SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech LUDT GEN III OTS Auto S/E Standard Cerakote Moss Green is a precision-crafted automatic folder that combines classic UDT design with modern engineering advancements. Designed for professionals, collectors, and enthusiasts alike, this knife delivers the perfect balance of performance, ergonomics, and durability. While it maintains the familiar form and feel of its predecessors, this GEN III iteration introduces a series of upgrades that enhance both functionality and user experience. Handle inlays return to improve grip and control, giving users confidence during deployment and use, while the knife rides on 24 silica carbide bearings for the smoothest action yet in a LUDT folder.
Measuring 8 inches overall with a 3.5-inch blade, the LUDT GEN III offers a robust cutting platform while remaining practical for tactical, outdoor, and everyday carry tasks. The blade is forged from premium Böhler M390MK steel, known for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it capable of handling demanding conditions without compromise. The standard drop-point design maximizes versatility, allowing for precise slicing, piercing, and utility work with ease. The Cerakote moss green finish not only adds a tactical, low-profile aesthetic but also improves resistance to wear and the elements.
The handle measures 4.5 inches and features ergonomic contours with inlays for optimal grip, ensuring control and comfort during extended use. The tip-up carry pocket clip offers secure and convenient carry, providing rapid access when needed. The knife’s water-resistant construction enhances its reliability in wet or adverse conditions, making it a dependable tool in any environment. Common Torx screws allow for easy maintenance, keeping the knife in peak operating condition with minimal effort.
The double-action out-the-side (OTS) mechanism allows for fast and controlled blade deployment and retraction using a thumb slide. Despite its solid construction, the LUDT GEN III remains balanced, responsive, and comfortable in hand, making it ideal for professionals or enthusiasts who demand both performance and precision. The combination of premium materials, tactical engineering, and the distinctive moss green Cerakote finish make this folder a standout choice in the world of automatic knives. Fast deployment, tactical edge, and moss green style — the LUDT GEN III OTS Auto excels at SMKW.
