Combat Troodon Gen III

The Gen III Microtech Combat Troodon is easily the best version yet, as Microtech managed to make significant upgrades AND reduce the price! Yeah, you heard that right: It’s better and more affordable than its predecessor. Let’s get into the changes: The blade is now Bohler M390MK, Microtech’s proprietary steel; the pocket clip is milled titanium with a ceramic ball; the chassis is styled differently, resulting in improved ergonomics; it has standard Torx hardware for field stripping; and, most significantly, the internals have been stripped and redone, resulting in some of the easiest, smoothest OTF action on the market. Aside from the internal changes, milled grooves under the X-Button contribute to the easy operation, reducing friction and breaking apart lint and other debris. People love the Combat Troodon because it’s a big, hard-hitting beast of an OTF knife, and the Gen III version is still all that, but with the value cranked up to eleven.
