Microtech Scarab II Gen III Tanto Black PS Natural Clear Aluminum AUMT12793NC

The Microtech Scarab II Gen III Tanto Black PS is a premium out-the-front automatic built for operators, collectors, and serious users who demand precision, reliability, and strength. Proudly made in the USA, this knife reflects Microtech's uncompromising commitment to quality and tactical performance. Every detail is engineered to withstand real-world use, with the craftsmanship and refinement you'd expect from one of the most respected names in the industry.

At the core is a 3.95-inch tanto blade made from M390MK steel—Microtech’s custom variation of Bohler’s M390 super steel—offering elite edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The blade features a tactical black finish with a partially serrated edge, giving you aggressive cutting performance for rope, cord, and hard materials while retaining a razor-sharp plain edge for clean slicing. The tanto profile provides a reinforced tip for maximum penetration and strength, ideal for piercing tasks and rugged utility use.

The dual-action thumb slide mechanism offers smooth, lightning-fast deployment and retraction with rock-solid lockup. Built for reliability under stress, the Scarab II’s action is responsive, controlled, and engineered for high-speed, high-stakes environments.

The handle is constructed from natural clear anodized aluminum in a gray tone, paired with grippy 3M inserts for superior control in all conditions. It’s lightweight yet solid in hand, with an ergonomic form that ensures secure handling, even with gloves or in wet weather. A tip-down pocket clip allows for discreet, dependable carry and quick draw access when every second counts. For emergency scenarios, a hardened glass breaker is integrated into the handle’s base—ideal for first responders or high-risk situations where breaking through barriers is necessary. At 9.7 inches overall and weighing 5.92 ounces, this knife hits the sweet spot between reach, heft, and control.

Every Scarab II Gen III is built in the USA and finished with Microtech’s trademark precision and attention to detail. Whether you’re on duty, in the field, or building your top-tier collection, this knife delivers on all fronts.
