Microtech – 1135-1TA – 2023 Ludt Gen III – Automatic Knife – M390MK Black Drop Point – Aluminum with 3M Traction Tape Inserts – Tan Black

Description

The 2023 Ludt Gen III, representing the apex of Microtech’s legacy and an evolved iteration of the esteemed Underwater Demolition Team knife. Initially introduced in the mid-1990s, the Ludt swiftly rose to prominence, becoming one of Microtech’s best-selling knives of all time. After a brief hiatus from Microtech’s offerings, we are thrilled to announce the revival of this iconic blade. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Ludt features a finely honed blade boasting a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, a reinforced tip, and now, a blood groove/fuller, ensuring unparalleled penetration effectiveness while maintaining structural integrity. The blade’s finish not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to its exceptional durability. The handle, seamlessly integrating 3M Traction Tape, further enhances grip and comfort, making it an ideal everyday carry (EDC) folder. Every aspect of the Ludt, from the actuation button to the pocket clip, has been refined and enhanced, resulting in a harmonious and sophisticated overall design. Precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, the handle not only ensures durability but also keeps the knife lightweight. With its ergonomic design and rapid deployment, the Ludt epitomizes excellence in a versatile blade. With a proven track record that has stood the test of time, the 2023 Ludt Gen III makes a triumphant return to the Microtech lineup. This distinguished tool now incorporates Torx screws and a dedicated lanyard hole, adding practical utility and an extra layer of security to its meticulous craftsmanship.
