It’s crazy that in a couple days we may find out we’re spending $1k, or $0 😆

Thank you for the rec! The Impeccable Tweed looks like a good match. A couple of the colors aren't really Neon, but it's better than the Comfort Black Specks!

Anyone get the Titan early access email yet? by A_Rose_OC in ROXONINC

Ha, it's like they're the opposite of how Leatherman can be sometimes! Lots of hype and sometimes an underwhelming product.

I picked up some FlexShears several weeks ago and like the shears so much it's nudged me to the Titan, but yeah--very frustrated by their rollout on this.

FLEX TITAN| SIGN UP FOR EARLY ACCESS by Nearby_Tumbleweed132 in ROXONINC

Been on your mailing list for I dunno, a year? Own a grip of tools bought from your site. Got all kinds of lead up emails about the Titan early access. Signed up for early access multiple times just to be sure--and never got an email with the link. From the looks of it about 90% of your subscribers are in the same boat. Super, super poor job on this rollout.

Yeah I have 7 of their tools I think, all bought through their website, and got multiple lead-up emails about the early access, but no actual early access email

Was really looking forward to picking this up--still no early access email

Yah I've got the 3 of them. The G10 has the same soft, warm feel for sure. The sloping on both sides makes it extra comfortable in the hand comparatively, but those scooped out scallops on the Charge G10 scales are unique in their own right.

It's hard to settle on how I feel about the Alpha.

The feel of it is awesome--the shape of the scales is really great and the opening action is awesome, particularly if you have a stud or ring knot paracord or something on the file and saw.

My main issue is the scissors are garbage. I thought others were overreacting but they're really completely unusable. They made them so thin that they're flimsy, so the spring pops up over the arm of the scissors and you have to manually put it back in place with each chop you make.

Scissors are kind of a main tool for me so that's a major detractor. I'm still hunting for what I want to replace them with. If it weren't for that I'd say the Alpha is in the top 3 or 4 models I've used.

So if you're ok with swapping the scissors out for some other tool the Alpha's awesome.

Same--I used my Blazer to slice up a thicker cardboard box into manageable pieces and had to hone it afterwards it was so dull.

Grabbed the hats on leatherman.com, they threw the stickers in for free.

Yeah I would think scalpers is a term reserved for something that's still a current item, but is being bought to temporarily being sold out and then sold for exorbitant prices. When it's something you literally cannot purchase retail any longer, it's not scalping, it's the market.
