The Microtech L.U.D.T. (Large Underwater Demolition Team) Gen III is built for serious performance, combining proven automatic action with modern upgrades that make it tougher, smoother, and more dependable than ever. Its 3.5" partially serrated drop point blade is crafted from Microtech's proprietary Böhler M390MK steel, an exclusive premium alloy developed alongside Böhler engineers to push edge retention and corrosion resistance beyond the already outstanding performance of traditional M390. The rugged black coated finish adds an extra layer of protection while giving the knife a bold, mission-ready appearance.
A push of the firing button sends the blade into action with remarkable speed, while the same button provides a secure lockup during use. The Gen III L.U.D.T. also benefits from Microtech's Dual Fuel Drive system, delivering exceptionally fast, reliable deployment every time. Krud Kutter grooves help keep lint and debris from interfering with operation, and the ceramic thumb ball on the pocket clip minimizes wear on your pocket while making carry smoother day after day. Upgraded Torx hardware rounds out the improvements, adding strength and long-term serviceability.
The natural clear aluminum handle preserves the clean metallic appearance of the aluminum while protecting it with a durable clear anodized finish that resists corrosion and everyday wear. Lightweight yet remarkably strong, it provides a comfortable, confident grip without unnecessary bulk. A stainless steel pocket clip offers secure tip-up carry, while the integrated lanyard hole provides additional carry options. Measuring 4.5" closed and weighing just 3.6 ounces, it's easy to carry while remaining ready for demanding daily tasks. Every L.U.D.T. is proudly made in the USA with the precision and quality Microtech is known for.
