Microtech LUDT Red Standard Automatic Knife 135-1RD

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 black straightforward drop point blade and a grooved Red aircraft grade aluminum handle. 

Brand new item direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

The 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 every day 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 premium edge retaining M390 super steel with a tactical non-reflective black coated finish. Shaving sharp from the start and firing via a single push button actuator. Simply press the button on the front scale near the pivot to deploy the blade out the side of the handle. Press it in again and fold the blade back in to close. The action is smooth and fast. 

The Handle: Constructed of aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum creating lightweight dependability and red anodize finished. It has a slight notched finger choil below the pivot along with machined grooves and notches abound to ensure a solid grip in any environment. The LUDT is fitted with Microtech's black proprietary hardware and pocket clip. A small black lanyard is attached. 

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