I may be interested but have a question...

Is the black model different than the red and green?

Thanks for all the great response.  I'm working overtime and will reply to everyone just as soon as possible.  Basketball season is wrapping up at the university.  That means many long days and  late nights between now and March.

Thanks for the update Travis   

I'm checking this thread and my PM's several times a day ... no pressure 
We've waited a long time for Gerber to come up with a mini tool that looks this good, so I'm sure we can all hang on a little longer     Don't burn yourself out in the process!

Thanks again

I would attribute the differences in the description of black to copyedit errors on Gerber's website. Notice that the black version also supposedly has the following "features":

    Blade Retracts Partially Into Handle
    Hard Plastic Sheath
    G-10 Composite Handle

The first doesn't make sense at all, and the other two can't be true while being offered at the same price.

By the way, PM sent for Green yesterday -- looking forward to it, and definitely empathize with the demands of working at a university.

I'd say you're right Alba, I'm sure this is just a copy & paste error.  AFAIK they're all the same, whatever the colour.

A g10 mini tool would be pretty neat haha

Update:

I have the order list updated as of tonight.  We currently have 68 pieces reserved, if I didn't make any counting errors.  That is tremendous response!

I managed to get a shipping estimate for U.S. orders and have begun sending totals and payment instructions.  I have replied to several International members with "ballpark" shipping guestimates.  I will get more accurate pricing once I have tools in hand and will request International payments at that time.

Work on this will be on hiatus until Friday night when I am off work again.  The reservation period will remain open through 6:00pm Eastern time this Saturday, February 11.  After that time I will sort out the final totals and be preparing to place the order.

Feel free to PM any questions.  I will reply to them ASAP.

Oh, same thing here but I went ahead and sent the funds. Hope Travis got it.

I just sent Travis a message to give him a heads up on this.  I imagine he'll be around as soon as he can to sort it all out.

Same here when I sent funds to Travis a couple weeks ago.  I thought it was odd but didnt know what to make of it.  He got the PP money fine when I sent it though.
