The 2023 LUDT Gen III is the ultimate evolution of Microtech's iconic Underwater Demolition Team knife, blending a rich history with cutting-edge design. Since its debut in the mid-1990s, the LUDT has been celebrated as one of Microtech's fastest-selling models, and its return marks a new chapter in its storied legacy.
 
Engineered for superior performance, the Gen III features a Bohler M390MK stainless steel blade with an apocalyptic finish, offering exceptional durability and sharpness. The blade's crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, reinforced tip, and newly added blood groove/fuller optimize penetration effectiveness while maintaining structural integrity.
 
The precision-machined purple aluminum handle, enhanced with 3M Traction Tape inserts, provides a secure and ergonomic grip. Every element, from the refined actuation button to the tip-up stainless steel pocket clip, has been meticulously designed for reliability and sophistication. The integration of Torx screw construction and a dedicated lanyard hole adds practicality and ease of maintenance, making the LUDT Gen III a versatile tool for everyday carry (EDC) or tactical use.
