The Microtech L.U.D.T. S/E Gen III OTS Auto Signature Series in Badlands Camo is a purpose-built automatic knife that blends proven performance with standout custom styling. Long regarded as one of Microtech’s most iconic side-opening automatics, the L.U.D.T. has earned a reputation for rugged reliability, lightning-fast deployment, and practical everyday utility. This Signature Series edition elevates that legacy with a full Badlands Camo finish across both the blade and handle, creating a bold and unmistakable field-ready appearance.
At the core of this hard-use automatic is a 3.5-inch single-edge blade crafted from Bohler M390MK stainless steel. This premium powder metallurgy steel is prized for exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear durability, making it a top-tier choice for demanding users. The versatile blade profile delivers excellent slicing performance and precise control, whether you're handling daily cutting chores or more challenging tasks in the field.
With the push of a button, the blade deploys instantly and locks solidly into place. Microtech’s out-the-side automatic mechanism is known for crisp action and dependable lockup, delivering the fast response and confidence that professionals and enthusiasts expect. The Gen III platform refines the L.U.D.T.'s already proven design, offering enhanced ergonomics and modernized details while preserving its no-nonsense functionality.
The 4.5-inch aircraft-grade aluminum handle is finished in matching Badlands Camo and fitted with a black traction insert for improved grip and control. This textured inlay ensures a secure hold in wet, muddy, or gloved conditions while adding visual contrast to the knife’s distinctive camo pattern. Despite its robust construction, the knife weighs just 3.6 ounces, making it exceptionally easy to carry.
A sturdy pocket clip keeps the knife securely in place, and the integrated lanyard hole adds another practical carry option. Compact, lightweight, and built to perform, the L.U.D.T. Signature Series is an American-made automatic that combines premium materials, proven engineering, and striking aesthetics.
