Microtech LUDT Gen III Automatic Folder – Orange Aluminum Handle / Black Standard Tanto Blade

Engineered for professionals, built for everyday warriors—the 2023 LUDT Gen III returns sharper, smoother, and more mission-ready than ever. This latest evolution of Microtech’s Underwater Demolition Team knife brings tactical precision and lightning-fast deployment to your pocket.

Outfitted with a razor-sharp black Tanto blade crafted from premium Bohler M390MK steel, it features a crowned spine, a reinforced tip, and a blood groove that boosts both looks and performance. Whether you're slicing, piercing, or just flexing your EDC pride, this blade doesn't just cut—it conquers.

The eye-popping orange aluminum handle isn't just for style—it’s lightweight, grippy (thanks to embedded 3M traction inserts), and built to endure. With a streamlined button-activated automatic mechanism and silky-smooth operation via 24 silica carbide bearings, this knife deploys fast and locks in with confidence.

Refined with Torx hardware, a lanyard hole, and a black tip-up pocket clip, the Gen III LUDT is more than just a folder—it’s a legacy redefined.
