The Microtech Combat Troodon GEN III OTF Auto Bowie Standard is purpose-built for professionals who rely on their equipment in high-pressure environments. Since its inception, the Combat Troodon has been a trusted tool among law enforcement, United States armed forces, and first responder service personnel, and the GEN III evolution pushes that legacy forward. This is Microtech’s most recognized hard-use OTF platform, redesigned to deliver improved performance, smoother operation, and enhanced long-term reliability without sacrificing the strength it’s known for.
At the heart of the GEN III Combat Troodon is the new dual fuel drivetrain system. This refined internal mechanism delivers effortless blade deployment and retraction, even when conditions aren’t ideal. Actuation feels smoother and more controlled, reducing user fatigue while maintaining the authoritative action expected from a duty-grade automatic knife. The upgraded button pocket design minimizes internal friction and actively displaces debris, helping keep the knife running consistently and cutting down on frequent cleaning. When maintenance is required, the user-friendly disassembly makes servicing straightforward and efficient.
The 4-inch Bowie-style blade is crafted from Bohler M390MK, a premium blade steel chosen for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall toughness. The Bowie profile offers a long cutting edge with excellent penetration and versatility, making it well suited for a wide range of utility and tactical tasks. Finished in a durable Cerakote tan, the blade gains added protection from the elements while maintaining a subdued, professional appearance that integrates seamlessly into duty gear.
The 5.5-inch handle is finished in matching Cerakote tan and features precision-machined jimping and grooves that provide a secure, confident grip in wet or adverse conditions. At 9.5 inches overall, the Combat Troodon balances reach and control without feeling oversized, and at just 4.95 ounces it carries comfortably throughout extended use. The redesigned titanium pocket clip with a ceramic detent ensures secure retention and smooth accessibility, and its reversible design supports multiple carry preferences.
Built with the legendary reliability Microtech is known for, the Combat Troodon GEN III Bowie remains a benchmark for heavy-duty OTF automatic knives and a trusted choice for serious duty carry, available at SMKW.
