Microtech 123-3T Tactical Tanto Ultratech

The Microtech 123-3T Tactical Tanto Ultratech features a tanto blade that has a fully serrated edge. The black finished blade is either Elmax, Bohler M390, or Carpenter CTS-204P steel. The black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle features a black finish pocket clip, glass breaker, and hardware. Microtech equipped this Ultratech D/A OTF knife with a smooth, contoured handle (chassis) design that promotes increased comfort during use. This updated model provides the same dimensions, hardware, and durability offered in the “Tri-Grip” models, but it is easier on the hands, and pants pockets. Note: Current models can have either an Elmax, Bohler M390, or a Carpenter CTS-204P steel blade.

Carpenter CTS-204P Steel: CTS-204P is made by the USA-based Carpenter Technology Corporation. The unique combination of wear resistance, toughness, polish ability and corrosion resistance makes CTS 204P an excellent choice for knife blades. CTS-204P fine grained alloy is a popular choice for high end folders and small fixed blades with a working hardness up to 62HRC. It exhibits excellent performance with both, coarse and high polished edges.

Bohler M390 Steel: Bohler M390 is widely revered as being one of the best all-around knife steels, which has led top companies, and makers to widely utilize it in higher end knives. M390 exhibits excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and high level toughness.

Elmax Steel: Produced by Bohler-Uddenholm, ELMAX steel has high wear resistance, high compressive strength, superior corrosion resistance, and a very good dimensional stability, or the ability to retain its size and form even after taking abuse. Although high wear and corrosion resistance are typically hard to find together in a knife blade, this steel’s powder-metallurgy based production allows for its imperviousness to wear, and corrosion.
