Microtech LUDT Blue Turquoise Automatic Knife - Model 135-10 APTQ

The Microtech LUDT has made a comeback and it's better than ever! There are some notable changes to this automatic knife, but the most noticeable one is the redesigned blade profile. It now has a notched thumb ramp and a smooth crowned spine. The hardware has also been upgraded to new-school Tri-Angle hardware, and the pivot assembly is now recessed for a sleeker look. Additionally, a hole has been added for lanyard attachment. The handle of the LUDT features milled grooves on the tapered 6061-T6 aluminum, giving it a throwback style reminiscent of the early-2000 era models. This knife is a perfect combination of precision manufacturing, premium materials, and a timeless design, all at an affordable price. This particular model comes with a stonewashed Bohler M390 steel blade and a blue turquoise handle with bead blast finished hardware. It's worth mentioning that over 20 years ago, Anthony Marfione introduced the U.D.T., a compact automatic folder that became an instant hit among knife enthusiasts. Shortly after that, the Large UDT, or LUDT, was introduced and has been available intermittently ever since.
