With the current issues plaguing pretty well the entire planet right now, it seems like as good a time as any for a serious project here at Multitool.org.  With that in mind, we have decided to start up the Ultimate Multitool Timeline, which will be an amazing resource for anyone who wants to learn about Swiss Army Knives, Multitools, the companies that produce them, and any other related information.

Benchmade founder Les DeAsis has passed away on february 21st following a stroke suffered a week before.

Yesterday Maxpedition announced that they would not be in attendance at IWA this year, citing concerns about the Coronavirus issues plaguing Europe. 

While Megan was covering the 2020 SHOT Show in Las Vegas she was able to get some video of new products at the Gerber booth to share with everyone. 

As I write this we are mere hours away from the opening of the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoors Tradeshow, sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) and known to most people as SHOT.  For those not familiar with SHOT, it is the world's largest tradeshow for military, law enforcement, hunting, shooting and general outdoors products.  It features new items from manufacturers big and small, and is my absolute favorite time of year!

This year, our own Multitool Meg will be providing coverage from the show floor, first hand and live, and you can follow it all right here on our own forum.  We have started an Events Index to help you find all the updates you need and want from SHOT 2020.
