Microtech QD Scarab Executive
Picked this knife up at the Pawn Shop here in town and just love it. It’s my first out OTF Auto. This knife was made June 2004 or so it says in the blade. The Blade is made with S30V steel, weight is only 3 7/8″ It has a glass breaker on the butt of the handle. Enjoy this video.

A Microtech in a pawn shop? Dang you got a steal, probably just has much of a steal as the person that brought it in
By thecajunblaze, July 2, 2009 @ 8:24 pm
That’s what I’m thinking. Someone needed a quick fix.

Huh, wouldn’t think a Microtech fails to pierce paper (standard printing paper). In a test by Roadsideimports no Microtech failed it. Spring might be a bit worn since it was made 2004 and I’m pretty sure the previous owner played with it.
If i were you I’d try contacting Microtech and maybe getting a replacement spring or something if that is the case (along with a tool to open it, lol).

nice dude sexy knife!
By thecajunblaze, July 2, 2009 @ 9:39 pm
The Blade went through the paper but went off track every time. You’re right no telling how the knife was used before.

So you don’t need any special papers proving you’re in the PD or anything similiar? I’m looking for a Microtech o nthe forums. but they’re a little slow right now

That must be a nightmare to take apart and put back together (love to see that), maybe that’s the reason for the weird screws. Nice find! I don’t think that would be legal in my country though.
By nycdave212, July 4, 2009 @ 2:24 am
Congrats on a really great score! 5/5.

The “bug” on the pocket clip is a Scarab. It is a beetle and was the most popular amulet of ancient Egypt. In ancient Egyptian myths, the sun god Ra rolls across the sky each day and transforms the bodies and souls of the dead. The dung beetle rolling dung across the sand was seen as a symbol from the heavens. This similarity to Ra is what makes the Scarab so popular and such an iconic image in Egyptian culture. Thought you might find it interesting! Great video and cool knife!!

Nice piece of history thanks!

one question: does the knife have any practical application other than what can’t be achieved with a $3 knife from a stationary shop?
By thecajunblaze, September 3, 2009 @ 4:59 am
I tried buying a cheap knife from wal-mart. Take a look at my Ozark Trail knife video.

Wow what are the odds of finding a Microtech in a pawn shop! Nice going. Just some info for you, those screws are indeed unique. They are tri-wing bits pretty much only used by Microtech. Yes they offer a set so you can perform maintenance tasks on the knife (like replacing that sorta worn spring). Believe it or not, it’s not a scary mess of parts inside. It’s just the blade and a simple slide with two springs. There is a video of someone taking apart the knife if you would like to see it.

Thanks for the info, If I ever decide to change out that spring I will look it up. Thanks again!
