LUDT Gen III Topographic Black/Pink
The Microtech L.U.D.T. (Large Underwater Demolition Team) Gen III traces its lineage to Microtech's first knife, the UDT, which was built with an action strong enough to deploy underwater. Thirty years later, the Gen III is the most refined version of that original design. Push the button and the 3.5" M390MK drop point blade fires out the side with a snappy, authoritative action powered by 24 silica carbide bearings in the pivot assembly. To close, press the button and fold the blade back against the spring manually. The button lock secures the blade in the open position and prevents accidental deployment when closed.
This configuration runs a Topographic Black/Pink aluminum handle and standard Torx hardware throughout. Steel tip-up pocket clip. 3.5" blade, 8.0" overall, 3.6 oz. Made in North Carolina. Limited lifetime warranty.
Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The LUDT Gen III in Topo Black/Pink is the outdoor-leaning version of this configuration. The pink adds a natural tone to the topographic pattern. 24 silica carbide bearings, M390MK, side-opening push button, North Carolina made.
