Introducing the 2023 LUDT Gen III, a crowning achievement in Microtech's legacy and an evolution of the iconic Underwater Demolition Team knife. Originally debuting in the mid-1990s, the LUDT rapidly became one of Microtech's best-selling knives. Following a brief hiatus, we are thrilled to announce the return of this legendary blade to Microtech's lineup.
 
The LUDT Gen III boasts a meticulously crafted blade featuring a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and now a blood groove/fuller, ensuring unparalleled penetration effectiveness without compromising structural integrity. The blade's finish enhances both aesthetic appeal and exceptional durability. The handle, seamlessly integrating 3M Traction Tape, elevates this knife to the status of an ideal everyday carry (EDC) folder.
 
Every detail, from the actuation button to the pocket clip, has been refined and improved, ensuring a harmonious and sophisticated overall appearance. Precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the handle imparts robustness while keeping the knife's weight minimal. With its ergonomic design and lightning-fast deployment, the LUDT stands as an exemplar of excellence in an all-encompassing blade.
 
With a proven track record that withstands the test of time, the 2023 LUDT Gen III makes a triumphant return. This distinguished tool now features Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole, adding practical utility and an extra layer of security to its meticulous craftsmanship.
