Microtech 142-12VI Combat Troodon D/E Fully Serrated OTF Automatic Knife Violet – Stonewash
The Microtech 142-12VI Combat Troodon OTF Automatic Knife is a precision made, out the front tactical knife. The Combat Troodon is 25% larger than the Microtech Troodon. Despite the size of this knife, the handle feels slim and comfortable. The knife features a handle made of T-6 anodized aluminum with a Violet finish, and a Fully Serrated Dagger blade with a Stonewash finish.
This model features a double‑edge dagger‑style blade that is fully serrated, meaning the entire cutting edge has serrations rather than a plain edge, which is designed to excel at cutting through tougher materials and to provide enhanced bite in utility or tactical scenarios. The blade carries a stonewash finish, giving it a rugged, low‑glare appearance that also helps conceal wear and scratches over time. The handle is machined from anodized T‑6 aluminum in a distinctive violet color, providing both strength and a standout look, and it is shaped with contoured lines and jimping that help improve grip and handling despite the overall size of the knife.
On deployment, the blade extends and retracts straight out the front of the handle via a double‑action thumb slide mechanism engineered for smooth, reliable action with secure lock‑up in both open and closed positions, a hallmark of Microtech’s OTF systems. In terms of size and feel, this Combat Troodon variant runs about 9.50 inches overall with a blade length around 3.80 inches and a handle length of approximately 5.75 inches, weighing in the neighborhood of 5.8 ounces, giving it a substantial presence in hand while balancing ergonomic comfort.
The Combat Troodon line is often appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts for its premium materials, distinctive finishes, and robust automatic mechanism, and this violet stonewash fully serrated version stands out visually within that lineup. Because out‑the‑front automatic knives are subject to varying laws and regulations depending on jurisdiction, prospective owners should be familiar with and comply with local legal requirements and handle such knives responsibly. kenziesoptics.com+1
