New scarab kinda looks like gen 2 knock off with that smaller blade and bigger body

[@garyjustgary5059]

Curious how the new scarab compares to the new combat troodon?

[@Momo-hy7qj]

Ergonomics are better on the combat troodon and always have been, as far as strength goes, probably about the same. Thinner blade stock on the combat troodon and a set of locking sears to match it. And a thicker blade stock on the scarab with some beefy locking sears. Both action is smooth. Pretty much comes down to how the knife feels in your hand. I own the previous gen Combat Troodons, and I prefer to carry one of those over the new scarab just because of ergonomics.

@@Momo-hy7qj Right on. I want one but can’t decide which one. The combat has the new clip and glass breaker. I’m surprised the new scarab doesn’t.

Flip a coin, lol, I usually do that. If I could only have one to go with, I personally would choose the combat troodon, more of a sleek design, ergonomic and great feel, good pocket weight and has the newer options you are interested in.

My Microtech Gen 3,s Do not have That Big Glass Breaker ,Sure you didn't get a Knockoff . My favorite is The Gen 3 Combat Troodon with Twin Springs so much easier to Open. and The Big Glass Breaker is Gone .

[@Momo-hy7qj]

The big glass breakers should be on all the scarab models even the knockoffs, there are other models that do not have the big glass breaker anymore, but scarab is for now, still stuck with it.
