The Microtech Troodon, pronounced (Troh-uh-Don) is named after the Troodon Dinosaur and is the flagship OTF (out the front) automatic for Microtech Knives. It is in my opinion the perfect EDC carry knife because of its slim design and lightweight feel, just 3 ounces. The double action thumb slide is easier to operate than the larger siblings like the Combat Troodon, Scarab and Makora knives for those like myself who have smaller hands.

The Microtech Troodon handle is made from 6061 T6 Aircraft aluminum and measures 4.25". This double action (automatic deploy and retract) out the front automatic knife opens via thumb slide on the side of the handle. Simply push the slide upward and the blade fires hard and fast. To retract pull back on the thumb slide and watch the blade disappear as fast as it appeared. The thumb slide is bead blast finished and  grooved/stepped for easy feel and touch.

The blade on the Troodon automatic OTF knife is 3" long and comes in various styles and steels. The latest run has been D2 steel and will come in everything from a double edged dagger blade to a single edge tanto or drop point style blade. Bead blast, satin, black stonewash finishes are available. The blade edges come full serrated or partially serrated and standard.

Microtech uses a spring that remains "at rest" when not in use to prevent and slow down wear and tear on the internal spring unlike most automatic otf knives. Longevity is key with Microtech knives and they want to ensure you have no issues your auto.

The jimping in the handle make it very easy to grip and it is almost non existent in the pocket which I love. The Troodon is grooved on the front, back and sides of the handle so no matter how you grip it, you will have no slipping issues. In my opinion the Combat Troodon, while very robust and an excellent OTF is a little too big to carry. The Troodon features a glass breaker (skull crusher and pocket clip and all hardware is bead blast finished for a durable clean look.
