The Microtech Ultratech ZBP (Zero Blade Play) embodies all of Microtech's recent achievements. 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 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.
