This was a bit of a surprise- I wasn't expecting to meet "the Man" himself at the show, but lo and behold there he was!

Naturally, we had to get a picture!

You're with Tim Leatherman!!!

Wow, guys that's really cool. What did he say to you guys. Did he know about multitool.org

Benner · **Reply #3 on:** February 03, 2008, 09:26:29 AM

Great little momento to guys have there.

I'll bet you were shocked!

silentio · **Reply #5 on:** February 03, 2008, 02:54:04 PM

Wow... nice. What did you say to him?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #6 on:** February 03, 2008, 03:42:22 PM

Bob wasn't very nice to him at all- in fact, this is the fourth picture we'd taken as Bob kept making faces and sticking up his fingers behind Tim Leatherman's head...

Just kidding- he seemed like a really nice guy, but we met up with him about 5 minutes before the end of the show so we didn't get much of a chance to talk to him.

And if you think that's a great memento, wait till you see what's in store for today!

Come on then, out with it!

I'd hate to say what it is and take a chance on it falling through... but if it works out it will be tres cool!

Let's just say it will become a great Multitool.org heirloom!

You actually STOLE Tim Leathermans' watch as you shook his hand?!?!?!

WoW, very nice boss, can't wait to hear your announcement! (please don't let it be Tim's boxers...)

Leatherman123 · **Reply #15 on:** February 03, 2008, 06:37:38 PM

Tim Leatherman is by far the coolest person in American History!!

Oh, I thought you were quoting Tim Leatherman here, Def.

He's lucky to meet supporters such as yourself, a rep of Multitool.org! BTW, they always hold that show in the same place?

NeitherExtreme · **Reply #17 on:** February 04, 2008, 02:11:32 AM

Neat! Did you ask him what tool he was carrying?

Blasphemy!

Actually I almost joked in my post that it was probably a Spirit... If he did, would that make the VicFans think more or less of LM?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #21 on:** February 04, 2008, 07:50:30 AM

How is this for an heirloom?

Def

silentio · **Reply #22 on:** February 04, 2008, 08:09:35 AM

Nice! Wow... that's really nice of him. It's not like he could have just taken out a marker and gave you his autograph. That's some effort.

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #23 on:** February 04, 2008, 08:11:18 AM

Bob and I also got him to autograph some PST's that we got at the show. They were selling the PST's to support the National Shooting Sports Federation which is the organization that runs the SHOT Show.

That's really cool Def. Something to hold on to forever. What did he think of the multitool.org scales?

Tim told us he was honored that we would go to such great lengths to customize one of his tools. Being familiar with the difficulties of manufacturing, he of course realized the challanges of reverse-dimensioning the new scales, machining them from solid aluminum, anodizing, and laser etching the logo. We had originally requested that he autograph the tool directly on the green scales, but Tim felt that this might result in chipping or damaging the anodize layer. It was his suggestion to autograph the blade instead, which of course came out fine. (lets face it, the man does know his multitools!)

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #27 on:** February 04, 2008, 09:12:21 AM

This awful, I really feel like I'm missing out by not being there

That's a great story Bob.
