Ti scales coming soon?

I'd like a knifeless version for work.Yeah, open or closed, it seems there's an uncomfortable and unnecessary pointy bit that'll dig into your palm

I don't really like the scales anyway.Of course one shouldn't have to...
Yeah .... you could fix the ergos of the handles, and you could fix the cutters so they don't encroach on the main gripping area .... but to be honest, I've grown tired of buying stuff that I need to finish off or correct
Honestly I would love to see Al in the R&D or testing departments of any and all manufacturers.....

After all of these years I am surprised we aren't seeing manufacturers come us more for testing and evaluation.
Quote from: Grant Lamontagne on October 14, 2017, 01:37:34 AMAfter all of these years I am surprised we aren't seeing manufacturers come us more for testing and evaluation.Look at the two threads for least and most favorite SAK tools: I think we in total list pretty much every available tool in both threads.
You people keep talking about the handle shape, and I didnt even really look close at it, but now that I have it does seem odd.
I would have liked to see the person be more familiar with the tool. It looked stiff, and he could have fully closed an implement before deploying the next. The blade did not look one-handed to me. I do not mind non-locking blades, saws, files, but implements which you use by pushing the tip against something, like screwdrivers, chisels, or awls, those need to at least have good retention. I do not like the bottle opener placement, or even the inclusion of it. Why bother?I do not like the handle shape and splay. I hope the field test it and tweak things a bit and have an awesome MT upon release.
Watched the video again, and I have more concerns.This is just under 4.5" long and looks thick. Basically the size of a Supertool 300/Surge. Should there not be more tools in the handles?At $89.99, this is a bit up there for what it offers. I paid $88 for a Surge.Also, the telescoping magnet seems too short.Based on the video, it expands to 5". That's a bit stubby. Maybe it is not expanded to its full length, but it does not seem to expand much more.(Image removed from quote.)The only telescoping thing on a multi-tool that comes to mind is the pointer on the Wenger SAKs. That extends to 12" which is significant.My dedicated telescoping magnet is 4.5" long and extends to 20" not counting its length when retracted.My second one is 7" retracted, and extends to an additional 24".As it is, it is not an implement I am excited to see on this MT.
