They look awesome, but I still like the looks of the "original bad boy" of multi-tools  ;D

The new Titanium model is a combination of the two seperate models, something alot of people have mentioned on the various boards as something they wanted.
The new Titanium model also has S30V steel another first for Leatherman in blade steels.......they were the first to use good steel with the existing and new black models with cm154 steel and they now offer the top of the line steel in s30v!!

In my opinion the ChargeTi.  I am pretty new to multi-tools in general, I have only owned a Gerber and now my Charge.  It looks as Leatherman puts more thought into the design.  Makes them look neat and also function well.

New Charges
« Reply #7 on: September 29, 2006, 03:21:25 AM »
We use a lot of titanium at our shop. The raw material price has doubled in the last two years. No wonder Leatherman is switching to aluminum.

And the choice of aluminum grade on the new Charges is no coincidence. Grade 6061-T6 is ideal for color anodizing. I'm predicting there will be a rainbow of color choices available soon.

For example:

COOL  8) 8)  You should send that into Leatherman........I'd buy one......reminds of the Spectra models of knives CRKT and others have put out over the last couple of years.

I'd be all over one of those funky anodized models too!

If they existed, that is....
