The Microtech L.U.D.T. OTS Auto T/E Marfione Select SW Slab Side Carbon Fiber w/Blue TI Accent represents the pinnacle of one of Microtech's most celebrated automatic knives. Combining the proven performance of the legendary L.U.D.T. platform with the premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship of the Marfione Select series, this American-made automatic folder delivers exceptional cutting capability, refined styling, and uncompromising reliability for discerning users and collectors alike.
At the heart of the knife is a 3.5-inch tanto blade crafted from premium Böhler M390MK steel, offering outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The reinforced tanto point excels at piercing and precision work while maintaining a durable cutting edge for demanding everyday tasks. Finished with a rugged stonewash and enhanced by a double vapor blast treatment, the blade presents a refined, work-ready appearance that resists showing the wear of regular use while highlighting the exceptional fit and finish expected from a Marfione Select model.
The L.U.D.T.'s out-the-side automatic mechanism has been reengineered to deliver its smoothest action yet. Riding on 24 silica carbide bearings, the blade deploys with remarkable speed and consistency at the push of a button, providing crisp, dependable automatic operation every time. The updated design maintains the familiar feel that made the original L.U.D.T. legendary while incorporating thoughtful innovations that improve both performance and long-term reliability.
This Marfione Select configuration features premium slab-side carbon fiber handle scales that offer an outstanding balance of lightweight strength and refined aesthetics. The carbon fiber construction reduces weight while providing exceptional rigidity, and the smooth slab-side profile creates a clean, modern appearance that showcases the material's distinctive weave. Blue titanium accents add a striking visual contrast and reinforce the premium character of the knife, while the return of textured inlays enhances grip and control without compromising comfort.
Measuring 8 inches overall with a 4.5-inch handle, the L.U.D.T. provides excellent balance and handling for everyday carry and hard-use applications alike. Common Torx hardware allows for straightforward maintenance, while the tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife secure, discreet, and readily accessible. Water-resistant construction further enhances its dependability, making it well suited for both everyday tasks and more demanding environments.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech L.U.D.T. OTS Auto T/E Marfione Select SW Slab Side Carbon Fiber w/Blue TI Accent is built for those who expect the very best in materials, engineering, and craftsmanship. Whether carried as a premium everyday companion or displayed in a collection, this exceptional automatic folder delivers the legendary performance of the L.U.D.T. platform with the elevated refinement that defines every Marfione Select creation.
