Microtech – 1136-12APRD – 2023 LUDT Gen III – Automatic Knife – M390MK Apocalyptic Tanto – Red Aluminum

The Microtech LUDT Gen III represents the evolution of one of the most respected side-opening automatic knives ever produced. Originally designed for military use, the LUDT has earned a reputation for reliability, speed, and rugged performance. The 2023 Gen III update refines this legendary platform with improved ergonomics, updated internals, and Microtech’s modern manufacturing precision.

The tanto blade is crafted from Böhler M390MK steel and finished in Microtech’s apocalyptic treatment for a rugged, battle-worn appearance. With a blade length of 3.4, the LUDT delivers strong cutting performance with a reinforced tip well suited for piercing and utility work. M390MK provides excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance for demanding everyday carry.

When deployed, the LUDT measures 8 overall, offering a full grip and confident handling. The closed length of 4.6 keeps the knife compact and comfortable for pocket carry. This is a side-opening automatic knife powered by Microtech’s proven coil spring system, delivering fast, authoritative deployment at the press of the button.

A button lock mechanism provides secure lockup and intuitive operation, keeping fingers clear of the blade path during use. The red aluminum handle is precision-machined for strength and lightweight carry, with ergonomic shaping that enhances control without unnecessary bulk.

Proudly made in the USA, the LUDT Gen III remains a benchmark for side-opening automatic knives and a staple in Microtech’s lineup.
