With its striking red aluminum handle, distinctive Frag pattern, and Apocalyptic-finished tanto blade, this LUDT delivers a bold combination of performance and style.
At the heart of this folder is a 3.43-inch tanto blade crafted from Bohler M390MK stainless steel. Known for its excellent edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, this premium blade steel is well suited for a dependable everyday cutting tool. The tanto profile features a reinforced point and a purposeful geometry designed to handle a variety of utility tasks. Its Apocalyptic finish gives the blade a worn, battle-tested appearance that pairs perfectly with the knife's tactical character.
The manual opening design puts deployment directly in your hands, while Microtech's RAM-LOK locking mechanism provides secure blade retention during use. This innovative system adds modern functionality to the LUDT platform, giving users a reliable manual folder without sacrificing the rugged character that has made the series popular. Whether you're handling routine cutting chores or adding a capable tool to your everyday carry rotation, this knife is built to deliver practical performance.
The red aluminum handle provides a strong, lightweight foundation with an aggressive Frag pattern that enhances both appearance and grip. Returning handle inlays offer additional traction where it counts, helping promote confident control during use. The vibrant red finish creates a sharp contrast against the Apocalyptic blade, giving this model a distinctive look that stands out in any collection. Common Torx screws make maintenance more accessible, while the tip-up pocket clip supports convenient carry and quick access when needed.
Measuring 8 inches overall with a 4.57-inch handle, the LUDT offers a substantial, comfortable grip without becoming excessive for everyday carry. Its 3.43-inch blade provides practical cutting length while maintaining the versatility expected from a modern folding knife.
