L.U.D.T.® T/E Gen III Natural Clear Standard - 1136-1NC
Experience the legendary power and precision of the 2023 LUDT Gen III—a masterful revival of Microtech’s iconic Underwater Demolition Team blade. Born in the mid-’90s and renowned for its flawless performance, the LUDT returns stronger than ever, marrying battlefield pedigree with modern innovation.

From the moment you hold the LUDT Gen III, its refined craftsmanship is unmistakable. The razor-sharp Bohler M390MK stainless steel tanto blade, complete with a strategic blood groove, crowned spine, thumb-ramp jimping, and reinforced tip, slices and penetrates with devastating efficiency. The durable black finish not only looks striking but resists wear and corrosion, so your knife remains as formidable as the day you bought it.

Every interaction with this automatic folder feels premium. The newly enhanced actuation button delivers lightning-fast deployments—flick it and the blade rockets out with satisfying authority. Precision-machined aircraft-grade aluminum scales, anodized in a stunning Natural Clear hue, house 3M Traction Tape inserts that guarantee sure, slip-free handling in any conditions. Despite its robust build, the LUDT tips the scales at a mere 3.46 ounces, making it the perfect companion for everyday carry, tactical missions, or impromptu adventures.

Microtech’s meticulous attention to detail shines through in every component. Torx screw construction adds modular serviceability, a convenient lanyard hole offers added security, and a tip-up, right-side stainless-steel pocket clip ensures discreet, secure carry. Inside, 24 silica carbide bearings create a buttery-smooth pivot action that you’ll want to show off at every opportunity.

Designed by Tony Marfione and proudly crafted in the USA, the 2023 LUDT Gen III honors its storied past while embracing cutting-edge enhancements. Whether you’re a seasoned collector, outdoor enthusiast, or self-reliant professional, this knife delivers unbeatable reliability, ergonomic comfort, and the instant readiness you demand.

Elevate your knife game with the 2023 LUDT Gen III—where heritage meets innovation, and every detail is engineered to perform.
