Microtech – 1279-11AP – Scarab II Gen III – OTF Auto – M390MK Coated T/E Partially Serrated – 6061-T6 Aluminum – Black

The Microtech Scarab II Gen III 1279-11AP is engineered for users who demand absolute cutting versatility from a full-size duty-driven OTF. Featuring Microtech’s upgraded Gen III internal system, this variant delivers stronger, smoother deployment and improved reliability under repeated use. The 4.00-inch M390MK tanto blade combines a reinforced piercing tip with a partially serrated cutting edge, making it highly effective for slicing through rope, straps, compressed materials, and heavier fibrous textures that benefit from serration.

The blade’s black coated finish enhances corrosion resistance while minimizing reflectivity, making it well suited for tactical and field environments. M390MK ensures long-lasting sharpness and dependable durability even during demanding or high-frequency use. The tanto profile provides superior tip strength, while the partial serrations add utility-focused versatility without overwhelming the plain cutting edge.

The 6061-T6 aluminum handle is anodized in black for a classic, understated tactical look. Its ergonomic contouring and precision milling, unique to the Gen III evolution, provide enhanced stability and grip security during high-pressure tasks. The updated jimping pattern improves control in reverse or forward grip positions, while Microtech’s refined dual-fuel internal mechanism ensures consistent, confident blade deployment and retraction.

Measuring approximately 9.50 inches open and around 5.7 inches closed, the Scarab II Gen III retains its authoritative full-size profile without compromising practical carry. The titanium roller-ball pocket clip ensures firm retention while reducing pocket drag and wear.

The 1279-11AP stands out as a powerful, purpose-built OTF for users who want Microtech’s top-tier engineering combined with a capable mixed-edge blade configuration.
