Microtech Combat Troodon Interceptor Gen III SS Purple Aluminum (4" Stonewash)

This Knife

• Blade: Interceptor blade made from Bohler M390MK steel with a stonewash finish.
• Opener: X-Button thumb slide opener with buttery-smooth deployment/retraction.
• Handle: Purple-anodized aluminum handle with Torx hardware.
• Carry: Reversible titanium ball pocket clip that's low-profile and ergonomic.

The Interceptor blade shape is a Microtech staple. It's a vicious take on the clip point style with some signature Marfione flare. This Combat Troodon run marks its first appearance on a production-level knife!

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.
