The Microtech Scarab II Gen III represents the next evolution of one of the most respected heavy-duty out-the-front automatic knives ever produced. Engineered for maximum reliability, exceptional durability, and uncompromising performance, the third-generation Scarab II introduces Microtech's refined dual-fuel drivetrain, delivering noticeably smoother deployment and retraction while maintaining the powerful action that has made the Scarab legendary among enthusiasts.
At the heart of the Scarab II Gen III is a premium Böhler M390MK stainless steel blade, offering outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. The blade is built to handle demanding everyday cutting tasks while maintaining a razor-sharp edge through extended use. Whether used for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, or professional applications, the Scarab II is designed to deliver consistent cutting performance in virtually any environment.
The redesigned Gen III chassis features precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminum handles with Microtech's signature traction inserts, providing outstanding grip in wet or dry conditions. Hydraulically vented construction allows the mechanism to function even after exposure to water by efficiently draining moisture from the handle, while the updated drivetrain significantly reduces thumb fatigue without sacrificing deployment speed or reliability.
As Microtech's largest production dual-action OTF platform, the Scarab II inspires confidence with its substantial ergonomics and rock-solid construction. A reversible pocket clip accommodates both right- and left-hand carry, while the integrated glass breaker completes the knife's premium feature set.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech Scarab II Gen III stands as one of the finest heavy-duty automatic knives available today, combining premium materials, cutting-edge engineering, and legendary Microtech quality into an uncompromising everyday carry platform.
