Microtech Scarab Gen III Tactical OTF Automatic Knife Black Tanto Blade Natural Clear Handle 1279-1NC

The Microtech Scarab Gen III stands at the top of the tactical OTF category, combining commanding size, elite performance, and battle-ready refinement. As one of the largest double-action out-the-front knives in the current Microtech lineup, the Scarab Gen III is engineered for users who demand serious capability in a premium American-made platform.

This configuration features a rugged black finished tanto blade crafted from Bohler M390MK stainless steel, paired with a natural clear anodized aluminum handle accented by aggressive black traction inlays. The result is a clean tactical look with enhanced control in wet, gloved, or high-stress conditions.

The Gen III drivetrain delivers smoother, more efficient deployment and retraction, while the redesigned chassis includes rear porting to help maintain dependable action in dirty or adverse environments. Deep contouring and strategic jimping create a confident grip, and the ambidextrous pocket clip allows right or left side carry.

Designed by Tony and Sean Marfione, the Scarab Gen III represents Microtech’s commitment to pushing OTF performance to the highest level.
