The Microtech Scarab II Gen III Executive Tanto Full Serrated Black Tactical is a no-compromise out-the-front automatic designed for those who demand maximum cutting performance, unwavering reliability, and professional-grade construction. Built as one of Microtech's most robust OTF platforms, the Scarab II has earned a reputation among military personnel, first responders, and serious knife enthusiasts for its exceptional durability and powerful deployment system. The Gen III evolution further refines this proven design, delivering smoother operation and enhanced ergonomics while maintaining the rugged character that made the Scarab name legendary.
At the center of this hard-use automatic is a 3.95-inch M390MK stainless steel tanto blade. This premium steel is known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, making it an ideal choice for users who rely on their gear every day. The tanto blade profile features a reinforced tip that excels at piercing tasks and demanding utility work while maintaining impressive structural strength. Finished in a non-reflective black coating, the blade offers a tactical appearance while reducing glare in bright environments. The full serrated edge takes cutting capability to another level, providing aggressive bite and exceptional performance when slicing through rope, webbing, straps, and other tough fibrous materials.
Deployment is fast and dependable thanks to Microtech's signature thumb slide mechanism. The Gen III drive system delivers a refined action with positive engagement and smooth operation. Whether deploying or retracting the blade, the mechanism provides the confidence and reliability users expect from a premium automatic knife. Designed for real-world use, the controls remain intuitive and easy to operate even under demanding conditions.
The black aluminum handle perfectly complements the tactical nature of the knife. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, the handle is precision-machined to provide a secure grip and excellent control. Its ergonomic design helps reduce fatigue during extended use while maintaining a slim profile for comfortable carry. The all-black configuration creates a clean, professional appearance that looks equally at home on duty gear or in an everyday carry rotation. A sturdy tip-down pocket clip keeps the knife secure and readily accessible when needed.
Measuring 9.7 inches overall and weighing 5.92 ounces, the Scarab II Gen III offers substantial cutting capability and reach without becoming unwieldy. Its size and balance inspire confidence during hard-use tasks while remaining practical enough for daily carry.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech Scarab II Gen III reflects the company's commitment to American craftsmanship, premium materials, and precision manufacturing. Every detail is engineered to deliver dependable performance, ensuring this knife is ready whenever the mission demands it.
