Microtech Custom Combat Troodon LT Interceptor Signature OTF Knife Black Aluminum, Baker Forge Raindrop CopperMai Damascus by Tony Marfione (1217-16MS1)

Custom Combat Troodon LT Interceptor Signature Black Aluminium, Baker Forge Raindrop CopperMai Damascus is a limited edition of the largest automatic knife, representing the pinnacle of precision engineering and tactical efficiency in the field of OTF (Out The Front) knives. Designed for a wide range of utility applications, it boasts a size 25% larger than the flagship Troodon. Meticulously crafted, it features a sophisticated and lightning-fast mechanism that deploys the razor-sharp, newly designed Interceptor blade. The handle is made of black anodized aluminum, while the blade is forged from CopperMai Damascus by Baker Forge. 100% made and assembled in the USA. Designed by Anthony Marfione, knifemaker and owner of Microtech Knives.

Signature Series - an elite line of Microtech products designed for buyers who are looking for a more exclusive touch to the much-loved Core Series production models (logo with claws on the knife). The highest quality materials and finishes are often used in the production of Signature Series knives. The line also includes themed knives such as Bounty Hunter, Memento Mori and Molon Labe. A distinctive feature is the marking with the dagger logo on the Handle and Anthony Marfione's signature on the clip.

Raindrop CopperMai - a unique 100 ply damast with Raindrop pattern produced by Baker Forge from 15n20/1084 steel. 80CRV2 core, copper spacer. Master blacksmithing technique that gave an incredible effect.

Blade - machine-ground, Interceptor type, with characteristic “teeth on the back and a sharpened part of the upper edge, finished with etching highlighting damascus patterns. The blade was brought out with a high flat grind, providing excellent cutting properties. Thanks to this and the wide grain, the knife has excellent piercing properties while maintaining its strength. The strong mechanism of extending / retracting the blade with the help of the moled Thumb Slide, a stepped slide under the thumb requires for safety the application of a specific force to overcome the resistance of the spring. The method of opening provides seamless opening for both right and left-handed people.

Handle - made with excellent precision in 3D technology on CNC milling machines from 6061-T6 Aluminum, brushed, polished and finally anodized. Deep engraved Claw Logo on one side. The surface texture of the Handle and the deep notches (jimping) on it make the knife non-slip in the hand during use. The slim profile and the milled two-position (right/left) solid deep-carry clip allow the knife to be carried discreetly in the pocket, in tip-down (blade tip down) position. Equipped with a smooth rollerball, which allows the knife to slide easily into the pocket without damaging the pocket edges. The clip bears the signature of Anthony Marfione. The Handle is finished with hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.
