The Microtech LUDT Gen III Apocalyptic 1135-10APBL automatic knife is a modern automatic model that combines lightweight construction, fast side opening, and the signature precision of Microtech Knives in a clean, functional design.
The LUDT (Large Underwater Demolition Team) is one of Microtech’s iconic knife lines, and its third generation brings improved ergonomics, a sturdier construction, and an overall more reliable mechanism. Compared to OTF models, the LUDT is a classic side-opening automatic, which means greater blade strength in use and a simpler construction.
The dominant feature of this variant is a drop point (single edge) blade approximately 8.5–9 cm long, offering versatile use — from everyday EDC to more demanding work tasks. The blade shape provides an ideal combination of cutting performance and tip strength.
As soon as you pick up the knife, its low weight and excellent handling stand out immediately. The LUDT feels more agile than robust OTF models, which you will appreciate during everyday carry as well as extended use.
The blade is made from premium M390 powder steel, offering excellent edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and long service life.
The Apocalyptic finish (stonewash) gives the knife a “working” look while effectively masking minor scratches caused by use.
The automatic mechanism uses a push-button auto system, ensuring fast, forceful, and highly reliable blade deployment. This system is generally more resistant to dirt than OTF constructions.
The knife comes in typical Microtech packaging with box and manufacturer documentation.
The Microtech LUDT Gen III is a knife that combines speed, lightness, and maximum practicality.
