Designed for everyday carry (EDC), tactical applications, first responders, military professionals, and knife collectors, the LUDT Gen III delivers lightning-fast automatic deployment, rock-solid lockup, and the outstanding craftsmanship that has made Microtech one of the most respected names in premium automatic knives. Premium M390MK Tanto Blade This model features a 3.50-inch tanto blade crafted from Böhler M390MK stainless steel, a premium powder metallurgy steel renowned for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and toughness. Built to withstand demanding daily use, M390MK maintains a razor-sharp edge longer than conventional stainless steels while offering excellent durability in challenging environments. The reinforced tanto blade profile provides outstanding piercing capability and superior tip strength, making it ideal for precision cutting, heavy-duty utility work, tactical applications, and everyday carry. A flat grind enhances slicing performance while preserving blade strength and edge stability. The exclusive Black and Orange Topographic camouflage finish gives the blade an aggressive appearance while perfectly complementing the matching aluminum handle, creating one of the most distinctive Signature Series Microtech knives available. Gen III Engineering Improvements The third-generation LUDT introduces significant mechanical improvements that elevate performance beyond previous generations. The redesigned pivot system incorporates 24 silica carbide bearings, delivering exceptionally smooth blade operation with faster, more consistent push-button deployment. The upgraded button lock provides solid lockup with minimal blade play, inspiring confidence during hard use. Unlike earlier models, the Gen III also features standard Torx hardware, making routine maintenance and disassembly considerably easier for owners. Built for Everyday Carry Despite its full-size design, the LUDT Gen III weighs only 3.60 ounces, making it comfortable for all-day pocket carry. The precision-machined 6061-T6 aluminum handle offers an ideal combination of lightweight performance, durability, and corrosion resistance. Its ergonomic contours provide a secure grip during both precision tasks and demanding cutting applications, while the right-hand tip-up pocket clip keeps the knife readily accessible for quick deployment. With an overall length of 8.00 inches, the LUDT delivers a full-handed grip without unnecessary bulk, making it an outstanding choice for users seeking a premium automatic EDC knife.
