The Microtech LUDT (Large Underwater Demolition Team) brings the proven character of the classic LUDT into a modern manual folder built for rugged everyday performance. This version pairs a special Apocalyptic-finished blade with aggressive Frag-patterned OD Green aluminum handles, creating a hard-use look that's unmistakably Microtech.
The premium Böhler M390MK stainless steel blade features a versatile drop point profile designed to balance cutting performance, strength, and control. Its Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a heavily distressed, battle-worn appearance, making each knife look like it has already seen plenty of action.
Microtech's proprietary M390MK steel was developed in collaboration with engineers at Böhler to improve upon the already-popular M390 steel, with enhanced edge retention and corrosion resistance. That premium blade steel provides the performance you'd expect from a knife designed for demanding everyday use.
The Frag-patterned aircraft-grade aluminum handles provide a secure, aggressive grip while keeping the LUDT lightweight and durable. Their OD Green finish gives the knife a classic field-ready appearance, while the pronounced Frag pattern adds texture and confidence to every grip.
Common Torx screws make maintenance straightforward, and the stainless steel carry clip keeps the knife securely positioned for convenient pocket carry. From its rugged blade finish to its textured aluminum handles, every detail reinforces the LUDT's hard-use personality.
