I can't say for sure KN, but it looks suspiciously similar to clones I've seen at www.dhgate.com , and, www.aliexpress.com , both completely safe links I provide cuz I don't know how to transfer their online pictures over here. Once on their homepages, enter "ludt knives" in their search boxes and various listings come up. That's a really nice group you posted! 8)

I have had several clones from CH . The one you have looks to be real. The reason I say this is because of the scales. The gun grip checkering I have not seen in any of the clones . The clones have 4 stripe's or grooves cut into the handle similar to the Benchmade knives. Blade markings are another key. I'll try to post you some pics of the fakes , but you can find them online to. Search elmax steel blades .
Also the date and serial number. The clones are dated 2017 which is the year they hit the market in online sales. The date gives me satisfaction the blade is actually a Micro-tech.
