This was about as honest review as I've seen on a knife. Testing on camera, no screen cuts. I already have one and its amazing. I have considered getting another for the other pocket. They are worth every single penny.

Why this channel is so underrated?

I literally 100% thought the batoning would have broke the knife. Especially the trunicating cut. That's absolutely insanely impressive!! Great review man!

The LUDT is a little beast of a knife. Thanks for taking the time to torture it. Great job Microtech!

That was an excellent review and test. I just got one of those in CTS XHP. I am really impressed by its edge geometry. It is thinner than any Spyderco I have at 0.009”-0.010” behind the cutting edge.

Expect nothing but the best from their knives and their KZfaq videos are starting off pretty good huge fan have 3 microtechs and counting

Protip for staining treated lumber.(you said you bought the wood a week ago and already stained it). Dont stain pressure treated for at least a couple weeks(if not months depending your climate) after purchase. Drop water onto the lumber and if it beads up, its not ready to stain. If it sucks in the water, it is ready. This is why the stain on your lumber looks to be surface coated only....i would worry about how long your finish where installed will last. (maybe a year max...it will start popping and flaking off as soon as the treat inside the lumber starts to push it's way out). With that said, I just bought a LUDT. This is awesome.

I have watched this several times!! Got one on the way and am getting stoked!!!!

For what I use a knife for it will never go dull ...... great video microtech!

Thanks for sharing your videos...great job. just ordered my first L.U.D.T. can’t wait Merlot red..with black blade.

This dude is the real deal. He’s got all the knowledge and he’s smart. Also knows how to talk to a camera. I love the Microtech videos.. their OTFs and Folders are my favorite knifes on earth. Above the CR and super knives even.

This is the best torture testing I've seen, period. Less the Chipmunks effect, edit a voiceover for the 2x parts🗡️👍

Awesome 👍 great test. Will be purchasing one of these.

These tests are impressive. I have seen some “heavy duty” knives batoned at a angle like you did, completely fail. Very nice.

I love the LUDT and have 3 of them. They came incredible sharp out of the box and are great quality knives.

I’ve been collecting from a lot of the major knife manufacturers and here lately have been wanting another knife. My Ultratech that I’ve had for 2.5 years has left such a good impression on me that I don’t really want to buy anything other than a Microtech. This LUDT is looking like it’s going to fit the bill.

First Microtech I ever owned... Jedi knight model when they first came out, so guess this was 2016-2017? Been hooked ever since!! Crazy for awhile I thought I wad the only guy that liked multiple knifes lol bought my first high end knife back in 1998 had 2 both got stolen, that's how nice they was you could tell they wasn't corner store knifes and was razor sharp...I learned after that to never leave expensive knifes laying around when you got contractors walking in and out your place..

Yasssssss mine with red scales and black serrated blade just shipped from pvk Vegas. Can’t wait to get it 💪🏻💪🏻

Nice video. Straight up. Suggestion: make a ca legal version short blade. I have two ca legal otf already,..love them!

awesome knife. crazy test.

Thanks for posting great videos.

Niesamowity test , super

I would be interested in seeing what that pivot pin looks like now. And of course if it was to break during your test you'd be without a knife. Has that ever happened during one of your tests?

Nice video, thanks a lot

Awesome video!

Love my LUDTs. This makes me feel way better about the disability of it, though I've already put mine through a lot lol. Was kind of hoping you'd stab it into the board and carve through it, as in your Socom test.

I relocating to West Virginia and I would love to come by and see your operations.

1:52 how ironic to mention a benchmade

Still has the sand in there you say but what happened to where you washed and oiled it after being in the rocks and dirt

My kershaws all, just did the same thing with no lockout issue at all dry or not...? They cost between 50 to 160 ish dollars. And the speed assist works great for the past 12 years. Not hating just stating that not quite as expensive knives can do the same and I even did the nail test on them and my cerakote is still in great condition as well. Love my ultratech but my kershaws are still my go to knives for side openers. Looks like a good knife for sure though ❤ they always make a good quality knife that's for sure.

Can that proprietary pivot pin be replaced with a Torx pivot pin? Do they sell the pivot pin tool to losen or tighten that pin. I kind of tired of their proprietary stuff. I man should be able to adjust the pin on his knife without having to send it back. I see they've fixed that issue on the SOCOM.

Ugh it hurts me to watch lol but outstanding, this is what I like to see, this knife is sick I just orderd an ultratech looks like I'm gonna start collection different microtechs

About the only time I'd ever pick a Benchmade over a Microtech is with the AFOII 9051 vs the LUDT. Have beat the snot out of my 9051SBK for around 15 years now and its still the main knife I fly with (Mil flying). I still want a Scarab 2 something crazy though! Probably my favorite knife period.

Awesome video Glad I got one!

What kind of steel is on this blade? I put one on lay away at bladehq, they are hard to get .

VERY IMPRESSIVE ‼️👍👍

Awsome test!

What about blade play after your tests? I just bought a Lutd today. I won't obviously put it thru what u just did however I'm just curious

One question, it's spring safe on water or need to avoid salt water?

Shooting the blade was incredible

Is this the version with the Bohler M390 material steel blade?

Awesome video! I supported subscribed. What kind of watch are you wearing?

Very awesome video. Also saw the video for the Ultratech OTF. I wonder how many of these knives have sold simply because of this video or ones like it? I honestly can't wait to get a couple of MicroTech knives. Thanks Ray!

What type of watch are you wearing?

Hell of a review

Excellent. Just ordered the black handle/ apocalyptic bronze from blade bar in Texas. Want it so bad paid 32.90 for next day air. Now the short wait game. Super stoked about a replacement for my Gerber auto 06

Pretty sure the mallet will fail before the knife does lol.

Make sure more vids. If your looking for some content look at the Thompson / Cold Steel videos. I bet there is one out of a 1000 worth recreating with a MT knife.

Signed up for the first responder program and they told me a 6 month wait for an LUDT which is horrible to be honest and 6 weeks for a Socom Elite manual. I would think their would more priority for first responders?!?

Can you buy these online ? We don’t have any dealers in Australia.

Is the test knife ELMAX or M390 steel?

Hopefully no one needs to warranty their knife in 12 years or so. I have a 2008 Ultratech, I called asking about paying them to replace the blade and broken main spring. They won't do it because it's too told. So apparently "lifetime" really means "until we change the geometry" or "until we decide it's too old". I distinctly buying a product with a lifetime warranty. I have other Microtechs that old and older that are still operating, so they're still within their lifetime. I've spent thousands on Microtech products and was about to spend more. However, I will NEVER purchase another one of their products again after the girl I talked to told said they can't help me.

This guy works for microtech, let's be honest, they are great knives, I own many, let's be a stand up company microtech.

What kind of watch do you wear? That thing is wonderful.

I think the udt was the first knife that Tony Marfinoe made. I really like the Udt series...the Ludt more.

Great video, I love my LUDT. What blade steel is this one? Mine is M390.

You should do a video of all your knives you own.

Wow microtech

Are you ever going to make an auto in titanium?

Dang that’s pretty impressive.

Christ! I know what I’m getting next!

I absolutely love Microtech knives design and feel, and I have many of their knives. But I feel like there’s something up with this video. I have an LUDT with a snapped tip just from piercing a thin piece of aluminum?? And a Dirac also with a broken tip from penetrating a piece of wood. Not only that but they seem to dull a lot quicker than what is displayed here and on the HALO video. I do love my HALO though feels extremely solid although I haven’t put it through any kind of field use.

Yes!!!

That mouse sound is fun :-D

I've seen a lot of LUDT's with blade play. Has this changed over the years?

The lock clearly fails at 6:20, your hand is not on the button and you manage to close the knife

What steel is that model made with. I'm guessing m390?

Reminds me of my Benchmade Autostryker.

cant recall, did you wreck a halo yet? hahahaaa

Love my LUDT!

LUDT very well

Love my elmax ludt

Weres the video on the ultratech??

Sounds like somebody was hitting the helium...lol

Its 2022 and I cant even find one of these and you're out trying to kill the one That could be mine!!

Какая тут марка стали ?

NICE"....

Any chance you all will produce a manual version?

And Ray has sold me a new knife. I placed my order today with Corey. Now I wait.............

How do I lube and oil it? Just got one 😊

what if it gets wet? dropped in water etc

I’m sold, but will a manual open be coming out?

I’ll always pick up some side work and do it for free just because i love the brand and grew up with it and maybe tip me with a knife here and there👍

AKB needs a mallet, I think he needs to step it up.

Despite being called Large UDT, it's actually not that big

這款LUDT台灣買不到。

If a woodchuck could chuck wood how much wood would a chipmunk chuck?

5:42 sacrilege...

Lock fail 2 times after you buried it. Your fingers were not near the button and it folded. Should at least tap the dirt out first. Benchmade does a similar test with their autos, see afo2

4 years late, but, you were hitting the knife and testing the lock whilst holding the knife in a gloveless hand and holding the hammer with a glove. Was this a fashion choice.

The thugs around here won’t carry an auto knife because it’s easier to get an auto Glock 🤣

Ole m390 doing it's chipping thang. Try a elmax microtech?

I have got to stop watching your videos. We are on lock down because of the virus and you just caused me to order another microtech. Seriously I have been looking at that very one. Microtech is not responding to my email can you ballpark how long the turn around for warranty is during favorable times? Thanks for reply 👍

Under Water Demolition not Under Gravel Demolition.

Totally serious btw. Let me know have a blessed day buddies

The real test is use it everyday for a few months cutting tape, cardboard, paper, and see what happens, the mighty Spyderco's all show bent tips...from LC200N-Maxamet....my MT/Borkas look as new as a newborn baby from the first day to the last...

Impressive (!) BUT Maybe the best automatic knife in the world is nothing worth if it is not available to order from Germany, at the EU oder from a American Website. So long... I could watch some stuff for the NASA and it's still the same, cause I can not buy it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love your knives and have since a kid and use them for both my Companies as my EDC but and that’s a huge but lmao don’t quit your day jobs forsure lol all the videos have horrible Video editing and producing it’s kinda hard to watch. But love the knives! And you guys seem awesome!

my GF dropped my LUDT about 5 inches above our kitchen counter. the tip broke off.

What makes that brand worth so much money? My 20 dollar buck knife can do that just as easy and it don't cost hundreds. What are you paying for with microtech?
