Description

Microtech 142-4TQ Combat Troodon D/E OTF Automatic Knife Turquoise – Satin

The Microtech 142-4TQ 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 Turquoise  finish, and a Dagger blade with a Satin finish. 

The handle is machined from anodized 6061‑T6 aluminum in a vibrant turquoise finish, giving it a distinctive look and a comfortable, contoured shape that fills the hand well despite the overall size being robust enough to handle strenuous tasks. The contoured handle typically includes grooves and jimping for enhanced grip, and the knife usually comes equipped with a glass‑breaker end and a reversible pocket clip, adding both practical utility and everyday‑carry convenience.

In overall dimensions, this Combat Troodon runs around nine and a half inches open with roughly a 3.8‑inch blade and a closed length around 5.75 inches, making it one of Microtech’s larger production OTF knives while still maintaining a relatively slender, ergonomic feel in hand. Weight tends to be in the neighborhood of 5.5–5.8 ounces, striking a balance between heft and carryability.

The name “Troodon” comes from a small, bird‑like dinosaur and reflects the knife’s aggressive, purposeful design; Microtech’s out‑the‑front automatics like this are often favored by collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate robust mechanisms and premium materials. Because out‑the‑front automatic knives are treated differently under various regional and national laws, potential owners should be aware of and comply with any local legal restrictions, and practice responsible handling and storage.
