The Microtech LUDT Gen III 1135-1NC automatic knife is a modern automatic model that combines robust construction, fast side opening, and the signature precision of the Microtech brand in a clean, functional design.
The LUDT (Large Underwater Demolition Team) is one of Microtech’s iconic knife models, and its third generation brings improved ergonomics, a stronger construction, and an even more reliable mechanism. Compared to OTF models, the LUDT is a classic side-opening automatic, which means greater blade strength during use.
The dominant feature of this variant is a drop point blade approximately 8.7 cm long, offering versatile use — from everyday EDC to more demanding work tasks. The blade shape provides a good combination of cutting performance and tip strength.
As soon as you take the knife in hand, its low weight and excellent handling stand out immediately. Compared to robust OTF models, the LUDT feels significantly more agile, which you will appreciate for everyday carry as well as during longer work sessions.
The blade is made from premium M390 powder steel, which offers excellent edge retention, high corrosion resistance, and is overall considered one of the top knife steels available.
The automatic mechanism is operated by a push-button auto system, ensuring fast, strong, and highly reliable blade deployment. This system is generally more resistant to dirt than OTF designs.
The knife comes in typical Microtech packaging with a box and manufacturer documentation.
The Microtech LUDT Gen III is a knife that combines speed, lightness, and maximum practicality — ideal for users who want a reliable automatic without compromise.
