Place holder for any challenges in 2019.

If there are any you would like to do that can be a group challenge (preferably 5 or more people)  please let me or one of the other mods know so we can add it to the list and help plan it with you.

Or a Classic SD challenge… That's a real minimal one!

As a fan of the 84mm and 85mm SAK's I'm thinking I'll run a combined 84mm and 85mm Challenge. When I hear you ask?

8 April 2019 to 8 May inclusive. Obviously for us on this side of the pond that's 8/4 to 8/5.

I'll set up a thread to canvass interest once I've a clue what I'm planning  :ahhh

Get it now. 84 mm 8/4, 85 mm 8/5…
But still… So confusing if it doesn't start the first.

Well, I'll be guided by the Mods but I just thought it was fun to run from 8/4 to 8/5 to match the SAK sizes. If it's problem I'll run it in April.

Another small challenge will be happening on January 15th-30th. A two week off-brand challenge for Schrade ToughTools. Douglas and I are the only ones in so far. :)

U.S.A. and China ToughTools(and variants. ex. Craftsman branded) both welcome. :multi:

I was thinking about doing my first Challenge next month (starting June 1st) and was wanting to see if anyone else might be interested in doing one of the ones I was looking at. 
- Discontinued SAK/MT Challenge
- Minimal SAK Challenge
- Modified SAK Challenge
- Pioneer X Challenge

If June is too short notice then maybe July or August?

Gluttons for fun.  :D

I'd be totally up for either a Discontinued, a Modded SAK or a Pioneer X challenge, be it in June or July! These are all on my list to be completed and always better to do it in good company.

Great.  It looks like it may only be two of us, but I think still fun for June (signed up for traditionals in July).  I’ll start a thread for the Pioneer X June challenge and maybe we’ll get more.  I figure the Pioneer X is easier to come by, so if anyone wanted to join and didn’t have one already, they could get one easier.

Is that ok with the Mods?

As a complete noob..... what are challenges?

A challenge is where you carry and try to use only the specified item(s) for the duration of the challenge, posting a picture each day of its use or glamour shot if no use. 

Here is the link for the recently completed Crunch Challenge if you want to see an example.
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,82149.60.html

If you are interested in trying a challenge and have a Discontinued SAK, that challenge is starting today (01 Nov)
https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,82297.0.html

There is also an Leatherman OHT Challenge this month
