L.U.D.T. GEN III Signature Series M390MK Sunrise Cerakote Plain Blade, Sunrise Cerakoted Aluminum Handles
Microtech Knives
The 2023 LUDT Gen III represents the pinnacle of Microtech's legacy, offering a refined evolution of the legendary Underwater Demolition Team (LUDT) knife. Originally introduced in the mid-1990s, the LUDT quickly became one of Microtech’s best-selling knives in history. After a brief hiatus from our lineup, we are excited to bring back this iconic blade.
This edition features a carefully designed blade with a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and now a blood groove/full for, enhancing its ability to penetrate effectively while maintaining structural strength. The blade’s finish not only enhances its visual appeal but also ensures exceptional durability. The handle, seamlessly integrated with 3M Traction Tape, makes this knife an ideal choice for everyday carry (EDC).
Every aspect of the LUDT has been thoughtfully refined—from the actuation button to the pocket clip—creating a sleek, cohesive look. Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, the handle offers durability without adding unnecessary weight. Its ergonomic design and rapid deployment make it a standout in performance and style.
Building on a proven legacy, the 2023 LUDT Gen III now features Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole, adding practicality and security to its meticulously crafted design. This distinguished knife continues to exemplify excellence in a versatile, high-performance blade.
