The Microtech Combat Troodon OTF Automatic Gen III stands among the largest and most formidable out-the-front knives available today. Built for serious performance, it combines Microtech’s precision engineering with aggressive styling and upgraded internal mechanics that push automatic knife design forward. This powerhouse delivers the kind of reliability and speed that professionals and collectors have come to expect from one of America’s premier knife makers.
The 3.81" Hellhound blade is crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK stainless steel. Developed in partnership with engineers at Böhler, this exclusive steel improves upon the already highly regarded M390 formula by enhancing edge retention and corrosion resistance while maintaining outstanding toughness. The blade’s rugged stonewash finish reduces glare and helps conceal signs of hard use, while the distinctive Hellhound profile delivers excellent piercing power and cutting performance.
Deployment is lightning fast thanks to Microtech’s advanced Dual Fuel Drive system. The out-the-front automatic mechanism fires with authority using a thumb slide that also securely retracts and locks the blade. This Gen III model includes Krud Kutter grooves on the thumb slide, designed to help prevent pocket lint and debris from interfering with operation.
The anodized black aircraft-grade aluminum handle provides exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. Upgraded Torx hardware increases durability, while a stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip features a ceramic thumb ball that reduces friction and helps protect the edge of your pocket. A glass breaker and integrated lanyard hole add further practicality for everyday carry or emergency use.
Measuring 9.5" overall when open and weighing 5.43 ounces, the Combat Troodon is a commanding presence built for serious cutting performance. Each knife is proudly made in the USA with the precision craftsmanship Microtech is known for.
