Microtech LUDT Blue Partially Serrated Black M390 Automatic Knife 135-2BL

The L.U.D.T. (Large Underwater Demolition Team) out the side automatic knife model from Microtech has been a favorite among Spec Ops and first responders for nearly 20 years. This version features a partially serrated drop point blade of Black Coated M390 and a grooved Blue anodized, aircraft grade aluminum handle.

Brand new, direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The shape of the LUDT is all about utility, offering just over three inches of cutting edge and a piercing pointy tip. It's great for everyday slicing, slashing and penetration cuts whenever called upon. A little over an inch of notching on the crowned spine creates a welcomed thumb ramp. Built from high performance, Bohler M390 stainless steel with a durable, non-reflective, black poly-ceramic Cerakote the edge is razor sharp with a section of serrations for making fast work of fibrous materials. The blade deploys fast and smooth with a press of the button on the front scale near the pivot. Press it in again and fold the blade back in to close.

Handle: The handle is constructed of Blue anodized, aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum for lightweight dependability. It has a slightly notched finger choil below the pivot along with machined grooves and jimping strategically placed to ensure a solid grip in any environment. The LUDT is fitted with Microtech's proprietary hardware and pocket clip. A small black nylon lanyard is attached for added security.

Each LUDT is individually serialized and dated on the front of the blade.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its extreme edge retention. M390 also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid problems by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is its ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
