CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESBuilt for serious performance and elevated with custom craftsmanship, the Microtech L.U.D.T. automatic delivers speed, strength, and refined detail in one hard-use package. This out-the-side automatic deploys with authority at the press of a button and locks up solid, giving you decisive, one-handed action when it counts. Its 3.42-inch tanto blade is ground for piercing power and reinforced tip strength, making it well suited for demanding cutting tasks. Crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK steel, this advanced evolution of M390 was developed alongside Böhler engineers to further improve edge retention and corrosion resistance. The rugged stonewash finish enhances its hard-use character while helping conceal signs of carry.
Handmade by Marfione Custom Knives in collaboration with Microtech, this special edition pairs proven mechanics with premium materials. The anodized Ice Blue titanium handles are lightweight yet exceptionally strong, offering durability without unnecessary bulk. A textured inlay enhances grip security and adds depth to the overall design. Double vapor blasted hardware complements the blade’s finish with a subtle, custom touch. The stainless steel pocket clip provides reliable carry, and the integrated lanyard hole adds versatility for those who prefer additional retention options.
At 4.62 inches closed and weighing just 3.4 ounces, it carries comfortably while maintaining the substance you expect from a serious automatic. Every detail reflects American craftsmanship and a commitment to precision manufacturing. Proudly made in the USA, this L.U.D.T. stands as a refined, hard-hitting tool built for real-world use.
