The Microtech LUDT (Large Underwater Demolition Team) carries the unmistakable character of the classic LUDT into a rugged manual folder engineered for dependable everyday performance. This version combines a special Apocalyptic-finished blade with aggressive Frag-patterned tan aluminum handles for a distinctive, hard-use appearance.
The premium Böhler M390MK stainless steel blade features a rugged drop point profile that offers a versatile balance of cutting performance, strength, and control. Its Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a unique, heavily distressed appearance, with a battle-worn character that makes every knife stand out.
Microtech's proprietary M390MK steel was developed in collaboration with engineers at Böhler to improve upon the already-popular M390 steel, delivering enhanced edge retention and corrosion resistance. That premium steel gives the LUDT a capable cutting edge that's ready for everything from everyday chores to more demanding field work.
The Frag-patterned aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a secure, confident grip while keeping the knife lightweight and durable. Their tan finish adds a warm, tactical touch to the LUDT's rugged design, while the pronounced Frag texture helps keep the knife firmly in hand when the work gets demanding.
Common Torx screws make maintenance straightforward, and the stainless steel carry clip offers secure pocket carry with quick, convenient access. Every element serves a purpose, creating a manual folder that balances practical function with the unmistakable styling Microtech fans expect.
