SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Scarab II GEN III Executive OTF Auto T/E Apocalyptic is engineered for users who demand maximum size, strength, and consistency from an out-the-front automatic knife. As the largest double-action OTF in Microtech’s current lineup, the Scarab II GEN III is built to deliver commanding cutting capability while maintaining refined control and smooth operation. It represents a bold evolution of a proven platform, merging imposing presence with precision engineering.
With an overall length of 9.7 inches and a weight of 5.92 ounces, the Scarab II GEN III offers a substantial, confidence-inspiring feel in hand. Its 3.95-inch tanto edge blade is the widest blade Microtech produces, giving it exceptional strength at the tip and outstanding cutting stability through demanding materials. Finished in Microtech’s apocalyptic treatment, the blade carries a worn, non-reflective appearance that helps reduce glare while enhancing corrosion resistance. The T/E profile adds durability and piercing power, making it a strong choice for heavy utility and tactical applications alike.
The black handle is contoured to fit naturally in the hand, promoting comfort during extended use while maintaining a secure grip. Integrated textured inserts enhance traction in wet, dirty, or high-stress conditions, ensuring reliable control when precision matters. The handle’s clean, professional appearance pairs perfectly with the apocalyptic blade finish, creating a balanced look that’s aggressive without being overstated.
A standout feature of the Scarab II GEN III is its rear porting design. This thoughtful addition allows debris, dust, and moisture to exit the knife more efficiently, helping preserve smooth action even when conditions aren’t ideal. Combined with Microtech’s refined internal mechanics, the double-action OTF system delivers strong, consistent blade deployment and retraction with each press of the actuator. The result is dependable performance you can trust when hesitation isn’t an option.
The Scarab II GEN III bridges the gap between tactical performance and executive-level execution. Its size and blade geometry provide serious cutting authority, while its ergonomic design and smooth action keep it controlled and user-friendly. Built with the precision, durability, and reliability that Microtech is known for, this Scarab II stands as a flagship OTF for those who want the biggest and most capable automatic knife Microtech offers.
