The Microtech L.U.D.T. Gen III is the evolution of a legend—refined, upgraded, and engineered for superior performance. While it retains the familiar lines and heritage of the original Underwater Demolition Team knife, this latest generation integrates modern enhancements that raise the bar for automatic side-opening folders.
 
This model features a durable orange anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle with black 3M traction inlays, providing a secure, grippy feel even in wet conditions. The apocalyptic-finished drop point blade is made from Böhler M390MK stainless steel, offering top-tier edge retention and corrosion resistance. It rides on 24 silica carbide bearings, delivering glass-smooth, lightning-fast deployment at the press of the button.
 
Microtech’s switch to Torx hardware makes maintenance more accessible, and the tip-up stainless steel pocket clip ensures dependable, discreet carry. With a balanced profile and tank-like reliability, the L.U.D.T. Gen III is a serious tool built for real-world use.
