Microtech LUDT Ram-Lok S/E Knife Natural Clear Frag Aluminium, Apocalyptic M390MK by Tony Marfione (1135RL-10APFRNC)

Microtech LUDT RAM-LOK S/E Natural Clear Frag Aluminum, Apocalyptic M390MK by Tony Marfione – manual folding knife with RAM-LOK lock

The Microtech LUDT RAM-LOK 1135RL-10APFRNC is a manual folding knife featuring a Drop Point blade made of Böhler M390MK steel with an Apocalyptic finish and a Natural Clear aluminum handle with a Frag Pattern milled design. The design utilizes the RAM-LOK® lock, ball bearings, and thumb studs on both sides, combining a full-size format with comfortable, symmetrical handling.

The LUDT RAM-LOK expands Microtech’s signature line into the realm of manual folding knives with more versatile mechanics. The 87.63 mm blade offers a handy size for everyday use, while the milled 6061-T6 aluminum handle improves grip. The ambidextrous tip-up clip and RAM-LOK® make it easy to adapt the knife for both right- and left-handed users.

Böhler M390MK – steel with high edge retention

The blade is made of Böhler M390MK stainless steel, which offers high corrosion resistance, excellent edge retention, and high wear resistance. In a utility knife, these properties perform well when regularly cutting everyday materials. The flat grind supports smooth blade guidance and functional cutting geometry.

Drop Point – a versatile blade profile

The Drop Point profile combines a gently sloping spine with a distinctly defined yet well-controlled tip. This geometry works well for a wide range of tasks, from precise scoring to longer cuts made with the main portion of the edge. As a result, the LUDT RAM-LOK retains the versatile character of an EDC folder.

Apocalyptic Finish

The blade features an Apocalyptic finish, which gives the surface a matte, irregular appearance with a distinctly rugged character. This aesthetic complements the LUDT’s mechanical form and the Frag milling on the handle, emphasizing the technical nature of the entire design.

6061-T6 Aluminum and Frag Pattern

The handle is made of 6061-T6 aluminum with a Natural Clear finish. Its surface features the Frag Pattern, which adds texture and improves the grip. The natural metallic hue contrasts well with the Apocalyptic blade and gives the design a more rugged, technical look.

RAM-LOK® and Ball bearings

RAM-LOK® is a double-sided transverse lock that allows for convenient blade release from both sides of the handle. The pivot operates on ball bearings, which ensures smooth blade movement during opening and closing. This design suits the manual nature of this LUDT version well.

Dual Thumb Studs – Ambidextrous Operation

The blade is opened manually using dual thumb studs, which are thumb studs on both sides. Combined with the RAM-LOK® lock, this design ensures symmetrical operation and allows for comfortable use of the knife with either the right or left hand.

Ambidextrous Tip-Up Clip

The steel clip can be mounted on the right or left side of the handle in a tip-up configuration. This allows you to adjust how you carry the knife to match your dominant hand, further enhancing the ambidextrous nature of the design.
