CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech LUDT Gen III Automatic Knife is a robust update to a classic, paying homage to Microtech’s first knife, the UDT. Originally built with a powerful automatic action that could deploy a blade underwater, the LUDT maintains that same groundbreaking capability while incorporating modern upgrades. This knife retains the ruggedness needed for demanding conditions but offers improved performance with its contemporary design.
At the heart of the LUDT Gen III is a 3.5-inch Bohler M390MK steel blade, known for its superior edge retention and corrosion resistance. The partially serrated drop-point blade is enhanced with an apocalyptic finish, giving it a rugged look while providing additional durability. A fuller along the blade reduces weight and enhances balance, while the partial serration offers versatility, making it well-suited for cutting through tough materials. The knife’s out-the-side automatic action is powered by an ultra-smooth 24 Silica Carbide Bearing system, allowing for quick, dependable deployment with a simple push-button operation. Once open, the blade securely locks in place, providing confidence during even the toughest tasks.
The handle is constructed from contoured anodized red aircraft-grade aluminum, combining strength with lightweight comfort. The ergonomic design includes jimping along the top of the handle and onto the blade spine, providing a secure grip for maximum control. For added traction, the handle is fitted with black 3M grip inlays, ensuring stability even in wet or slippery environments. Other key features include a milled titanium backspacer, Torx hardware, and a lanyard hole for added convenience. A stainless steel tip-up pocket clip allows for easy carry, ensuring the LUDT Gen III is always within reach.
Proudly made in the USA, the Microtech LUDT Gen III embodies craftsmanship and durability, standing up to the harshest conditions while delivering unmatched performance.
