Microtech Scarab II GEN III Executive OTF Auto T/E Apocalyptic Standard Blade Merlot Handle AUMT117710APMR

The Microtech Scarab II GEN III Executive OTF Auto T/E Apocalyptic is engineered for those who want the biggest, most commanding out-the-front automatic knife Microtech offers, paired with refined execution and unmistakable presence. As the largest double-action OTF in the current lineup, the Scarab II GEN III delivers serious cutting authority while maintaining smooth, controlled operation. It’s a platform designed to push boundaries, blending hard-use performance with a level of finish that stands apart.

Measuring 9.7 inches overall and weighing 5.92 ounces, the Scarab II GEN III offers a substantial feel that inspires confidence the moment it’s in hand. The 3.95-inch tanto edge blade is the widest blade produced by Microtech, providing excellent strength at the tip and stability through demanding cuts. Finished in the brand’s signature apocalyptic treatment, the blade features a worn, non-reflective appearance that helps reduce glare and adds corrosion resistance while reinforcing its no-nonsense character. The T/E blade profile enhances piercing capability and durability, making it well suited for heavy utility and tactical applications.

The handle is contoured to promote comfort and control during extended use. Finished in a deep merlot color, it adds a distinctive visual contrast while maintaining a professional tone. Textured grip inserts are integrated into the handle to enhance traction, ensuring a secure hold in wet, dirty, or high-stress conditions. Every contour is intentional, designed to balance the knife’s large size with confident handling and reduced fatigue.

A defining feature of the Scarab II GEN III is its rear porting. This thoughtful design allows dirt, dust, and moisture to exit the knife more efficiently, helping maintain smooth action even when conditions aren’t ideal. Combined with Microtech’s refined internal engineering, the double-action OTF mechanism delivers consistent, authoritative deployment and retraction with each press of the actuator. The action feels deliberate and reliable, reinforcing trust when performance matters most.

The Scarab II GEN III bridges tactical capability and executive-level refinement. Its size and blade geometry provide commanding performance, while its ergonomics and smooth operation keep it controlled and predictable. Built with the precision and reliability that Microtech is known for, this Scarab II stands as a flagship automatic knife for those who want maximum capability paired with distinctive style.
