    I now have a natural clear in addition to the black that I commented on a couple of months ago - wow - I can’t say enough about this knife - it’s amazing! I was never a traction tape fan until I bought an auto Socom Elite - you get excellent feel and grip “traction” and of the material gets worn or damaged, it’s a breeze to drop a new piece in its place - it’s perfect for a knife!

    • @Rollshambo

      That's awesome! My ludt gen 3 is still one of my favorite knives I've purchased this year...and I'm not even big into automatic knives😂 I guess there's always exceptions after all...that said, microtech needs to release a manual version of this knife stat..that would be next level

  • @Jason-mb7gk
    @Jason-mb7gk 5 місяців тому +3

    Got the tanto version today. Loving it! Was a little worried that it might be too small because I’m use to carrying bigger knives. It is smaller than what I’m used to but it’s not bad at all. Looking forward to carrying it!

    Does this have longer scales than the last model? I have the second generation and it feels like hot garbage. It’s too small, it jams my fingers together! .

  • @DavidV4444
    @DavidV4444 6 місяців тому

    No knife will ever surpass my Large Inkosi, Midi Marauder and Slim Midi Marauder - those for me are the pantheon, never to be challenged or beaten by anything ever. That said, I have the black version of the LUDT, will get the Tan - wow, what an incredible knife. This will serve as my secondary and frankly with the blade shape, scales and titanium back spacer, this knife for under $300 is unbelievable.

    • @optimuscrime608
      @optimuscrime608 6 місяців тому

      large inkosi and large Sebenza in 63+ Magnacut is arguably the best pocket knife in existence 😊

    • @DavidV4444
      @DavidV4444 6 місяців тому

      I agree - expertly Crafted in the USA, a perfect Magnacut heat treatment, those large washers make the Chris Reeve knives so much better than anyone else in terms of securing the blade, very thin behind the edge, lifetime warranty and lifetime spa service that restores your knife to new if you wish for less than $30 - incredible IMO!

    The Gen 3 is quite nice and I like the changes they made, particularly the overall shape and the standardized hardware. I have an older LUDT from 2012 and those special bolts are a real PITA to manipulate, even with the appropriate tool. My main wish for that series is that Microtoech would offer a version that gets rid of the encyclopedia of printed garbage on the blade. The billboarding bothered me so much (though I loved the knife) that I completely refinished the blade on mine to strip the DLC and sand out all that dumb text.

  • @I_Might_B_Wrong
    @I_Might_B_Wrong 3 дні тому

    IMO the LUDT is the best auto knife ever made. It's an incredible EDC for anyone who can legally carry an auto. Slices incredibly well. I'm looking forward to picking up a Gen III to accompany my well loved Gen II.

  • @FoOkDoOsLe
    @FoOkDoOsLe 6 місяців тому +4

    • @Rollshambo

      Yeah personal preference for me is shorter clips and I like a clean look on a scale as opposed to a lanyard hole I won't use but I could see those preferences being different for someone that does add a lanyard🍻

    Nice blade!! IMO though, the last 2nd gens from late 2023 were the best of the bunch. They have the bearings, torx hardware, and no stupid looking grip tape. The cleanest design of all. That's just my opinion though, and 3rd gen is quite fantastic.

    People like to rag on Microtech pricing because they can't afford it. I think however you are 100%...this company has very decent pricing for what they offer. Starts to drop off when you get into signature series items but if you're getting into that realm price shouldn't be a problem.
