Microtech LUDT review
Most of us probably won’t get the chance to go on a search and rescue mission to ensure the safety of human life, but the Microtech LUDT isn’t just for hardcore Navy SEALS, or the original UDT Frogmen. It’s still a very capable EDC knife for general use and everyday working people. It’s got an […]
