Microtech LUDT Signature Series Automatic Knife Gen III Aurora Cerakote Standard AUMT11351LPAUS

The Microtech LUDT Gen III Auto with a drop point blade brings battle-tested performance to your pocket in a streamlined, mission-ready form. Its 3.42" M390MK stainless steel blade features a drop point profile and is coated in a rugged Aurora Cerakote finish that enhances corrosion resistance while reducing glare. The drop point shape offers a strong tip and a generous belly, making it ideal for slicing, detailed work, and general utility—whether you’re on duty or deep in the backcountry.

Fired by a push-button automatic mechanism, the blade deploys fast and locks up tight, ready for whatever the day throws at you. The lightweight aluminum handle is also finished in matching Aurora Cerakote for a sleek, cohesive look. To ensure a secure grip in wet or high-stress conditions, Microtech integrates 3M traction tape inserts along the handle flats—non-slip, rugged, and field-proven. A tip-up pocket clip and lanyard hole round out this EDC workhorse, giving you multiple carry options.

With an overall length of 8.03" and a lightweight 3.62oz build, this knife stays light in the pocket without compromising strength. Whether you're opening boxes or navigating rough terrain, the LUDT Gen III is built to go the distance.
