This out-the-side automatic knife is designed for reliability in the most demanding conditions. It features a 3.5" Bohler M390MK stainless steel tanto point blade with an apocalyptic finish that enhances its rugged appeal. The blade, known for its superior edge retention and corrosion resistance, includes a fuller, which adds structural strength while reducing weight. This tanto design excels in piercing and slicing tasks, making it a versatile option for both everyday carry and tactical use.

The LUDT's roots as a knife capable of underwater operation still shine through in its robust, no-nonsense engineering.

The handle, crafted from lightweight yet durable red anodized aluminum, provides a solid grip, reinforced by black 3M traction tape inserts. These inserts give the user a confident hold, even in wet or slippery conditions. The knife also features a stainless steel tip-up pocket clip, satin-finished hardware, and a lanyard hole for added carrying options. At 4.55" closed and weighing only 3.6 ounces, the LUDT Gen III is compact and easy to carry without sacrificing strength or performance.
