The Gen III Microtech Combat Troodon is the latest and greatest version of this knife. Microtech has made significant upgrades while also managing to lower the price. That's right, it's better and more affordable than its predecessor. Let's dive into the changes: The blade is now made of Microtech's proprietary steel, Bohler M390MK. The pocket clip is milled titanium with a ceramic ball. The chassis has been redesigned, resulting in improved ergonomics. It now features standard Torx hardware for easy field stripping. But the most impressive change is the revamped internals, which provide incredibly smooth and easy out-the-front (OTF) action. Additionally, milled grooves under the X-Button make operation even easier by reducing friction and clearing away debris. People love the Combat Troodon because it's a powerful and robust OTF knife, and the Gen III version takes it to the next level with added value. Microtech Knives has been dedicated to making the best knives since 1994. Their knives, including OTF knives, automatics, pocket folders, and fixed blades, are crafted with precision and engineered for exceptional performance and reliability.
