Microtech LUDT Gen III Turquoise Auto Knife 3.5in Partial Serrated Black Tanto AUMT11362TQ

The Microtech LUDT Gen III Automatic Knife is a modern evolution of the original UDT, the knife that started it all for Microtech. Designed with the same rugged reliability, it incorporates advanced features to meet the demands of today’s toughest tasks. The LUDT stands for Large Underwater Demolition Team, staying true to its roots as a robust tool capable of firing even in harsh conditions, including underwater. This newest iteration combines innovative updates with the familiar form of the classic, making it an ideal choice for those who value both heritage and performance.

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 tanto blade is enhanced with a black finish, giving it a tactical 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 out-the-side automatic action of the LUDT Gen III is operated by a reliable push-button mechanism, which locks the blade securely into place when open. The precision engineering of the 24 Silica Carbide Bearing ensures smooth, lightning-fast deployment, even in challenging conditions. Whether you’re working on land or underwater, this knife delivers consistent, powerful performance every time.

The handle is constructed from contoured anodized  turquoise 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.
