While not my first SCARAB, this third generation just goes to show how Microtech continues toseparate itself from the competition! My first SCARAB was a 2005 model, and back then, the firing lever was difficult and not very tactile. While it was slopped, the scallop cuts were very fine, and very easy to slip from. It was noticeably smaller as well. Microtech took keep features from the Navy SCARAB and implemented them into these models; a totally brilliant move! As former military, I do appreciate these details that help minimize weight, but also ensure proper deployment, no matter the situation. Cleaning is simpler and for most cases, does not require any disassembly, but Microtech used T10 screws in order to give the user the ability to service the unit without having to send it in! If you want the best of the best, then don't hesitate! You will not regret it!
