🔥 Character and philosophy

The Combat Troodon is one of Microtech’s most powerful OTF models and its Gen III variant brings improved design and performance. The D/E (Double Edge) full serrated blade provides maximum penetration and excels at cutting materials where a serrated edge is advantageous – such as rope, webbing or rigid fabrics. This model is designed for demanding tactical situations and rugged EDC deployments.

The recessed side slider provides natural, intuitive control that allows quick extension and safe blade retraction in one smooth motion.

🗡️ Blade – D/E Full Serrate Black Blade

The blade with blade on both sides and fully serrated profile allows:

• extreme puncture resistance

• excellent cutting of fibres and rigid materials

• consistent performance regardless of the type of cut

Black finish reduces glare and adds tactical character to the knife.

A serrated blade is effective where a smooth blade loses performance – for example, when cutting rope, ballasted rope or other abrasive materials.

🔬 Steel – Premium Stainless Steel

The steel used belongs to the premium segment of cutlery materials – it is characterised by:

• high wear resistance

• good corrosion resistance

• long blade retention

This combination ensures reliable performance even in demanding tasks.

🧩 Handle – Tan Anodized Aluminum

The handle is made of anodised 6061-T6 aluminium in a tan finish that looks robust and practical at the same time.

• 3D CNC milled anti-slip texture

• Jimping for better control

• Recessed side slider

• Ambidextrous deep-carry clip (right/left, tip-down)

• Secondary details such as serial number and date of manufacture

The tan colour is practical, blends well with tactical gear and masks minor scuffs well.
