The LUDT Gen III represents the apex of Microtech's storied history, marking a refined evolution of the renowned Underwater Demolition Team knife. First introduced in the mid-1990s, the LUDT quickly became one of Microtech's fastest-selling models. After a brief hiatus, we are thrilled to announce the return of this iconic blade.
The LUDT Gen III features a meticulously crafted blade with a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, reinforced tip, and a new blood groove/fuller, enhancing penetration efficiency without sacrificing structural integrity. The blade's finish not only adds to its visual appeal but also ensures exceptional durability. The handle, adorned with integrated 3M Traction Tape, makes this knife an ideal choice for everyday carry (EDC).
Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the LUDT, from the actuation button to the pocket clip, ensuring a refined and sophisticated look. The handle, precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, offers both strength and lightweight performance. With its ergonomic design and rapid deployment, the LUDT Gen III exemplifies excellence in an all-encompassing blade.
Having stood the test of time, the LUDT Gen III makes a triumphant return, now featuring Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole for added utility and security.
