Hi, Megan!Nice to see MTO is covering SHOT show, besides the usual suspect of Victorinox/LM/SOG/Gerber for multitools, I'd love to see some additional coverage on major knife brands(Benchmade, Spyderco, Kershaw, CRKT, etc) and/or multitools by less known brands. Any new outdoor gears and gadgets are most welcomed too!(To sum up, pretty much anything with a sharp edge to it... )
Pretty disappointing that Leatherman are resting on the Free and not listening to input on updating the Wave/Charge platform or the the Supertool.
The SHOT Show is basically oriented towards firearms, optics, and related equipment. Traditionally, the cutlery concerns debut a lot-of-their-new-stuff; realistically, because blades overlap into the shooting-sports, hunting, and military/self-defense applications. I'm curious to see what TOPs, Zero Tolerance, SOG, Cold Steel, and Benchmade unveil this-year. Many of the designs shown last-year were kind-of-blase, and high-dollar. Usually, the Blade Show in Atlanta gives a better-picture of knife trends, and what the manufacturers, think will sell. The 2020 NRA Convention also features a lot of knife-oriented exhibitors.
Confirmed: Leatherman will not have a booth At the SHOT show this year. They will be sending some folks from product development and engineering.
It would be interesting to see what new creative designs and ideas the smaller manufacturers might come up with.Most importantly though have lots of fun
That is very disappointing that they will not be there. Wonder if Gerber will be there.
and/or multitools by less known brands.
Maybe LM doesn‘t wanna hear all the complaints related to their fancy new tools. Instead they send the designers and engineers back to the drawing boards to make them better. And just in case someone from LM is reading this. Here are some ideas how to do that:https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,81481.0.html
MeganCan you smuggle me inside the convention?!? I'm already here in Vegas and I have a really large duffel bag that I can fit inside of... Just get me inside the hall, I'll be very sneaky.
Aw, I wish! The paperwork for our media passes had to be in back in November!
So how is SHOT going, Megan
