Microtech LUDT Satin Part Serrated CTS-204P OD Green Automatic Knife 135-5OD

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 satin finished, partially serrated drop point blade of CTS-204P and a grooved OD Green aircraft grade aluminum handle. 

Brand new item direct from Microtech Knives, USA.

Blade: The shape of the LUDT is all about utility offering just over three inches of partially serrated cutting edge and a piercing pointy tip. It's great for every day slicing, slashing, tearing or penetration cuts whenever called upon.  A little over an inch of notching on the crowned spine creates a welcomed thumb ramp. Built from premium, American CTS-204P stainless steel with a satin finish on the grind and tumbled flats the blade is shaving sharp from the start and deploys 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. 

Handle: Constructed of OD Green anodized, aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum creating lightweight dependability. 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 gray proprietary hardware and pocket clip. A small black lanyard is attached. 

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

CTS-204P: A highly wear resistant, powder metallurgy stainless tool steel, the steel contains a large volume of extremely hard vanadium carbides which provide excellent wear resistance. CTS-204P has some of the highest chromium content of a high-vanadium stainless steel currently available. The chromium-rich matrix provides outstanding corrosion resistance. Analogs to CTS-204P include CPM-20CV and Bohler M390.
