Large format. Refined action. Built to perform.

The Microtech Combat Troodon Gen III continues to refine one of the most recognizable OTF platforms, now with smoother action and improved internal tolerances.

This version features a 4.0” Apocalyptic finish tanto blade with partial serrations, paired with a black aluminum handle for a clean, purpose-driven look.

Gen III Improvements

The Gen III platform brings meaningful refinements to the Combat Troodon.

• Smoother deployment and retraction

• Improved internal tolerances

• More consistent actuation

It keeps the strength of the original design while improving how it feels in everyday use.

Full-Size OTF Platform

The Combat Troodon is built for those who prefer a larger knife.

• 4.0” blade with strong presence

• Longer handle for a full grip

• Balanced feel despite its size

It’s a platform that feels substantial without being excessive.

Apocalyptic Finish + Serrations

The Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a rugged, worn-in look right out of the box.

Combined with partial serrations, you get:

• A finish that helps hide wear over time

• Added cutting versatility for tougher materials

• A blade that looks broken-in from day one

Automatic OTF Action

The double-action OTF system allows for:

• Fast deployment

• Quick retraction

• One-handed operation

It’s a system designed for consistency and ease of use.

Made in the USA

Microtech continues to manufacture their knives in the USA, maintaining tight control over machining, assembly, and quality.

Why This One Stands Out

The Combat Troodon is already a flagship OTF.

This version adds a more rugged finish and partial serrations, giving it a different kind of utility while keeping the clean, all-black look.

If you want a full-size, USA-made OTF with added versatility and a broken-in aesthetic, this one delivers.
