This week we reached out to Microtech for comment on the new Kershaw Natrix, the latest salvo in a clash between KAI-USA Ltd, maker of Kershaw and Zero Tolerance Knives, and Anthony Marfione’s Microtech that dates back to at least 2011. Yesterday, Microtech Knives provided KnifeNews with a written response to the Natrix and the […]
