Brandon Roy Micra
« on: May 05, 2008, 01:49:51 am »
Who the heck is Brandon Roy? :think:

I'd never heard the name before this fancy schmancy Leatherman Micra showed up. Not being a big basketball fan I had to google him in order to find out. Apparently he was a rookie last year for the Portland Trailblazers, and Leatherman cranked out a few hundred of these special Micras in his honor. The tool has aluminum handle covers, one anodized in red and one in black. (Trailblazer colors?)

Here's a couple pics:

Anybody know how young Brandon is doing this year?

Looks like the team's colors to me! :D

Interesting variant to the Micra- are you planning on adding this to the Multitool Encyclopedia?

Also, how did you find this one?  Just stumble across it on eBay?

I wonder how good you have to be to get a Charge named after you! :P

Shaq's probably got a Surge with a Superman shield on it....

No they were not. 250 mailed to journalist plus a limited number available from the store. No clue what the final tally is though.
