Some Bad News
on: December 12, 2012, 11:06:21 PM
Hello everyone,

I have some bad news to share with you- for the first time in several years, Multitool.org will have no official presence at SHOT.  One of the gentlemen I work with has had an accident that required corrective surgery and he will be out of action for several months.  As there are only three of us in the company this represents a huge percentage of our workforce. 

As Bob also has some work issues keeping him from spending time on these forums, he is also unable to find the time necessary to go to Las Vegas.

I'm truly sorry this has happened, and we'll be sure to keep in contact with all of our friends with the various companies to bring you the latest news as soon as we can.

It's a damn shame boss, but we shall no doubt all gather info to share here, Ben without you're first hand reportage :)

As for Bob, the girls will miss him!

Sorry to hear this too.  The SHOT coverage leads to some of my favorite threads.  I'm going to see if I can arrange to make a bit of SHOT next year. It's tough for me because of the farm, but maybe if I play nice... :D

Bring the horses along Nate- I'm sure they (and the rest of us) would appreciate a nice ride through the mountains and desert!  :D

Ok, ok, ok. Just buy me an airplane ticket and book a hotel for me and I will sacrifice myself for the team and go to SHOT  :angel:

Just to update this thread, it is confirmed, we will have SHOT coverage after all!  Neither Bob nor I are going, but another member has stepped up to fill the void.  Huge thanks to Bruce909 for filling in for us and to Wenger for helping us get his pass this late in the game!

I did bring a PST a early POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL model and my 25th Anniversary Wave signed by Tim Leatherman when we were at Leatherman in Oct. 2011.
