Microtech LUDT Gen III Automatic Knife OD Green 1135-10 APOD

The Gen III Microtech LUDT (Large Underwater Demolition Team) knife is the latest evolution of Microtech's original UDT model, renowned for its robust automatic action capable of deploying the blade even underwater. This model, which first hit the market over two decades ago, has undergone numerous refinements and enhancements. The Gen III version introduces subtle yet impactful modifications from its immediate predecessor, including aesthetic tweaks, the addition of inlays, the use of standard Torx screws, and most notably, an exceptionally smooth and sturdy silica carbide ball bearing pivot mechanism. A standout feature of this iteration is the introduction of Microtech's proprietary Bohler M390MK super steel for the blade, offering superior edge retention compared to traditional M390 steel. Designed for those in need of a dependable pocket knife that maintains a sharp edge and operates flawlessly, the Gen III LUDT is a testament to Microtech's commitment to excellence. Since its inception in 1994, Microtech Knives has been dedicated to crafting the finest knives, ranging from OTF and automatic models to pocket folders and fixed blades, all engineered to meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.
