400% Funded! S30V blade add-on now available!
about 3 years ago – Sat, Apr 24, 2021 at 04:41:19 AM

Pledges have been SKYROCKETING the last few days! A special thanks to our friends at BackerKit who are getting the word out! They will be helping us send out surveys to both confirm all the details of your orders, and take polls on what tools you all want next!

$80k Stretch Goal Unlocked: S30V Blade add-on! $19

For those that use their blade all day, every day. Although our standard blades' 440C is no slouch of a steel, S30V is a premium steel preferred by many knife enthusiasts. Although it is slightly harder to sharpen than 440C it will hold that razor edge even longer, allowing you to get more done before it needs a visit from your sharpener! All the while still retaining a nice balance of corrosion resistance and strength. You will still receive the 440C blade with your pledge and an ADDITIONAL S30V blade! All of our add-ons are extra items, none of them will supplement an item you already pledged for. :)

Next Stretch Goal: 3mm + 5mm Allen Key / Hex Wrench $15

*This will be unlocked when we hit $100k* 

This is a combo add-on! Including both a 3mm and a 5mm Allen key / hex wrench. Not only are they the most common tools for IKEA furniture, they are also very common for bicycles! When they are side by side in the GOAT Multi-tool handle they will take up 4 'slots' (each handle has 12mm of tool space, each tool 'slot' is 2mm, allowing for a total of 6 slots per handle, or 12 for the entire tool). The Bit Driver already included in the Kickstarter Configuration is also a 4 slot tool, for example.  In an emergency situation, they can be used together as a pseudo 8mm (an old cyclist trick if you didn't have an 8mm, just stack a 3mm + 5mm! No joke!) 

300% Funded! Updated thumb hole testing! New Stretch Goals!

You have officially TRIPLED the goal! Thank you!

All of your support has been absolutely amazing! We are doing our best to keep up with all of your questions, comments, and concerns on Kickstarter, forums, discords, social media, and YouTube. This brings us to the first section of this update:

Alternate designs for the thumb hole in the long tools such as the knife. 

Although we have not had any failures with this design it has been mentioned as a concern amongst many of you so we had another FIVE designs laser cut and we are testing them now. We are aiming for the same ergonomics of opening the tools from the original design while minimizing the amount of removed material.

New Stretch Goals!

UNLOCKED: Brass scales! $19

The first of many material choices to customize your GOAT Modular Multi-tool! The brass scales are an alloy of copper and zinc that naturally patinas and will provide every tool with its own unique look with normal use. Each set includes 4 scales (2 per handle), 8 new screws, a spare 2mm allen wrench/hex key, and thread lock. To add this to an existing pledge you can click "Manage Your Pledge" from the campaign home page, click "Change your Pledge", click"Pledge $dollar" to confirm your pledge level, and then select the add-ons on the next page.

Next Stretch Goal: S30V Blade Upgrade! $19

*This will be unlocked when we hit $80k*

For those that use their blade all day, every day. Although our standard blades' 440C is no slouch of a steel, S30V is a premium steel preferred by many knife enthusiasts. Although it is slightly harder to sharpen than 440C it will hold that razor edge even longer, allowing you to get more done before it needs a visit from your sharpener! All the while still retaining a nice balance of corrosion resistance and strength.

Goal met in 1 day and doubled in 1 week!

Many thanks to all of you backing this project! We are now entering the exciting part of this multi-tool platform. This stretch goal marks the first of the additional components! Many of you will be very glad to know that a 440c Safety Cutter is now available as an add-on. A razor-sharp edge tucked inside of a curved hook perfect for cutting rope, straps, or clothing in an emergency situation. This module can be placed into any of the 4 Long Slots (knife, scissors, saw, and hobby blade holder come pre-installed in these slots).

But wait! There's more!

This goal also allows us to include a nylon MOLLE sheath with every multi-tool, for FREE! Just another way we would like to say "Thank You!" for supporting this new multi-tool platform!

FULLY FUNDED!
