Microtech – 1177-10APMR – Scarab II Gen III – OTF Auto – M390MK Apocalyptic Tanto – Aluminum – Merlot

Description

The Microtech Scarab II Gen III (Model 1177-10APMR) represents the evolution of one of Microtech’s most iconic out-the-front automatic knives, engineered for uncompromising performance in both tactical and everyday carry applications. Built in the USA with precision machining and premium materials, this model delivers exceptional reliability, power, and refined ergonomics that seasoned users and collectors alike demand. At the heart of this knife is a formidable tanto blade crafted from Bohler M390MK steel, a proprietary Microtech variant known for its superior edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The apocalyptic finish combines rugged stonewash and bead-blasted textures, giving the blade a battle-worn aesthetic while helping to conceal wear from hard use. The flat grind enhances cutting efficiency, making it equally suited for piercing tasks and controlled slicing. The Scarab II Gen III features Microtech’s upgraded dual-spring drivetrain, providing an impressively strong and consistent double-action OTF deployment and retraction. This mechanism is powerful enough to function reliably even in adverse conditions, including underwater environments. The redesigned thumb slide incorporates Microtech’s “crud cutter” technology, reducing friction while actively clearing debris to maintain smooth, dependable operation over time. Its merlot anodized aluminum handle is both visually striking and highly functional. Carefully chamfered edges and strategically placed 3M grip inlays ensure a secure, comfortable hold without being abrasive to the hand or pocket. The knife is finished with a reversible steel pocket clip featuring the signature scarab engraving, allowing for versatile tip-up carry for both right- and left-handed users.
