The Microtech Signature Series LUDT Gen III brings a refined take on one of Microtech's most recognizable automatic folders. Designed by Tony Marfione and proudly made in the USA, this model combines rapid automatic deployment with premium materials and a distinctive splatter finish that sets it apart from the crowd.
Its 3.45" tanto blade is crafted from premium Bohler M390MK stainless steel and features a black, pink, and light blue splatter finish. The flat-ground blade has a reinforced tip, crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, and a blood groove/fuller that give the LUDT its purposeful, hard-use character. A push button provides fast automatic deployment, while the 24 silica carbide bearings contribute to the smooth action.
The smooth aluminum handles carry the same black, pink, and light blue splatter treatment, creating a bold coordinated appearance while keeping the knife lightweight. At 8" overall and just 3.88 ounces, the LUDT Gen III offers substantial cutting capability without unnecessary bulk. The 4.55" closed length makes it practical for everyday carry.
A stainless steel tip-up, right-carry pocket clip keeps the knife secure and accessible, while Torx screw construction and a dedicated lanyard hole add practical details to the rugged design. Every element has been refined for a dependable, purpose-built automatic folder.
