L.U.D.T.
As pioneer of the Microtech® folding knife line, the U.D.T. has evolved to be an exceptional combination of form and function. The first prototype models featured rubber Kraton™ inlays and were available in small, medium, and large sizes. These models were later consolidated to a single size, featuring a grooved, contoured aluminum handle with jimping along the top of the handle that carries onto the spine of the blade. The L.U.D.T.® boasts an explosive deployment mechanism not commonly found in a knife of this size.
The Gen III Microtech LUDT is a modern version of their first knife, featuring improvements like inlays, Torx screws, and a silica carbide ball bearing pivot. It uses Bohler M390MK super steel for enhanced edge retention. With 3M grip inlays, smooth action on silica carbide bearings, and a tip-up carry clip, this knife offers reliability and performance.
