L.U.D.T. Gen III Stonewashed Tanto Blade, Natural Clear Handle
Microtech Knives
The 2023 LUDT Gen III represents the pinnacle of Microtech's legacy, offering a refined version of the acclaimed Underwater Demolition Team knife. Since its debut in the mid-1990s, the LUDT quickly became one of Microtech's best-selling knives. After a brief absence from the lineup, we are thrilled to reintroduce this iconic blade.
The LUDT features a carefully crafted blade with a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and a newly added blood groove/fuller, enhancing penetration effectiveness while maintaining structural integrity. Its finish not only adds to its visual appeal but also ensures remarkable durability. The handle incorporates 3M Traction Tape, making it an ideal everyday carry (EDC) folder.
Every element, from the actuation button to the pocket clip, has been meticulously refined for a cohesive and elegant appearance. Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum, the handle combines strength with a lightweight design. With its ergonomic shape and rapid deployment, the LUDT exemplifies excellence in versatile blades.
With a proven legacy, the 2023 LUDT Gen III makes a triumphant comeback. This distinguished tool now includes Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole, enhancing both practicality and security in its exceptional craftsmanship.
