliability, alongside a titanium back spacer. With these innovations, the Gen III delivers cutting-edge performance and handling while honoring the legacy of this iconic design.
Available through our Service Personnel Program, the L-U.D.T.® has earned a prestigious reputation among the United States Armed Forces, Law Enforcement, and First Responders—a testament to its dependability and performance. Attendees at SHOT Show were eager to learn more about its storied history and modern advancements.
Mini Hera®
The Hera® Mini is a compact powerhouse, designed for those who value portability without sacrificing performance. As a scaled-down version of the Hera® II, this model retains the ergonomic contouring and innovative features that define its predecessor.
Measuring 6.9” in total length with a 2.90” blade and weighing just 1.9 oz, the Mini Hera® is perfect for purse or pocket carry. It incorporates the Dual-Fuel Drive Train™ and Crud Kutter™ systems for reliable performance, alongside a versatile pocket clip secured with a T15 Torx screw and a glass breaker for added utility.
