Microtech – 1136S-1TPBKPGCS – L.U.D.T. Gen III SS – Automatic Knife – M390MK Coated Tanto – Topographic Parakeet Aluminum – Black Green Camo

The Microtech 1136S-1TPBKPGCS L.U.D.T. Gen III SS is a refined evolution of one of Microtech’s most recognizable folding knife designs. Built around the legacy of the original L.U.D.T., this Gen III model combines a compact, lightweight platform with premium materials, precision machining, and a purpose-driven automatic opening mechanism. Designed by Tony Marfione and made in the USA, the 1136S-1TPBKPGCS delivers a distinctive combination of performance, durability, and modern Microtech engineering in an exceptionally portable package. At the heart of this L.U.D.T. Gen III is a 3.45-inch tanto blade made from Bohler M390MK stainless steel. This premium blade steel is well suited to demanding everyday cutting applications, offering a strong balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. The flat-ground tanto profile provides a reinforced point and practical cutting geometry, while the crowned spine and thumb ramp jimping provide additional control during use. A blood groove/fuller’s inclusion gives the blade a distinctive appearance while reducing material in the blade profile without sacrificing its overall structural design. The Topographic Black/Parakeet Green Camo finish gives the blade a bold, highly distinctive appearance. The UV-reactive treatment adds another visual dimension to this Signature Series configuration, while the matching smooth aluminum handle carries the same topographic black and parakeet green camouflage aesthetic. The handle is precision-machined from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, helping the knife maintain a practical 3.88-ounce weight despite its robust construction. The L.U.D.T. Gen III uses a button-actuated automatic deployment system engineered for rapid, decisive operation. Its 24 silica carbide bearing pivot assembly contributes to smooth movement and responsive action. The handle incorporates 3M Traction Tape for additional grip, while the ergonomic shape provides a secure, comfortable interface for everyday carry and general utility tasks. Microtech has also refined the hardware and carry system on the Gen III platform. Torx screw construction provides straightforward access to the knife’s hardware, while the stainless-steel pocket clip supports secure tip-up, right-side carry. A dedicated lanyard hole provides another convenient carry or retention option. The combination of these features gives the 1136S-1TPBKPGCS a practical, streamlined design that remains unmistakably Microtech.
