SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech L.U.D.T. (Large Underwater Demolition Team) stands out as a high-performance automatic knife built for demanding use. Its 3.42" partially serrated tanto blade, crafted from Microtech’s proprietary Böhler M390MK steel, offers exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Developed with Böhler engineers, this steel is a refined take on the renowned M390, ensuring the blade handles extreme conditions with ease. The stonewash finish gives it a rugged, well-worn look while enhancing its durability against scratches and wear.
This out-the-side automatic knife deploys effortlessly with a push-button mechanism that locks the blade securely in place. The anodized turquoise handles, made from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, deliver strength without excess weight and offer an eye-catching, vibrant finish. A stainless steel pocket clip, satin-finished hardware, and a lanyard hole fitted with a black paracord lanyard complete the design, making this knife both practical and visually striking.
The Gen III model includes a host of thoughtful upgrades to improve performance and longevity. Krud Kutter grooves on the thumb slide prevent lint buildup, keeping the action smooth and reliable. The pocket clip features a ceramic ball that reduces wear on your pocket, while reinforced Torx hardware boosts overall durability. Microtech’s Dual Fuel Drive system ensures lightning-fast blade deployment, giving you confidence in critical moments.
