The 2023 LUDT Gen III stands as a testament to Microtech's legacy, embodying a refined evolution of the celebrated Underwater Demolition Team knife. Since its inception in the mid-1990s, the LUDT rapidly became one of Microtech's fastest-selling knives. After a brief hiatus, we are thrilled to announce the return of this iconic blade.
 
The LUDT features a meticulously crafted blade with a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and now a blood groove/fuller, ensuring exceptional penetration without compromising structural integrity. The blade's finish enhances its aesthetic appeal and contributes to its exceptional durability. The handle, with 3M Traction Tape seamlessly integrated, makes this knife an ideal everyday carry (EDC) folder.
 
Every detail, from the actuation button to the pocket clip, has been refined and improved for a harmonious and sophisticated appearance. The handle, precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensures robustness while keeping the knife's weight minimal. With its ergonomic design and lightning-fast deployment, the LUDT exemplifies excellence in an all-encompassing blade.
 
Returning to the lineup with a proven track record, the 2023 LUDT Gen III now features Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole, adding both practical utility and an extra layer of security to its meticulous craftsmanship.
