Microtech’s L.U.D.T. Gen III is back and better than ever—bringing subtle design updates and major performance upgrades to one of their most iconic automatic folders. This third-generation release holds onto the rugged reliability of the original while enhancing the build with precision refinements for the modern user.
 
This model features a hard-anodized OD Green 6061-T6 aluminum handle with black 3M grip inlays for improved traction in any condition. The apocalyptic-finished tanto blade, made from premium M390MK stainless steel, delivers excellent toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance—ideal for hard use and aggressive cutting tasks.
 
The updated L.U.D.T. now rides on 24 silica carbide bearings, giving the action an ultra-smooth, high-performance feel. Torx hardware makes routine maintenance simple, and the tip-up stainless steel pocket clip provides secure and accessible carry. The slim, ergonomic profile and button-lock deployment make it a top-tier option for everyday carry or field work.
