Every legend begins with a mission—and for Microtech, that mission started beneath the waves. The Microtech LUDT Gen III Auto Knife Weathered Metal - Apocalyptic Tanto pays tribute to the company’s original Underwater Demolition Team (UDT) design, reinvented for the modern era. What once served as a dive-ready tool for the world’s most demanding operators has evolved into a high-performance automatic knife built to thrive in any environment. Precision-engineered, battle-proven, and unmistakably Microtech, the LUDT Gen III embodies the perfect balance of heritage and innovation.

The moment you engage the firing button, you’ll feel Microtech’s decades of craftsmanship in motion. The Gen III LUDT deploys with lightning speed through its advanced silica carbide ball-bearing pivot system, offering one of the fastest, smoothest openings ever achieved in an out-the-side automatic knife. Its 3.5-inch Apocalyptic tanto blade, forged from premium Böhler M390MK super steel, delivers razor-sharp cutting power with exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The rugged, weathered metal aluminum handle features 3M grip inlays that ensure a secure hold, whether you’re operating in tactical conditions or handling daily tasks. At just 3.6 ounces, it’s light in the pocket but heavy on performance.

Every line, texture, and detail of the LUDT Gen III reflects Microtech’s relentless pursuit of precision. The 8.0-inch overall profile feels balanced in hand, offering both agility and control. Its push-button automatic mechanism, paired with a reliable button lock, ensures quick, confident deployment every time. A stainless steel tip-up pocket clip provides fast access, while standard Torx hardware allows for straightforward maintenance. Each knife is proudly made in the USA—a mark of Microtech’s commitment to American engineering and quality.

More than just an automatic knife, the Microtech LUDT Gen III is an evolution of a legend. It’s designed for professionals who depend on their tools, collectors who value craftsmanship, and everyday carriers who expect more from their gear. The Apocalyptic finish not only adds a distinct, battle-worn aesthetic but also minimizes glare and hides wear, making this knife as practical as it is striking. From field use to urban carry, it’s a knife that performs as boldly as it looks.
