The 2023 LUDT Gen III redefines Microtech's legacy with a modern evolution of the iconic Underwater Demolition Team knife.

After a brief hiatus, this legendary knife returns with significant upgrades and refined features.

The Gen III LUDT features a stonewashed Bohler M390MK stainless steel blade with a tanto profile, full serrations, and a crowned spine with thumb ramp jimping for optimal control. The addition of a blood groove enhances penetration efficiency while maintaining structural integrity. The lightweight turquoise aluminum handle, integrated with 3M Traction Tape inserts, provides superior grip and an ergonomic feel.

Every aspect of the knife, from the button lock to the tip-up pocket clip, has been meticulously engineered for both form and function. The LUDT deploys with lightning-fast precision, while its robust construction and lightweight design make it an exceptional everyday carry tool.
