Shard To Be Released in 2010

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #60 on:** August 08, 2009, 02:32:17 AM

The email I got from Gerber today said they won't be released until February 2010.

Consider yourself lucky.

I'm out here visiting in Idaho and I just picked up four Shard's. Are they hitting the streets early? I think they are really cool, but I still feel they are a direct copy of an Atwood XL mini Prybaby.

Yes, I agree that they are awfully similar. I still desperately want one though!

I see the need for a budget Atwood tool and I think the Shard fits that bill nicely. I just think they would have given credit to Peter for the Shard. I also think that Peter should make a tool that everyone can afford. These are just my opinions, so please dont take anything too personal.

No worries. I basically agree with you.

Morally, I think Peter deserved something. Gerber should have gotten his permission first or come up with a radically different design.

I do wish Peter made some budget tools, but he is free to do what he wants. Who knows - maybe he is happy the Shard is out there so people stop bugging him about his prices!

An excerpt from an email I got from my contact at Gerber:

On a somewhat related note, you’ll be happy to hear that we’re FINALLY going to have the infamous Shard as an in-line product for 2010! I think at some point you and I talked about a limited run as a promotional item for you. If that’s the case, at least moving forward it’ll be more of a possibility. Let me know what you think.

The big question is, how many of you think you'd want a Multitool.org Shard?

Def

Is this still happening Def or has it happened?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #76 on:** January 05, 2010, 04:12:56 PM

Since the Shard has yet to be officially released, it has yet to happen. I'll be speaking with the fine folks at Gerber in about two weeks, and I will also be checking with another laser etching company I know and trying to arrange the best deal I can for members. With something like this, the hard part is distribution. For a sub $10 item, there is shipping form the supplier to a distribution point, then on to the members, which can increase the price of the item significantly.

However, given the response so far, I can pretty much guarantee that within the next month or two we'll be placing an order for as many Multitool.org Shards as we have the budget to support.
