Also you have the Spyderco Spyerench listed as 2007 , is'nt this pretty much of a reissue ? It's original introduction was as you noted in 1999 .

I agree. 2007 listing has been removed.

Perhaps we should keep the 2007 listing and just mark it as a reissue?  Technically they were discontinued and re-introduced, which seems like a fairly valuable piece of info for the collector.

...a better idea yet. 2007 SpydeRench is back in, marked (reissue)

I notice that you listed the Buck navigator in 2001 , but it was not offically presented ( and then never offically introduced or released to the public , I believe that should be added as a footnote to that listing  ) until the 2002 SHOT show.


Good lord, how did I screw that up?  :P

Navigator is now listed in 2002

How about the Loggerhead Immix 20x, was'nt that 2006 ?

Are special issues such as the Lady Leatherman , Australian issue leathermans or the leatherman pro to be considered/listed ?


Loggerhead 10X added in 2006 thanks!

Leatherman Juice Pro is already listed in 2002.

I don't know when the others were introduced?  ???

Did we ever get around to putting this on the Multitool Encyclopedia?  This seems like exactly the kind of thing we should have posted there...

But those first SAK dates...seem like they belong in a SAK-only time line.  :-\

I'm surprised at how early the Swisstool is - 97!

I guess I didn't really get into Brand Name multis in a big way until Leatherman released their new line in ought-four.

Anyway,

Interesting that the Swisstool, probably a direct competitor to the LM Supertool hit the market, then after than LM hit back with their Juice/Squirts to take on the smaller, soft-curved tool carrying market, then Vic scaled back with their Spirit to take the Juices (and waves?) on directly!

1999 LM Flair + Vic AutoTool released , must have been some Industrial designers & Project leaders looking for new jobs in 99 :D. Maybe Gerbil I mean Gerber hired them & the seeds of the Suspension were sowed :D

I meant it as a joke, one guy making a few here and there whenever he has the time would be very challenging for a timeline.
