The Microtech LUDT (Large Underwater Demolition Team) delivers the classic LUDT character with modern materials, refined construction, and a distinctive configuration built to stand apart. This version pairs a versatile drop point blade with a special one-of-a-kind Apocalyptic finish and rugged Frag-patterned Natural Clear aluminum handles.
The premium Böhler M390MK stainless steel blade features a practical drop point profile that offers an excellent balance of cutting performance, strength, and everyday versatility. Its Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a heavily distressed, battle-worn appearance, creating a unique aesthetic that makes each knife look like it has already earned its place in the field.
Microtech's proprietary M390MK steel was developed in collaboration with engineers at Böhler to improve upon the already-popular M390 formula, with an emphasis on enhanced edge retention and corrosion resistance. The result is a premium blade steel well suited to demanding everyday use.
The Frag-patterned aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a secure, aggressive grip while maintaining the LUDT's lightweight, hard-use character. Their Natural Clear finish uses a protective, colorless anodic coating that enhances corrosion resistance and durability while allowing the aluminum's natural appearance to shine through. The contrast between the distressed blade and clean metallic handles gives this LUDT a distinctive look from every angle.
Common Torx hardware simplifies maintenance, while the stainless steel carry clip provides secure pocket carry and quick access. The manual folder combines rugged construction with smooth, controlled operation for dependable everyday performance.
