I have a new Shard on the way and I am really looking forward to it. It looks pretty cool!Def
The Artifact is a bit longer but Iknow what you mean A bigger Shard would be awesome Plus I would prefer a hex driver in place of the hole in it

Maybe they don't consider it important enough to update their site?Their IT guys seem to have been a bit busy lately with another project. Def
I'm not crazy about the Xacto blade with the Artifact.

So they are identical and the only difference is color? Interesting. I was under the impression that the design had been tweaked a bit.Def

Has anyone noticed the difference in tine length from the original version years ago till now? Today's Shard has significantly longer tines which I find way more desirable...That said can someone tell me why gerber still pictures the older version??

Of awl my tine on MTO, THAT has got to be my favorite pun!!!!
Speak of the devil....The package with the Shard in it arrived safe and sound today.I'll have to dig out one of my Shards and do a side by side comparison- it might be the color, but it does seem a bit more elongated and angled than I recall. Def

So is the black version painted or BO?I kind of want a silver one now. Got to support the industry, right?
And the answer is in!(Image removed from quote.)The tines on the new Shard are indeed noticeably longer than the old one.(Image removed from quote.)Or rather, they are cut deeper. The entire tool is exactly as long as the previous model, and the angles are identical as well. You can lay them right on top of each other and they nest in perfectly.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)Def
OK so I found one of those Gerber knife/Shard kits@ Wal-Mart and just had to get it since the finish is different than any of the ones I have ever had First one is my EDC Shard and it's very nice worn look as that is exactly what it is, completely worn off black finish and I love the look Next is one I carry on the weekends so the finish is pretty well still intact and now we have the newest edition One that is very similar to my worn one by the grey color is not as shiny as mine Still I think I this color to start out with but I think that the black one will have the best end product with all the lettering and nooks and crannys still with the black on them Either way I am happy with the newest Shard that I have 20161112_195401 by Poncho 65, on Flickr
