Really other than the price I really the tread/watch. There is NO other company that I know of, that has made anything like that. I think so many people don't like it because it's new.

I do like the look of the Spyderco Roadie.

The watch/bracelet thing just doesn't look practical to me at all. You're going to need so much clearance round anything to use it and the guy in the video listed a load of things he wanted to do with a knife in Disneyland that I can't see being practical to do with the Tread. There's also going to be a huge amount of torsion put on all the links.

Spyderco is looking good. I want a Roadie so bad! I know they have been available for a little while now.




I like the look of the Roadie as well.  :)

That Shotgun reminds me a lot like the Kel-Teg KSG.

Won't that rubber knob used for opening the blade be in the way when slicing?

I like the folding-bowie :tu:

There is no rubber knob, the blade is plain. There is the small spyder hole and the depression closer to the tip, that act as a nail nick.

Ahh, you are right. Re-watched it in full screen mode, I really though there was some plastic there :facepalm:

Same. Reminds of an edgier looking cryo. Except perfectly over built.

Weareable multitools have been out there for a while... Maybe not exactly bracelets but necklaces, rings, belt buckles, sandals, even sunglasses !  8)

Some of them made by reputable companies like Wenger ( Hype X ). But doesn't appear that it worked so well for them either.  :whistle:

There are other mts. But nothing with this many "tools" (or excuses for tools)

Especially out in the open like a watch band. You shake someone's hand (where I'm from) and they won't know your ring had a knife in it.

They will definetly see a watch like that

Looks like the Kershaw Shuffle II addresses the issues with the Shuffle.  It is officially on my want list. Now...tan or black...or maybe both.  :whistle:

After much deliberation, I can safely say there is not one single multitool announced this years which has interested me. Not one! The only product I have seen that I liked the look of is a Gerber knife which will be too expensive when released in the UK

I would therefore like to thank all this year's exhibitors for making it so much easier to not spend much money on tools, knives or anything else related to this forum in 2015  :cheers:

I love how the pocket clip is designed in such a way that you can't use it without pressing the button for releasing the pliers :P

I know right.  :facepalm: If you want to carry it in your right front pocket like the clip looks optimized to do and you accidentally hit the button it will launch the pliers and handle into your....... uhh...... tool you never leave home without.
