Microtech LUDT Automatic Knife Gen III Stonewash Tanto/Natural Gray

Introducing the Microtech L.U.D.T. (Large Underwater Demolition Team) automatic knife—an exceptional blend of precision engineering and rugged reliability, proudly made in the USA. This enhanced Gen III model is crafted for those who demand superior performance and durability in their tools, whether on duty or in everyday use.

The L.U.D.T. features a 3.42-inch premium steel tanto blade with a stonewash finish, delivering both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. The tanto blade is renowned for its robust tip and superior cutting power, making it ideal for piercing and slicing through tough materials. The stonewash finish not only enhances the blade's rugged look but also provides excellent resistance to scratches and wear, ensuring it maintains its edge through extensive use.

Designed as an out-the-side automatic knife, the L.U.D.T. utilizes a push button for quick and efficient blade deployment. This mechanism ensures the blade springs into action with a swift press, while the push button also locks the blade securely in place, offering reliable performance when it’s needed most. The upgraded Dual Fuel Drive system guarantees lightning-fast blade deployment, a crucial feature for rapid response situations.

The handle is crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, providing a balance of lightweight durability and strength. It features a stainless steel pocket clip with a ceramic thumb ball, which minimizes pocket wear and enhances longevity. Satin-finished hardware and a lanyard hole with a black paracord lanyard add to the knife’s versatility and carrying options. The new Krud Kutter grooves on the thumb slide help prevent pocket lint from affecting the knife’s operation, ensuring smooth, reliable deployment every time.

With a closed length of 4.62 inches and a weight of 3.4 ounces, the L.U.D.T. offers a perfect balance between compact portability and robust functionality. Whether you're a professional or an enthusiast, this knife is built to meet and exceed your expectations.
