Microtech Signature Series LUDT Gen III Automatic Folding Knife 1136-1MWS | Two-Tone Tanto | Milwaukee Red

The Microtech Signature Series LUDT Gen III Automatic Folding Knife (1136-1MWS) represents the next evolution of one of the most respected automatic knives ever produced. Originally introduced in the mid-1990s, the Underwater Demolition Team (LUDT) quickly became one of Microtech's most sought-after models. The Gen III redesign builds upon that legendary reputation with refined ergonomics, upgraded hardware, and enhanced performance while maintaining the lightning-fast automatic action that made the LUDT famous.

Finished in an eye-catching Milwaukee Red anodized aluminum, this Signature Series model is paired with a striking two-tone M390MK Tanto blade. The reinforced tanto tip offers exceptional piercing strength while the full-flat grind and plain edge deliver excellent everyday cutting performance. A crowned spine, aggressive thumb ramp jimping, and newly added fuller provide improved control while maintaining outstanding structural integrity.

The precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminum handle features integrated 3M Traction Tape inserts, providing exceptional grip in wet or dry conditions without sacrificing comfort. Every component has been refined—from the oversized push-button deployment to the redesigned pocket clip—creating one of the smoothest and most confidence-inspiring automatic folders Microtech has ever produced.

Running on 24 Silica Carbide bearings, the Gen III LUDT opens with incredible speed and locks solidly into place. Torx hardware, a dedicated lanyard hole, premium stainless steel pocket clip, and Microtech's renowned fit and finish make this an outstanding choice for collectors and serious everyday carry enthusiasts alike.

Proudly built in the USA, the Microtech Signature Series LUDT Gen III 1136-1MWS combines premium materials, legendary reliability, and exclusive Signature Series styling into one exceptional automatic knife.
