Am I right to assume that this red PX will also be sold in the MTO store so non-members can also buy? Because some people I know who are not members might be interested to get a red PX...

From Grants comment that was posted I'd say yes they will be, but in limited numbers.
Some non members might want to prepay as well.... just thinking out loud....

Yes you are right and from my comunication with Grant I belive the preorder will be open to all. 
Just not certain how Outsiders will place the order yet. 
This is still a work in progress, so keep posting your thoughts. 
The only thing defiinate so far is the design.  That was determined by majority vote in the poll. 
Even with that there could be change as we are dealing with a manufacturer who could force a change, allthough I don't think so.

What will be written on the back? - Are we clear on that?

Multitool.org  / MTo / MT.o / Multitool 2017 / Multitool 2016 / MTo 2017 / MTO 2017 /  Multitool.org 2016 ???
I am assuming plain blade  :tu:

I'd like to know / we should decide !

OK the 2016 Pioneer X MTO tool of the year design poll results are in  :tu: and clear for the most part.
We are now talking about a
Red Pioneer X with MTO2016 on the scale plate and a key ring loop.  :climber: :gimme:
The only area of the poll that was not clear is the commitment to the project.  :poh:  Of 36 resopndents we only had 28 who made an indication as to their level of comittment to purchase at least one.

So now is the time to let Grant know if this is realy a worth while project.  :pok:

If you are 100% committed and would like to order more than 1 unit please indicate how many in a reply after voting in the poll. 
we realy need as many hard commitments as possible to keep the price in line and the project going.

Thanks and  :hatsoff: to all who voted in the last poll

Just as a reminder the details of the design arived at from the first poll are here in the opening post of this Poll / thread...

Mto2016? Dude 2017 is already almost over.
Yes,you are right.
But first please check out this link,,, https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,72592.0.html
And second we can't have a tool of the year for any year untill the following year.
It takes time, interest, and member commitment to make a custom project like this succed.
This set idle long enough and I felt was wothy enough not to be dropped so I picked up the mantle with... https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,73916.0.html
I hope others will also help to fan the flames and see this forged to compleation. 
Yes it might be a little Pricey, but it would be a very limited edition for MTo and thus increase the collectability and personal value.
 "We MTo Members designed it". How could it possibly be more"PRICELESS" than that.

Here is another quote with links to the history of the project if any one is interested.  :whistle:
It has been an adventure and I can't wait to finaly get my hands on the finished product.  :drool: :drool:

.........
Just as a reminder the details of the design arrived at from the first poll are here in the opening post of this Poll / thread...

Thanks Douglas ....... Can I propose a very minor change ......

MTo 2016  or at least   MTO  2016   - ie a space (or two) and maybe a small 'o'


EDIT: Looking at the post just now I think this is best:

MTO 2016 - one space all caps

I would vote for "2017", but I know the project has been tossed around since 2016.

Something like MTO 2017 on the back is cool- can we use the same font from "Multitool.org" at the top of the website??

Maybe Victorinox can make it a numbered series too on the blade or toplifter...

Huntsman,
I looked back at the last poll and your last suggestion is actually what was voted for,  MTO 2016. All caps with a single space, so good eye. 
Thanks for the catch.

Thanks for the input BH
I like your ideas and think things like them may be more doable on feature projects.
This being our first collaberation with Victorinox it will be easiest to keep things as simple as possible and still have a unique tool.
After we prove ourselves to Vic' more complex design requests will be easier and more accepted.
Hope I don't sound like a downer because I realy do like the Ideas.
I also think that Mto'ers will get more excited after they see the first compleated project and be more supportive of bigger ones in the future.
Consider this as laying the foundation for great things to come...

Well, consider that it is a limited run, custom. Value may appreciate over time....for people who appreciate that kinda thing. To me $65 seems about right, especially for a one-off model as nice as the PX.

A regular one costs around $ 40

The black, blue and red LCSAS ones cost almost $ 80.

So around $ 65 for the MT.o one doesn't sound that steep to me  :cheers:

So, any of you brave enough to buy one and USE it?  Mine will probably become my new EDC, replacing my current silver PX.   Umm, I might buy a second for a shelf queen. Haha!!!

I'll make that pledge.  I'm pretty sure I can find a SAK or 2 to sell to come up with the bread...

That would be a helluva EDC :D
