Microtech 2023 LUDT OTS Auto C/P STW Tan Standard MT113510TA

The 2023 Microtech LUDT OTS Auto C/P STW Tan Standard is the ultimate evolution of Microtech’s legendary UDT-style automatic folder, combining classic design cues with modern engineering enhancements for unmatched performance and reliability. This iteration preserves the familiar feel and silhouette of its predecessors while introducing innovative upgrades that elevate both form and function. With ergonomic inlays returning to the handle, users gain superior grip and control, ensuring confidence in every deployment.

Measuring 8 inches overall with a 3.5-inch blade, the LUDT is perfectly balanced for both tactical and everyday use. The blade is crafted from premium Böhler M390MK steel, renowned for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness in demanding conditions. The stonewash finish adds a rugged, low-maintenance look while minimizing visible wear, and the clip point (C/P) design provides versatile cutting performance, from precise slicing to controlled piercing tasks.

The handle, measuring 4.5 inches, is constructed for strength and ergonomics, with tan anodized aluminum providing a durable, tactile surface. The return of the inlays enhances grip, making the knife secure and comfortable in hand, even under extended use or challenging conditions. The tip-up carry pocket clip adds convenience and security, allowing for rapid access while keeping the knife safely in place.

Microtech has engineered this folder with 24 silica carbide bearings, delivering the smoothest action in the LUDT line to date. The common Torx screws simplify maintenance, letting users service the knife quickly without specialized tools. Water-resistant construction ensures that the knife performs in a variety of environments, whether on duty, outdoors, or during everyday tasks.

The double-action OTS (out-the-side) mechanism allows for fast, controlled blade deployment and retraction using the thumb slider. Despite its robust build, the LUDT remains balanced and responsive, with ergonomic contours that fit naturally in the hand. This combination of advanced engineering, tactical functionality, and striking stonewash finish on a tan handle makes the 2023 LUDT OTS Auto a versatile, reliable, and stylish tool for collectors, professionals, and enthusiasts alike. Smooth, durable, and tactical — the tan-handled Microtech LUDT OTS Auto STW is your ultimate tool at SMKW.
