Microtech – 1135RL-10FROD – LUDT – Folding Knife – M390MK Stonewash Drop Point – Frag Aluminum – OD Green

The Microtech 1135RL-10FROD LUDT RAM-LOK represents the next evolution of one of the most respected knife platforms ever produced by Microtech. Building upon the legendary reputation of the original LUDT (Large Underwater Demolition Team), this manual folding version delivers the same rugged reliability and ergonomic excellence while replacing the automatic deployment mechanism with a smooth, ambidextrous manual action. The result is a high-performance everyday carry knife that can be legally carried in many locations where automatic knives are restricted, making it an outstanding option for users seeking premium American craftsmanship with greater versatility. Engineered by renowned knife designer Tony Marfione, the LUDT RAM-LOK retains the unmistakable profile and proven ergonomics that have made the LUDT a favorite among military personnel, first responders, collectors, and everyday users alike. Dual thumb studs provide fast, controlled manual deployment, while Microtech’s innovative RAM-LOK locking system delivers exceptional strength, security, and buttery-smooth operation. Designed to be completely ambidextrous, the lock is easy to operate from either side, and the reversible tip-up pocket clip accommodates both left- and right-handed carry preferences. The blade is crafted from premium Böhler M390MK stainless steel, an elite powder metallurgy steel known for its outstanding edge retention, exceptional wear resistance, impressive corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. Measuring 3.45 inches, the drop point blade features a versatile flat grind and rugged stonewashed finish that helps conceal everyday wear while reducing the appearance of scratches from regular use. A distinctive fuller, or blood groove, not only enhances the blade’s visual appeal but also contributes to its lightweight performance. One of the most significant upgrades over previous LUDT models is the handle construction. Instead of adhesive traction inserts, the aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum handle features aggressively machined Frag-pattern texturing milled directly into the OD Green scales. This permanent texture provides outstanding grip in wet or dry conditions while maintaining the clean, premium appearance expected from a Microtech knife. Combined with the precision-bearing pivot system, the knife delivers exceptionally smooth opening and closing action with rock-solid lockup. Proudly manufactured in the USA, the Microtech 1135RL-10FROD combines premium materials, meticulous machining, and innovative engineering into a dependable cutting tool equally suited for demanding daily use or discerning collections. Whether you’re looking for a capable work knife, a premium everyday carry companion, or the latest evolution of the iconic LUDT platform, this manual RAM-LOK model offers exceptional performance, durability, and craftsmanship.
