One of the neat things about the multitool industry is the celebrities that represent it. There's no end to them when you think about it- there are the historical celebs like Tim Leatherman, there are the design celebs like Tom Stokes and Launce Barber, there are the endorsed celebs like Bear Grylls and Les Stroud and there are the TV celebs like MacGuyver. Then there are the user celebs, and the Mythbusters are arguably at the top of the list, and now they are back- sort of.

There are a lot of designers out there, and that's a good thing. Design software and the machines powerful enough to run it are available to pretty well anyone these days for very little cost, and 3D printers have revolutionized limited production and rapid prototyping, and sites like Kickstarter, Gofundme and Indigogo have made it possible for people to get the startup capitol they need to launch their revolutionary new product to turn the world on it's ear. But, those aren't the only changes you need to know about.

The December Donation Draw is in full swing, and to close out 2016 we have a customized Swiss Army KNife from our good friend Bob Lessard, aka SYPH007!  If you don't know who Bob is by now, then you really need to take a moment and find out!

In November of 2016 Gerber introduced the Center-Drive in a major media storm.  Everyone was talking about it, wanting to try it for themselves, speculating on whether it was hype or whether it was the real deal.  I'm a bit late to the party for reviewing it, and you'll see hundreds of different reviews and unboxing videos already, but mine is going to be different, because there is a reason we are late to the party.  I have actually put mileage on the Center-Drive- I've carried and used it, and I don't think the value of a tool is in it's ability to be pulled out of a package.
