Microtech LUDT Gen III – Natural Clear Handle, Apocalyptic Full Serrated Tanto Blade

Tactical Precision. Proven Performance. Refined Excellence.

The 2023 Microtech LUDT Gen III represents the next evolution of an iconic legacy, meticulously designed to push the limits of tactical and everyday carry performance. Originally developed in the mid-1990s for the Underwater Demolition Team (UDT), the LUDT quickly became one of Microtech’s fastest-selling knives, earning a reputation for durability, speed, and reliability. Now, after a brief hiatus, this legendary blade makes its triumphant return, upgraded with modern refinements.

The Apocalyptic-finished full serrated tanto blade features a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and a blood groove/fuller, enhancing both its cutting power and penetration efficiency while maintaining structural integrity. The handle, crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, is finished in a Natural Clear anodization, offering both a lightweight feel and a rugged aesthetic. Integrated 3M Traction Tape ensures a secure grip in any condition, making the LUDT an exceptional EDC folder.

Every component has been carefully refined, from the smooth-action deployment button to the precision-machined pocket clip, delivering an upgraded ergonomic experience. This Gen III version also introduces Torx screw construction and a dedicated lanyard hole, reinforcing functionality and long-term durability.
