The Microtech Scarab II GEN III brings substantial size, serious capability, and refined OTF engineering to a platform built for demanding users. As the largest double-action out-the-front knife in Microtech's current offering, the Scarab II delivers an imposing presence while maintaining the thoughtful ergonomics and functionality you'd expect from a premium Microtech automatic. Finished with an OD green handle and stonewashed double-edge blade, this Scarab II has a rugged, utilitarian look that's ready for hard use.
The 3.95-inch blade is the widest blade currently offered in Microtech's lineup, giving the Scarab II an impressive cutting platform. Its stonewashed finish provides a rugged, work-ready appearance while helping conceal the marks that naturally come with regular use. The double-edge configuration adds versatility and gives the blade its unmistakable Scarab II profile.
The contoured handle is designed to provide a comfortable, secure grip, while textured inserts add additional traction for improved control. The OD green finish reinforces the knife's rugged, field-ready character and gives this substantial automatic a classic tactical appearance. Despite its larger dimensions, the carefully shaped handle helps the Scarab II remain comfortable and controllable in hand.
The GEN III also introduces rear porting, a thoughtful feature designed to make the knife easier to operate under difficult conditions. By providing additional access around the rear of the mechanism, the porting helps facilitate operation when debris, gloves, or other circumstances could make conventional handling more challenging. It's a practical design detail that reflects Microtech's focus on real-world performance.
At 9.7 inches overall and 5.92 ounces, the Scarab II GEN III is unmistakably substantial. Its larger footprint gives it a commanding feel while providing plenty of handle for a confident grip. The combination of a broad 3.95-inch blade and robust construction makes this OTF particularly appealing to users who want more presence and capability from their automatic.
The Scarab II GEN III isn't designed to disappear in your pocket. It's designed to deliver maximum OTF presence in a refined, purpose-built package. From its broad stonewashed blade and textured inserts to its contoured OD green handle and rear porting, every element reinforces its rugged character.
For collectors, tactical enthusiasts, and serious EDC users who prefer a larger OTF, the Microtech Scarab II GEN III offers an impressive combination of size, performance, and modern design. It's a substantial automatic built to stand out and built to perform.
