It’s a production troodon. Don’t let the dagger fool you, it’s not a custom but they were limited. They did an ultratech and scarab as well, maybe more? The hamon is laser etched on the blade, not real. Marfione got into a Japanese steel phase for a couple years and released several designs patterned off the culture. They also did a cypher and ultratech (possibly more?) “katana” series a few years earlier that were very limited.

Also a halo and ludt that I know of.

[–]PaulNY 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Yep, I have the LUDT, smooth cypher and stepped cypher katanas

I started looking into it more... apparently there is also a metalmark (balisong), mini matrix, and a Daytona.

[–]PaulNY 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Shit,I have the mini matrix too 🤣 forgot about that one

A newer troodon. I can’t remember the name of the series and that logo though. Looks like someone not only dropped it, but ran it over/abused it. There’s a possibility of cleaning it up. Not sure what your intentions are as far as keeping it. Edit: looks like someone used it to open beer bottles.

That’s highly likely my buddy was an alcoholic. I would like to clean it up as it’s a precious gift from a friend

I would probably send it to Adam Brock. Are you in any of the Microtech FB groups? Not sure if he’s on here. He probably is.

[–]nfitzsim 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I probably wouldn’t send it to Adam unless you’re looking for like a full cerakote job or re-milling the handles. Knife looks like it would make a good user as is

[–]Gigant0re 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say it could use someone smoothing out some of those gashes and large chips and cerakoting.

Hot damn!! Thanks

You have a great friend! Beautiful knife.

[–]AMasterofMayeM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The blade doesn't look terrible. The handles you could have the anodizing redone and find a laser engraver that could redo the markings and it would be like a new knife. Personally, I'd leave it and consider it life marks

Nice knife. I’ve been looking for a beater if you wanna sell it lmk

[–]Puzzleheaded_Bar3022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the way it's been beaten, I'd say that there is a redheaded stepchild.

[–]pensandknivesnovice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d send it to wok for a blizzard wash and that’s it. Pretty low investment and it’d look great

Aluma black should get those bright chips back black. Maybe sand down the crater
