CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech LUDT is back—and it’s not just a comeback, it’s a major upgrade. Designed with inspiration from the original UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) knife, the new LUDT merges that proven heritage with cutting-edge innovation, making it a standout in the world of high-performance automatic folders.
This next-gen LUDT features a razor-sharp 3.5" Bohler M390MK stainless steel blade known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The 4.5" handle is built for ergonomic comfort and control, and inlays make their triumphant return, offering a grippy, confident feel even in wet or challenging conditions. Weighing just 3.6 oz, it's lightweight enough for everyday carry yet rugged enough for serious use.
Where this model truly shines is in its performance: 24 silica carbide bearings deliver some of the smoothest, fastest deployment you’ll find in an automatic knife. Maintenance is easy with standard Torx hardware, and the tip-up carry pocket clip ensures secure and quick access whenever you need it. Built tough, water-resistant, and ready for anything—this is the LUDT evolved.
Whether you’re a dedicated Microtech collector or someone seeking a reliable, American-made EDC with premium materials and action, the new LUDT checks all the boxes and then some.
