Microtech Knives

The 2023 LUDT Gen III represents the pinnacle of Microtech’s legacy and a refined evolution of the renowned Underwater Demolition Team knife. Originating in the mid-1990s, the LUDT quickly became one of Microtech’s best-selling knives, and after a brief hiatus from our lineup, we’re excited to bring this iconic blade back.

The LUDT features a meticulously crafted blade with a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and now a blood groove/fuller to enhance penetration while preserving structural integrity. The blade finish blends aesthetic appeal with exceptional durability. The handle integrates 3M Traction Tape for an enhanced grip, making it an excellent everyday carry (EDC) folder.

Every detail—from the actuation button to the pocket clip—has been refined for a cohesive, sophisticated appearance. The handle is precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering robustness with minimal weight. Its ergonomic design and lightning-fast deployment cement the LUDT as a premier all-encompassing blade.

With a proven track record, the 2023 LUDT Gen III returns to the lineup, now featuring Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole, adding practical utility and an extra layer of security to its meticulous craftsmanship.
