Premium Böhler M390MK Partially Serrated Dagger Blade
At the center of the Combat Troodon Gen III OD Green Apocalyptic is a 4.00-inch double-edge dagger blade constructed from Böhler M390MK stainless steel.
M390MK is a premium steel developed for Microtech in collaboration with Böhler, offering a combination of high wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. Its performance characteristics make it a desirable material among premium automatic knife collectors and enthusiasts.
The partially serrated double-edge blade combines traditional plain-edge sections with serrations, providing multiple cutting-edge geometries within the recognizable dagger profile. The symmetrical blade shape and flat grind maintain the classic appearance associated with Microtech's D/E Combat Troodon models.
Microtech's distinctive Apocalyptic blade finish features a weathered, stonewashed appearance with contrasting surface tones. This intentionally distressed finish gives the blade its recognizable industrial character and complements the OD Green aluminum handle.
With a 3.75-inch cutting edge, 0.75-inch blade width, and 0.13-inch blade thickness, this configuration maintains the substantial dimensions expected from a full-size Combat Troodon automatic knife.
Gen III Double-Action OTF Performance
The Microtech Combat Troodon Gen III represents an important evolution of the company's established out-the-front automatic knife platform.
Its double-action automatic mechanism deploys and retracts the blade through the front of the handle using a single thumb-slide control.
One of the most significant Gen III improvements is Microtech's updated Dual Fuel drivetrain, engineered to provide smoother blade operation with reduced thumb pressure compared with earlier Combat Troodon generations.
The redesigned thumb-slide assembly also incorporates Microtech's Crud Kutter technology, featuring channels designed to help move debris away from the switch mechanism and reduce interference during operation.
Additional Gen III refinements include:
-
Updated Dual Fuel drivetrain for smoother automatic operation
-
Redesigned thumb slide with improved operating characteristics
-
Crud Kutter channels designed to help clear debris from the switch area
-
Updated handle contours and textured gripping surfaces
-
Revised pocket clip design with ceramic contact ball
-
Modern Torx hardware construction
-
Refined full-size aluminum chassis
These improvements preserve the substantial character of the original Combat Troodon while introducing updated mechanical operation and ergonomics.
OD Green Aluminum Handle
The 5.50-inch OD Green aluminum handle provides a substantial gripping surface with the clean, enclosed design characteristic of a double-action OTF automatic knife.
Its OD Green finish delivers traditional tactical styling that contrasts with the weathered appearance of the Apocalyptic dagger blade. The combination of muted green aluminum and distressed steel gives model 1142-11 APOD an unmistakable Microtech appearance.
Machined handle contours, textured surfaces, and integrated grooves contribute to a secure and comfortable grip. The Gen III chassis incorporates updated styling while retaining the recognizable elongated Combat Troodon silhouette.
Measuring 1.13 inches wide and 0.56 inches thick, the handle provides generous proportions for users who prefer a larger automatic knife.
When closed, the blade retracts fully into the aluminum handle, maintaining the compact profile of the OTF design relative to its extended length.
Designed for Right- or Left-Handed Use
The Microtech Combat Troodon Gen III D/E OD Green is designed for right- and left-handed operation, with a thumb-slide mechanism that controls both blade deployment and retraction.
Its updated tip-down pocket clip supports convenient carrying, while the ceramic contact ball is designed to reduce friction against pocket material.
The combination of an ambidextrous design, substantial aluminum handle, and double-action mechanism makes this Combat Troodon an appealing option for automatic knife enthusiasts who appreciate refined engineering and full-size construction.
Weighing approximately 5.02 ounces, the knife provides a substantial feel without excessive weight for its dimensions.
