CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech L.U.D.T. (Large Underwater Demolition Team) is a powerhouse automatic knife, engineered for precision and durability in demanding conditions. Its 3.42" serrated tanto blade is crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK steel, a cutting-edge alloy developed with Böhler engineers to improve edge retention and corrosion resistance beyond the already impressive M390. With a rugged stonewash finish, the blade not only performs exceptionally but also resists wear with style.
This out-the-side automatic deploys with the press of a button, locking firmly for reliable use. The anodized turquoise handles, made from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, are lightweight yet rugged, delivering strength and comfort in hand. Satin-finished hardware, a stainless steel pocket clip, and a lanyard hole with a black paracord lanyard add to its utility and aesthetic appeal.
The Gen III upgrades elevate this knife to new heights of performance. The Krud Kutter grooves on the thumb slide keep lint and debris from compromising functionality, while the ceramic ball on the pocket clip minimizes wear and tear on clothing. Reinforced Torx hardware enhances overall durability, and the Dual Fuel Drive system ensures lightning-fast deployment, ready for action whenever needed.
Measuring 4.62" closed and weighing a mere 3.4 ounces, the L.U.D.T. balances portability with robust cutting power. Designed for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts alike, it’s proudly made in the USA, reflecting Microtech’s commitment to craftsmanship and innovation.
