SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Scarab II GEN III Executive OTF Auto T/E is built for users who want the biggest, most authoritative out-the-front automatic knife in the Microtech lineup, paired with refined execution and unmistakable style. As the largest double-action OTF currently offered, the Scarab II GEN III delivers commanding performance while maintaining smooth operation and controlled handling. This knife represents a bold evolution of the Scarab platform, designed to meet demanding expectations without compromise.
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 presence in hand. Its 3.95-inch tanto edge blade is the widest blade produced by Microtech, providing excellent tip strength and stability through hard cuts. The stonewash standard blade finish helps mask wear while reducing glare, making it a practical choice for real-world use. The T/E blade profile adds piercing power and durability, delivering consistent performance across a wide range of utility and tactical tasks.
The handle is contoured to promote comfort and control during extended use, allowing the knife to sit naturally in the hand despite its large size. Finished in a bold red, the handle adds striking visual contrast while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Textured grip inserts are integrated into the handle to enhance traction, ensuring a secure hold in wet, dirty, or high-stress conditions. Every surface is purpose-driven, designed to balance the knife’s size with confident handling and reduced fatigue.
One of the defining features of the Scarab II GEN III is its rear porting. This thoughtful design allows dust, dirt, and moisture to exit the knife more efficiently, helping maintain smooth, reliable action even when conditions aren’t ideal. Combined with Microtech’s refined internal engineering, the double-action OTF mechanism delivers strong, deliberate blade deployment and retraction with each press of the actuator. The action feels authoritative and consistent, reinforcing trust when reliability matters most.
The Scarab II GEN III bridges tactical capability with executive-level refinement. Its size and blade geometry provide serious cutting authority, 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 performance paired with standout design.
