SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Microtech Marfione Select L.U.D.T. is more than just a revival of a classic—it’s a refined, precision-engineered automatic that sets a new standard for side-opening folders. This model combines heritage design with modern materials and innovations, resulting in a knife that’s both elegant and rugged enough for real-world use. At 8 inches overall with a 3.5-inch blade, it strikes the ideal balance between carry comfort and cutting capability, making it a standout in the automatic knife category.
The blade is forged from Baker Forge Coppermai Damascus and finished in a deep blued treatment that highlights the flowing patterns of steel and copper. This isn’t just visual appeal—it’s a blade designed for performance, with the tanto edge geometry adding strength and piercing ability. Unique to this edition, no two damascus blades are alike, giving every knife its own personality.
The handle is built from lightweight yet strong carbon fiber, reducing overall weight to just 3.6 ounces. Inlays return on this L.U.D.T. generation, providing extra grip without sacrificing the knife’s sleek, modern lines. The bronze hard-cut hardware contrasts beautifully against the carbon fiber, while blue titanium accents add a striking touch that separates this knife from standard production models. From pivot to screws, every detail demonstrates craftsmanship and attention to design.
Performance is as important as aesthetics, and Microtech has ensured this L.U.D.T. delivers. Riding on 24 silica carbide bearings, the blade launches with authority and retracts smoothly, giving the user effortless deployment every time. The button-lock mechanism is reliable and easy to operate, while the tip-up carry clip ensures fast access and secure pocket retention. The water-resistant build and use of Torx screws mean this knife is ready for both long-term performance and straightforward maintenance.
The Marfione Select L.U.D.T. represents the pinnacle of Microtech’s automatic folding line: a fusion of artistry, engineering, and usability. For collectors, the rare combination of Coppermai Damascus, carbon fiber, bronze, and titanium accents makes it a centerpiece. For users, the strength, precision, and reliable action mean it’s more than capable of being carried and used daily.
