Microtech – 1143-10APRD – Combat Troodon Gen III – OTF Auto – M390MK Apocalyptic Tanto – Aluminum – Red

The Microtech Combat Troodon Gen III continues the legacy of one of Microtech’s most iconic out-the-front platforms, now refined with upgraded internals, a reinforced chassis, and a noticeably smoother deployment cycle. This red-handled configuration delivers the same aggressive character the Combat Troodon is known for, but with the improved reliability and power of the Gen III drivetrain. Whether carried as a hard-use tool or admired as a modern precision-machined collectible, this model stands out immediately.

At the center of this platform is a 4-inch M390MK Apocalyptic tanto blade, a steel chosen specifically for its high wear resistance, excellent corrosion protection, and outstanding stability under heavy cutting and piercing tasks. The Apocalyptic finish enhances the rugged aesthetic while also hiding wear over time, making it an ideal blade for real-world use. The tanto geometry offers reinforced tip strength while still providing a clean, usable cutting edge suitable for utility work, self-defense roles, and daily carry.

The 5.5-inch anodized aluminum handle is finished in a bold red that contrasts beautifully against the stonewashed blade. Jimping placement, pocket clip geometry, and actuator design are all part of Microtech’s continued refinement of the Troodon lineage. The Gen III chassis distributes load more efficiently through the internal rails, resulting in a deployment that feels more confident and authoritative compared to prior generations. This is a full-size OTF, and yet it still carries surprisingly well due to excellent weight balance and ergonomic shaping.

Collectors will appreciate the enhanced machining tolerances and the subtle evolution of Microtech’s aesthetic language. Everyday users will value the reliable action, secure grip, and the unmistakable authority that a Combat Troodon brings to the table. This is one of Microtech’s cornerstone models for a reason.
