Something that people don’t realize is that it’s close to impossible to bring a new product to market from nothing. The goat wasn’t made by an already established tool company. That fact lets me overlook the minor flaws for an otherwise great idea that I had been wanting for along time. I had to take my scissor spring out and bend it properly. After that the scissors are great. They cut everything very well. Including paracord. I’ve been replacing my black tools for satin. My new scissors, the spring is visibly bent properly from the factory. No problems. The wire cutters are a very quick and easy fix with a dremmel. You don’t really need to be all that careful. It’s a big block of steel right there. I think you could even go into the threads some without any issues. The head of the screws are on the opposite side of where you need to dremmel. On my goat the main plier screws need to be pretty tight. The main tool side screws just need to be a little firm. If you can thread lock them in those positions it should be good after that. Sorry for the long “know it all”comment. I think the goat is a great tool. But it’s not for everyone. It is a first run and it does need minor fixes.
I hear you, I do like it, and will try dremmeling (real word?) the frame a little, if I could get some washers to enable the blade to come out one handed I would be happy, do you have the original sheath or have you a different carry method?
