Anyone else get theirs? I’m having fun w/ mine. I wanted to ask someone else who’s already received theirs, how do they stack up against a-rt’s doorknobs? I’ve never thrown one and was wondering, Do they end up being comparable in width? Throw similar?

Got mine today, but I haven’t thrown it yet. I’m half-swapping with a buddy so I sadly have to wait. It’s tempting me in the corner, but I also know the second I would test it, it would hone in on any tiny bit of metal in the room immediately and ding itself, haha.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! I don’t know what else to say, we are absolutely overwhelmed by the massive amount of support you’ve all shown for our Turtle project. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

With that, it seems we wildly underestimated how popular the Turtle would be, despite it being our largest production to date. So, we’re doing the most logical thing we can think of, making more! 5 new colorways are now in production; and these hatchlings will be made from a different material, 7075.

We thank you in advance for your patience! Please keep in mind that turtles are very slow creatures, so it will be quite awhile before they arrive.

We also have 2 other projects that will be arriving in the meantime. Keep your eyes open for upcoming details on our first tug responsive (mr85 bearing) and our first mini bimetal return top!

Thanks again, this community is so amazing and we appreciate you all so much! Keep posting those Turtle tricks, palm-spin DNA is the new meta.

I was able to hold off until I got my half out the door! I did get a b-grade though and half-spec’d it, and it’s pretty awesome as a responsive! Palm grind champion for certain!

I tried it, but I think my half specs are wonky. :enraged_face:

I end up with a lil gap. It’s all good though, plays great as is. :grin:

Did you put a shorter axle in it? I had plenty of spares to use luckily from a hardware standpoint.

Yeah, I got an 8mm from OD. Like I said, I’m thinking I got some odd half specs.
