It's quite nice looking, but doesn't have anything over a classic really... I'd be more tempted by a silver coloured one too.  :think:

Looks like they broke off a Squirt handle and are selling it as a new tool.  Maybe that's how they can improve warranty turnaround time.

you know, if anyone else made something like this, everyone here would think it is just another knockoff SAK...
I do  ::) :B:

People have been making that Micra mod for a couple years now.  The one that is just one handle of a Micra.  Leatherman must have noticed it, took the idea and ran with it a little.

I guess no one ever told them not to run with scissors then? :rofl:

Doesnt look like a SAK to me.

I completely agree - looks nothing like a SAK  :think:

Whilst I'll inevitably get one (or some) of these, I can't see it making it into my EDC as it appears to be half a Micra or Squirt. I think I'll stick with the whole thing in all probability, or even more likely the Style CS. We shall see.

That poink is revolting btw - but it may not be the final shade or finish I guess. I wonder if it will resemble the Pink Squirts more by the time it gets to market - that's marginally less revolting!

Have to agree with you on that.  I suspect because it's a keychain tool they are trying to market it more to women.  :think:   I would like to see them make it in the same finish as the Micra.  It's a minimalist tool to begin with, why not keep the finish SS.

Hey, the pink Squirts are actually rather cute.  :twak:  Still, I think the colors for new new Ps4, Es4, and Style look downright horrid... give me my easily scratched alox. :/

We were told that the production color shades would differ somewhat from the prototypes available at Shot. The pink was specifically mentioned as one shade that would see a big change.
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools
