Now I really wish I had bought one to play with. DAMMIT.Yes Steve is our best bet for info, unless Tosh has installed his blade?
It begs the question.." What on earth was leatherman thinking" How did it ever get to the production stage without realising the hazard. I mean for kids too, seriously!Unbelievable!!

I mean for kids too, seriously!Unbelievable!! Exactly that, well, apart from unbelievable. Mistakes make humans but come on, Leatherman! This could have ended very badly. I am reluctant to like their MTs for a number of reasons, the main one being (other than their price in these parts of the world, that is) the persistence on needle-nosed pliers Then there was that Funny Watch and all those funky one-piece tools, that I distrust in general. All these things seem to indicate they're at a loss. Maybe the drive for always making new things doesn't always lead to improvement. I am even more reluctant now.Sorry for the rant.

DAMMIT.Me too and not just to play with.A few months ago I made a personal decision that my public MT carry would be non-locking for the blade, probably meaning knifeless unless the non-locking was safe by design. In fact Syph helped my decision. The Leap would have been a perfect knifeless EDC MT. No can opener but then I don't consider my Juice S2 has a can-opener. (I carry a P-38 type on my keychain). Bummed that I didn't buy when I could and no idea why I didn't but looking forward to the Leap Mk 2.
You need a KST or an MP425
Quote from: kirk13 on November 22, 2014, 12:47:39 PMYou need a KST or an MP425 I think I got the (Kirk)MP425 reference thanks to Google and MT.o but I need help with the KST reference .TBH not sure why I haven't considered that route. I think it *might* be that I had deemed the Gerber locking mechanism too difficult to defeat safely a year or so ago and switched off Gerber before I made the much more recent "knifeless" decision. Tried with a EVO and the blade just flopped around.I have enough EVO parts to make an awl which is requirement #1. Food for thought.
I need help with the KST reference
Unintentionally pressing on the lock while cutting and forcing the blade off the pivot.

Next time they should send some to the PROs here, for Beta-Testing...
Looks like Breezy is our only hope.
Watch your digits.
I am happy to announce that there was no bleeding involved in this testing.
