Microtech, Scarab Gen III, Out-The-Front, Drop Point, Partially Serrated, Black (1278-11AP)

The Microtech Scarab II is a high-quality tactical out-the-front knife, based on the original Microtech Ultratech design. Built to withstand the extreme, the Scarab II excels in high-intensity covert operations.

The Scarab II is designed for a broad spectrum of utility and close-quarter combat applications for use by qualified law enforcement, military, and government agency operatives.

The Scarab II is fabricated to the highest possible standards to assure reliability and safety with its use.

Featuring a one-handed, open and close, dual-action out-the-front (OTF) design, and a nearly four-inch blade, the Scarab is produced with a large easy-to-grip handle that contains non-slip grip inlays on both sides.

The most popular heavy-duty Microtech OTF, the Scarab II, is back with innovative upgrades.

The 2023 updated Scarab II retains the characteristics of its predecessor in both size and style while setting a new standard for OTF technology.

On the surface, the 2023 Scarab II is reminiscent of the previous generation. The classic aesthetics of the traction inserts and Torx screw design on the chassis, as well as the familiar glass breaker and pocket clip, bring back one of our favorite OTF styles.

The internals, however, put the 2023 Scarab II in a class of its own.

Microtech’s revolutionary dual-fuel drivetrain system not only allows for effortless deployment, but the dual spring design propels the blade forward with enough force that deploying the knife underwater does not slow the action.

The updated button pocket design reduces friction and facilitates debris displacement, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and cleaning. The latest innovation combined with a timeless Microtech look sets a new standard for hard-use, sizable OTF knives.
