    Thanks for putting out this video. With the holiday weekend everything is up in the air with not knowing if folks are just not there to answer questions or if operations has stopped. Simply unknown. For now I am taking stock (literally) of what I have on hand, and what route to take next.

    I'll stay with the Swiss Champ I have EDCed since I bought it for my 15th birthday in 1985. It has saved my bacon many many times.

    Thank you so much for sharing this news, I’m a big fan of pc doodle, I managed to get the flashy and volty switch, discovered that PC Doodle may be coming out with a new / redesigned flashy for the Leatherman ARC, I agree with you in trying to help these small businesses, I’m hoping that the people will like the redesign. I’m looking forward to getting the redesigned flashy!! Love your channel and content. Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction!! Your awesome and doing and outstanding job. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👊🏿 from Washington state.

    Sad news I have two Leatherman's. A PST that I got in the 1980's and a new Leatherman ARC. I have not used the Arc more than 5 times but keep it around because of the Holster. Tax write-off is probably higher than 5 million.

  • @kristenvanpatten3854

    Thanks for mentioning my designs. I hadn't heard about Shapeways shutting down. I haven't used Shapeways for the last 10 years or so, as I was never happy with their print quality. Also, I prefer to avoid a middle man and produce my own parts. The main things they had going for them was drop-shipping, and a well known retail platform, but there are other companies already working to fill the gap. It won't be long before the designers who have been using them come up with another solution.

    Leatherman is done and gone for me anyway as a fossil only pushing for Highscores in price with stupid color variations. Proxon put the last nail in the coffin. But they have to start make things available outside US. That really annoys me.
