Description
The 2023 LUDT Gen III represents the pinnacle of Microtech's craftsmanship, marking a refined iteration of the legendary Underwater Demolition Team knife. Originally launched in the mid-1990s, the LUDT quickly became one of Microtech's fastest-selling models. After a brief hiatus, this iconic blade has returned, boasting enhanced features and superior design.
The LUDT's blade is meticulously crafted with a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and a blood groove/fuller, ensuring unparalleled penetration and structural integrity. The blade's finish not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also contributes to its exceptional durability. The handle, featuring 3M Traction Tape, makes this knife an ideal everyday carry (EDC) folder.
Every detail, from the actuation button to the pocket clip, has been refined for a sophisticated overall appearance. Precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the handle is robust yet lightweight. With its ergonomic design and lightning-fast deployment, the LUDT exemplifies excellence in an all-encompassing blade.
With a proven track record and timeless design, the 2023 LUDT Gen III returns with Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole, adding both practicality and security to its meticulous craftsmanship.
