Microtech 1142-1DLCTSH Signature Series Combat Troodon Gen III Shadow AUTO OTF Knife – 4.125" M390MK Black DLC Double Edge Dagger Blade

The Microtech Combat Troodon Gen III Shadow Signature Series embodies the pinnacle of American tactical innovation — a precision-built out-the-front automatic knife engineered for serious professionals and collectors alike. Enlarged by 25% over the standard Troodon, the Gen III brings commanding presence and improved ergonomics to the table while maintaining the lightning-fast deployment and reliability that made the Troodon lineage legendary.

At its core lies a 4.125-inch double-edge dagger blade crafted from Böhler M390MK stainless steel, DLC-coated for stealth and maximum durability. The dual-action thumb slide ensures smooth, confident deployment and retraction every time, while the updated drivetrain delivers even more refined mechanical consistency.

The deep-engraved aircraft-grade aluminum handle features the Signature Series Shadow treatment — a matte black aesthetic matched with DLC-coated hardware and a milled titanium pocket clip bearing the Marfione dagger logo. Precision Torx fasteners ensure serviceability and long-term reliability, while its ambidextrous clip placement makes it fully adaptable for right- or left-handed users.

The Combat Troodon Gen III Shadow is more than a tool — it’s an apex of modern OTF engineering, seamlessly merging elegance, aggression, and performance for those who demand excellence in every detail.
