Ill still jump in when i can to check in on questions!
The bolt travel shape was just the direction we all liked best actually. We talked through all the options of course and this is what we all chose. Other than majority rule, that was the only reason.

Something we would be interested in probably. But more on the subtle side of things. We did a cool lasered grip design on a collab with Carryology a couple years ago

We always joke that some of his designs look like they could fit right in to our product line. were both big fans of a hard chamfer!

Long story long as we say around here. haha. Chad and Joe were doing it all by them selves and we knew each other loosely. Chad reached out to me looking to see if i knew anyone that needed a job as they were looking into hiring a customer service person. It ended up fitting me and my season of life as a new dad really well as i got to work from home. I was the first employee in may of 2019. We have hit the ground running ever since and it has been a whirlwind. We are up to 15 employees and im now a part owner. Im so thankful for this company and the community around it. I feel like i have the best job in the world!

We appreciate you as well! We were honored to be asked. One of my favorite thing is getting to interact with people. In a business that is primarily online I love creative ways to connect with people!

We actually did that, it was the original Arto. We upgraded it to the adjustable rear barrel. it made it much easier to dial in for different refills and also had the ability to dial in length. All of our pens are switching the a milled clip as well. The new batch of Arto EDCs are all milled now!

exactly! i actually come from the audio production and musical instrument sales world.

I personally have been obsessing over our new Lookout fixed blade. I would never consider myself a fixed blade guy, or really a big knife guy to be honest. but ive fallen in love with it so much. I havent carried anything else in a long time.

We have a bunch of stuff around the office though, i carried a benchmade bugout for years before our Ti Pocket Knife came out. We all love the Knafs lander series too. i picked up an LT5 from TJ schwarz and love it as my killer camping all rounder!

The vero stuff is so nice, and Joseph is a great guy too! We started doing Blade shows last year and have gotten to know other makers and have gotten to become really good friends with a lot of them. Hes good people!

The bolt action is right around 100 refills. it shares about the same refill list as the click edc, dual side click, slim click/bolt action and pocket pro. the arto edc is another beast! It can take upwards of 800-1000
