We also got this teaser from Gerber earlier, and we are looking forward to seeing what they were talking about.  Hopefully we will see the details soon.

Please be sure to follow the SHOT 2024 thread on our forum, and have your say on all the new products!

The news for January 22, 2024 starts with this announcement from Maxpedition:

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.

For those that don't know, the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoors Tradeshow (SHOT) sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) is the largest industry tradeshow in the world for the outdoors community, and it is an event on par with the Superbowl and World Cup rolled into one for the folks that like to get dirty and smell the fresh air.

This year we sent our correspondent Kampfer to poke around SHOT and report back to us on what was new and noteworthy.  Here's a list of what he came up with:

General Thoughts and Observations

SOG Booth

Leatherman Booth

CRKT Booth

As we get closer and closer to SHOT we are starting to get more and more info on what kinds of things we are likely to see from each of the big manufacturers.  This year the folks at BladeHQ are giving us our first looks at what Leatherman is releasing, something the folks at Leatherman were't happy about when I announced their new tools before they did a few years ago during the Sidekick and Wingman debut.

Just announced, the new Maxpedition Entity series of Non-Tactical/Tactical (NTT) bags designed to look unassuming, yet afford the organiazional options needed for covert operators.  Yup, insert rolling eye smiley here.  The marketing is over the top (as usual), but the reality of having a non-ninja type bag but with all of the organizational possibilities we are used to in miilitary style gear would probably come in handy to those of us that don't commute to and from war zones.

It seems to be generally agreed that Leatherman's offerings from SHOT this year are somewhat lacking given the recent excitement of Gerber's Center-Drive and SOG's entire new multitool lineup.  Their response is basically simplified versions of what they have been producing for years.

The 2017 SHOT Show (Shooting, Hunting and Outdoors Tradeshow) is just about over now and we have seen just about all that was announced there, and in case you have missed some of it on our forum, here's a bit of a recap!
