Microtech LUDT Stonewashed Elmax Plain Edge Black Automatic Knife 135-10

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 straightforward drop point blade of stonewashed finished Bohler Elmax and a grooved, black, 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 for daily cutting tasks. Notching on the crowned spine creates a comfortable thumb ramp. High performance Elmax stainless steel is delivered with a rugged, stonewashed finish and individually serialized and dated on the front of the blade. Shaving sharp the blade deploys via an automatic coil spring mechanism. Simply press the button 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.

Handle: Constructed of aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum creating lightweight dependability and black finished. It has a slightly 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 nylon lanyard is attached for added security.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, stainless steel pocket clip.

Bohler Elmax: Bohler Elmax is a popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its excellent edge retention. Elmax has similar performance to the American S30V with a slight improvement in corrosion resistance and toughness.
