SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech L.U.D.T. T/E Gen III Natural Clear Apocalyptic Partial Serrated is a purpose-built automatic knife crafted for those who demand performance, reliability, and striking aesthetics. This out-the-side automatic deploys with authority thanks to its responsive push-button mechanism, making it a fast and dependable companion for everyday carry, tactical use, or emergency situations.
At the heart of this knife is a 3.5-inch tanto blade forged from premium M390MK stainless steel—known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and durability. The blade features a partial serrated edge, giving users enhanced cutting power through tough materials like rope, fabric, and fibrous matter. Finished in Microtech's rugged apocalyptic finish, the blade has a battle-worn look that doesn’t just catch the eye—it hides wear and tear from real-world use.
The handle is built from natural clear anodized aluminum, offering a sleek yet raw look that pairs perfectly with the apocalyptic blade. Contoured for comfort and control, it provides a confident grip whether you’re wearing gloves or going barehanded. The tip-up pocket clip ensures secure and discreet carry, while the integrated lanyard hole gives you extra attachment options when you need them. With an overall length of 8 inches and weighing in at just 3.6 ounces, this knife balances lightweight handling with rock-solid strength.
Proudly made in the USA, the L.U.D.T. (Large Underwater Demolition Team) Gen III embodies Microtech’s commitment to American craftsmanship, precision engineering, and mission-ready design. Whether you’re a collector, first responder, or someone who simply won’t compromise on quality, this knife is built to serve and endure. Order it today from SMKW!
