Microtech Scarab DE-S GEN III Sand Standard - 1180-1SN

The Microtech Scarab II is a high-quality tactical out-the-front knife, based on the original Microtech Ultratech design. Built to withstand the extreme, the Scarab II excels in high-intensity covert operations. The Scarab II is designed for a broad spectrum of utility and close-quarter combat applications for use by qualified law enforcement, military, and government agency operatives.

The Scarab II is fabricated to the highest possible standards to assure reliability and safety with its use. Featuring a one-handed, open and close, dual-action out-the-front (OTF) design, and a nearly four-inch blade, the Scarab is produced with a large easy-to-grip handle that contains non-slip grip inlays on both sides.

Microtech's revolutionary dual-fuel drivetrain system not only allows for effortless deployment, but the dual spring design propels the blade forward with enough force that deploying the knife underwater does not slow the action.

The updated button pocket design reduces friction and facilitates debris displacement, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and cleaning.
