Microtech Knives

The 2023 LUDT Gen III represents Microtech’s enduring 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 fastest-selling blades. After a temporary hiatus, we’re excited to bring this iconic knife back to the lineup.

The LUDT features a precisely engineered blade with a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and now a blood groove/fuller to maximize penetration without compromising structural integrity. The blade’s finish enhances both aesthetics and durability. The handle integrates 3M Traction Tape for secure, all-day comfort, making this an ideal everyday carry (EDC) folder.

Every component—from the actuation button to the pocket clip—has been refined for a cohesive, sophisticated look. The handle is precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, delivering robustness with light overall weight. Its ergonomic design and rapid deployment establish the LUDT as an exemplary all-around blade.

Backed by a proven track record, the 2023 LUDT Gen III makes a triumphant return. It now features Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole, adding practical utility and an extra layer of security to its meticulous craftsmanship.
