SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Combat Troodon GEN III OTF Auto Bowie is engineered for professionals who demand uncompromising performance from their everyday duty gear. Since its introduction, the Combat Troodon has earned a loyal following among law enforcement, United States armed forces, and first responder personnel, and the GEN III redesign reinforces that legacy with meaningful upgrades focused on reliability, control, and ease of use. This is Microtech’s most proven hard-use OTF platform, refined to meet the realities of modern duty carry.
At the core of the GEN III Combat Troodon is the new dual fuel drivetrain system. This advanced internal mechanism delivers smoother, more consistent blade deployment while reducing the effort required to actuate the knife under stress. Whether conditions are clean or compromised by dirt, dust, or debris, the action remains decisive and dependable. The redesigned button pocket further enhances performance by minimizing friction and actively displacing debris, helping maintain consistent operation while reducing the need for frequent cleaning. User-friendly disassembly allows for straightforward maintenance when it’s needed, keeping the knife mission-capable with minimal downtime.
The 4-inch Bowie-style blade is crafted from Bohler M390MK, a premium steel chosen for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The Bowie profile offers a long, powerful cutting edge with excellent piercing capability, making it versatile across a wide range of utility and defensive tasks. Finished in a durable Cerakote OD green, the blade gains added corrosion protection and a subdued, non-reflective appearance well suited for professional environments.
The handle is equally purposeful. Finished in matching OD green Cerakote, the 5.5-inch handle features precision-machined jimping and grooves that provide a secure, confident grip even in wet or adverse conditions. At 9.5 inches overall, the Combat Troodon offers excellent reach and control without feeling unwieldy, and at just 4.95 ounces it carries comfortably throughout long shifts.
A newly designed titanium pocket clip with a ceramic detent ensures secure retention and smooth access, and its reversible configuration accommodates different carry preferences. Built with the reliability Microtech is known for, the Combat Troodon GEN III Bowie stands as a benchmark for heavy-duty OTF automatic knives and remains a trusted choice for serious duty use.
