Microtech L.U.D.T. OTS Auto Gen III S-E Natural Clear Apocalyptic Partial Serrated MT113511APNC

The Microtech L.U.D.T. OTS Auto Gen III S-E Natural Clear Apocalyptic Partial Serrated is a modern upgrade to a classic design, engineered for serious users who demand performance and reliability. Built on the foundation of the original Underwater Demolition Team knife, the LUDT continues its legacy as a purpose-driven tool while receiving significant updates to improve strength, action, and usability. This generation combines advanced materials, precision machining, and refined ergonomics, making it one of the most capable automatic folders in Microtech’s lineup.

The 3.5” drop point blade is forged from premium Böhler M390MK steel, known for its outstanding edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness. Finished in Microtech’s rugged Apocalyptic treatment, the blade has a weathered, battle-ready appearance that pairs well with the aggressive partial serrations. These serrations give you extra cutting power when working with fibrous or abrasive materials, making the knife as versatile in the field as it is in everyday tasks.

The handle, measuring 4.5”, is crafted from natural clear anodized 6061-T6 aluminum. It strikes a balance between durability and lightweight carry, while the addition of inlays ensures a secure grip in both wet and dry conditions. Inside the handle, Microtech’s updated Gen III mechanism rides on 24 silica carbide bearings, delivering an ultra-smooth and lightning-fast deployment at the press of the button. The blade locks firmly in place, ready for precision cutting or heavy-duty work without compromise.

Practicality is built into every detail of this knife. Common Torx screws make maintenance straightforward, while the tip-up pocket clip offers secure carry and quick access when you need it most. At just 3.6 ounces, the LUDT is easy to carry all day, whether clipped in a pocket or stored as part of your kit. Its water-resistant build, premium components, and streamlined profile make it well-suited for outdoorsmen, first responders, and anyone who values a reliable automatic folder with proven pedigree.

Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech LUDT Gen III reflects decades of refinement and commitment to craftsmanship, blending classic heritage with cutting-edge updates. Shop the Microtech L.U.D.T.
