L.U.D.T. GEN III Signature Series M390MK Aurora Cerakote Tanto Plain Blade, Aurora Cerakoted Aluminum Handles.
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. Originally introduced in the mid-1990s, the LUDT quickly became one of Microtech's best-selling knives in history. After a temporary hiatus from our lineup, we are excited to bring back this iconic blade.
The LUDT features a precisely crafted blade with a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and now includes a blood groove/fuller—designed to maximize penetration without sacrificing strength. The blade's finish not only enhances its visual appeal but also boosts durability. The handle, integrated with 3M Traction Tape, ensures a secure grip, making it an excellent choice for everyday carry (EDC).
Every component, from the actuation button to the pocket clip, has been thoughtfully refined for a sleek and sophisticated look. The handle is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, offering durability while maintaining a lightweight feel. Its ergonomic design, combined with rapid deployment, makes the LUDT a true benchmark of excellence.
Built to stand the test of time, the 2023 LUDT Gen III now features Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole, adding practical utility and security to its meticulous craftsmanship.
