The Microtech Scarab II Shadow OTF Automatic Knife (278-1DLCTSH) is a premium stealth-focused out-the-front automatic knife built on Microtech’s powerful Scarab II platform. Featuring a 4-inch single-edge Drop Point Black DLC blade, Shadow Series styling, and Microtech’s legendary double-action OTF mechanism, this model delivers exceptional performance, durability, and collector appeal. The 278-1DLCTSH is a highly sought-after Scarab II Shadow configuration known for its all-black DLC appearance and premium construction.
The 4-inch Drop Point blade with Black DLC finish provides a versatile cutting profile with a strong tip, excellent slicing capability, and a sleek tactical appearance. The DLC coating creates a deep black, low-reflection finish that enhances wear resistance while giving the knife its signature stealth aesthetic. The Drop Point design offers a practical balance between everyday cutting performance and rugged tactical styling.
The Shadow Series configuration gives this Scarab II a distinctive fully blacked-out appearance with DLC-coated components and a minimalist presentation. Shadow models are prized by Microtech collectors for their clean, stealth-inspired design and limited-production appeal.
