I also watched the presentation with Adam Savage and you could see the creator was very nerdy about his product and every single feature. I loved it. But unfortunately this kind of knife is not allowed in my country so I can’t carry it around with me, making the whole thing useless.

Initially, I almost bought it but at the end of the video with Adam Savage, he teased a concept of the Smith Blade XL featuring pliers and scissors and I thought I would wait.

What's funny is that a month ago, I was about to buy the open source and modular Roxon Flex multitool but didn't have money at the time. I'm glad I didn't make an impulse decision.

I don't think I'd buy another hacksmith product, I bought the torch they built and it looks really neat, but barely even produces a flame after only being used a small handful of times. Unfortunately with my previous experience and the price I wouldn't even consider this tbh.

It's definitely interesting. The stand out things I noticed are they promise to offer "upgrade paths" to make the made in China lite version to become the pro version.

If they can fulfill that promise, I think if you're not ready with dropping the dough for the pro version now but want to support them still, that makes it a good deal still. Though the functions in the lite version is kind of gimmicky without the bit driver tbqh.

Idk I was excited and it looks awesome. But I'd have no where to easily put it and it's not cheap either. Don't think I have that much use for it either. I'll pass but the engineer in me loves it.
