The Microtech Combat Troodon Gen III 1143-10AP represents the next generation of one of Microtech’s most iconic out-the-front automatic knives. Designed to deliver maximum cutting performance, improved ergonomics, and Microtech’s latest drivetrain technology, the Gen III Combat Troodon builds upon the legacy of the original while introducing meaningful refinements for everyday users, collectors, and enthusiasts alike.
This exact configuration features an apocalyptic-finished clip point blade crafted from premium Böhler M390MK stainless steel. Known for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, M390MK is one of the most sought-after blade steels in the industry. The versatile clip point blade profile provides excellent slicing capability, precise tip control, and strong piercing performance, making it ideal for everyday carry and utility applications.
The Gen III Combat Troodon introduces Microtech’s Dual Fuel Drivetrain™ system, delivering smoother deployment and retraction while significantly reducing the force required to operate the knife. Combined with the redesigned actuator and updated internal geometry, the Gen III platform offers one of the smoothest OTF experiences Microtech has ever produced.
The black aircraft-grade aluminum handle has been redesigned with improved ergonomics and enhanced grip texture for superior control. Despite its large format, the Combat Troodon remains comfortable in hand and exceptionally capable in demanding situations. A titanium pocket clip and integrated glass breaker complete the package, maintaining the features that have made the Combat Troodon a benchmark in the premium OTF market.
Proudly made in the USA, the Combat Troodon Gen III 1143-10AP combines cutting-edge engineering, premium materials, and proven reliability in a full-size automatic knife built for serious users.
