Description

The Microtech 2023 LUDT Gen III (SKU: 1136-12APRD) represents the pinnacle of precision engineering and craftsmanship, carrying forward the iconic legacy of the Underwater Demolition Team knife. This updated iteration reflects over two decades of refinement, combining cutting-edge materials with exceptional functionality to create a knife worthy of any collection or everyday carry arsenal. With origins tracing back to the mid-1990s, the LUDT became one of Microtech’s best-selling knives and has maintained a reputation for reliability, durability, and sleek design. This 2023 model introduces a series of enhancements that elevate its performance and aesthetic. The blade, forged from premium Bohler M390MK stainless steel, features a crowned spine, thumb ramp jimping, and a newly integrated blood groove/fuller. These refinements enhance the knife’s penetration capabilities while maintaining its structural integrity. The Apocalyptic finish adds a rugged, tactical aesthetic while increasing resistance to wear and corrosion. Attention to detail extends to the pocket clip, designed for tip-up, right-side carry, offering discreet and secure portability. Designed by Tony Marfione, the LUDT Gen III is proudly made in the USA, embodying Microtech’s commitment to quality and innovation.
