Microtech Scarab II Gen III OTF Automatic Knife Apocalyptic T/E Tan AUMT127910APTA

The Microtech Scarab II Gen III OTF Automatic is built for serious performance, combining bold design with the powerful action Microtech is known for. Large, rugged, and engineered with precision, the Scarab II has earned a reputation as one of the toughest out-the-front automatics in Microtech’s lineup. This latest generation refines the platform with upgraded internals and thoughtful improvements that enhance both reliability and everyday usability.

The knife carries a 3.9-inch tanto blade crafted from premium steel and finished in Microtech’s distinctive Apocalyptic finish. This rugged, battle-worn look helps disguise wear while giving the blade a uniquely aggressive character. The tanto profile offers exceptional piercing strength along with a reinforced tip, making it well suited for demanding cutting tasks while still providing plenty of slicing capability.

Deployment is handled by a smooth, dependable thumb slide that drives the blade forward with authority through Microtech’s upgraded Dual Fuel Drive system. The mechanism delivers rapid, consistent blade action while maintaining the strength required for a large OTF platform. Once deployed, the blade locks firmly in place, giving you confidence when tackling tough jobs.

The Gen III Scarab II includes several thoughtful enhancements designed to improve long-term performance. The thumb slide features Microtech’s Crud Kutter grooves, helping prevent lint and debris from interfering with operation during pocket carry. The stainless steel ambidextrous pocket clip now incorporates a ceramic thumb ball that reduces friction against the pocket seam, helping extend the life of your pocket. Upgraded Torx hardware adds durability and simplifies maintenance.

The handle is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum with a distinctive grenade-pattern texture that offers excellent grip and control. Its anodized tan finish complements the rugged blade while maintaining the knife’s hard-use character. A glass breaker at the base of the handle adds emergency capability, and the ambidextrous pocket clip allows comfortable carry for either hand.

Measuring 5.7 inches closed and weighing 5.62 ounces, the Scarab II provides substantial strength while remaining practical for daily carry. Proudly made in the USA, it reflects Microtech’s commitment to precision machining and uncompromising quality.
