Leatherman skipping SHOT Show 2020?
on: January 06, 2020, 03:58:09 PM
I was going through the exhibitor list for SHOT Show 2020 and Leatherman’s name isn’t coming up.

Is it possible that Leatherman is skipping SHOT?!  :ahhh

Well, that would be pretty wild considering every year they are there. They did drop the Free-series on us last year and have been pushing that really hard. No new products, maybe they feel no need to take up space.

Confirmed: Leatherman will not have a booth at SHOT Show 2020. They’ll be sending folks as attendees from product development/engineering instead.

Just checked: Leatherman is NOT on the Exhibitors list of the IWA 2020, which is being held in March in Nürnberg, Germany.
What's going on??

I am not looking forward the the "if its in a grey sheath....." talk again.  Well, I'm sure they've got their reasons.

I don’t see Gerber on the list either for the site search on the 2020 shot show page.  :dunno:

Well, they claim to have tools coming out. We have seen the new ST 300. Kind of odd.

Well, it isn’t really about tools. It’s more about firearms, tactical stuff, etc. That market is booming. Still weird.

I hope they’re not having financial problems. I wonder how well the Free series is selling. They seem to have put a lot of money into it.

Could also be they’re trying to distance themselves from the gun community. Then again, they don’t go to Blade Show either.

I could be wrong but I doubt it is financial :salute: more than likely they don't have anything new or at least anything prototyped far enough along to show :shrug: :D

Remember the BO/Coyote ST300, with some new tool loadout...  :pok:

Edit: with the Gerber CenterDrive style prybar tool (at least I think that's the "new" ST300 that was being mentioned above)

I think so. It had a pry bar and long awl. It looked to be geared towards construction workers or contractors.

I liked it  :like:.

The ST300 is still one of my favorite tools, and I love the look of my BO/Coyote Rebar, so I guess I will like the "new" ST300 as well  ;).

Didn’t it have a bit driver?  I can’t remember.

Now that you mention it, I think it did  :iagree:.

You know, I saw ST300 and BO/Coyote, so I don't really care about the rest... There could've been a handle-wide single plastic compass layer in it, still would buy it in a heartbeat  :D.
