I have the old Microtech Combat Troodon there is now a new MT Combat Troodon this is my findings and my thoughts about the new one.

I did a search for the video and found it and it really shows what the difference is between the Gen2 and Gen3 Microtech Combet Troodons.

First off the special Microtech hardware has been replaced with standard type hardware, next the larger glass breaker aka headbuster has been replaced with a much smaller item.

It looks like the housing has been redesigned it's slimmer and not as wide, also the purchase grooves are gone the housing is just smooth, there is a new type pocket clip with a ball to assist pocketing the knife.

The Microtech Logo is now molded into the handle and i don't see a S/N or Mfg. date, but i am just seeing what i can see in the video surly it's stiil being put on the Gen3 knives.

Now the real deal of the changes are inside the Gen2 has one powering spring the Gen3 has two, this is how they get it to deploy easer on ones thumb i am guessing.

Myself from what i am seeing in the video i like my older Microtech CT Gen2 better, and am sure the new Gen3 is easer on the thumb, but i am not crazy about the IMHO the cost saving being used on the new Microtech CT Gen3 or of the many changes.
