    I currently own 3 of the previous generation LUDTs. I would’ve had 4 but I gifted one to my cousin as a wedding gift, as hard as that was. Absolutely my favorite knife of all time. With that being said, I do not plan on buying one of these new ones. I much prefer the aesthetics of the older gen. Don’t like the looks of those grippy traction inlays.

    I love the titanium back spacer on this knife - Microtech could have saved a good bit of money by using standoffs or aluminum or steel but went the extra mile as they have on almost of their new knives.

    Just picked up a gen 2 from a local gun shop. I didn't even know there was a gen 3. They had 2 in stock. The display model had some blade play, but the other was rock solid. I bought it on the spot because i liked it, and then came to do some research on it. Come to find out these are hard to come by, and highly sought after. I know where there is one more lol, although suffering from some blade wiggle...

    I bought mine after I saw your unboxing! I’ve been carrying it exclusively for almost a month now and I love it. I usually carry Sebenza 21 Insingo or a Para2. I’m a big fan of the LUDT3 I would say most of the issues like the clip, traction insert under the clip and the jimping all non issues after carrying. The only issue I have found is a little lock stick. I have a December production date.

    I really wish this was on washers. I can’t get behind a knife being hard use with bearings. Especially down in florida. Once sand gets in it it’s toast until you break it apart and clean it and if you don’t the grit will damage the bearings.

  • @landontreinen3062
    @landontreinen3062 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Leaving a comment 30 seconds into the review because I already know it’s a good knife.
    I absolutely hate this design aesthetically. That being said, I can’t stop giving these guys the praise they deserve for their performance in 2023 and providing the enthusiast community with knives that are actually aimed at enthusiasts, and at a fair price as well.
    Nobody is more surprised and pleased by this move more than me. I have a very well documented history of dumping on Microtech and Tony Marfione specifically in the MC comments section, but since they debuted the RAM-LOK, I cant help but give it up to them.
    Well done, Microtech.
