Lesson from a paint retailer-NEVER judge colors from your computer monitor or a picture. What you see isn't going to be what you get. That being said, a deeper gray than the storm gray would be sweet. Are these only C2s?

The blade in mine will take a very keen edge, but it dulls fairly quickly as well.

But, every time I sharpen it (every couple of days), it keeps its edge for a little longer. I don't know if this makes any sense or if it is possible, but it seems like juice's blade steel has some kind of "memory" and the more times you sharpen it, the more it stays sharp.
I still like my S2 but always hated the blade. Im just about done grinding on a 91mm SAK blade and fitting in on the S2..

I had a Juice but the blade was pants, the combo bottle opener/can opener was a joke, and the scissors were poorly fitted and floppy. Replace the blade and scissors with Vic scissors (or Wenger serrated), and re-design that useless combo tool, and you'll have a decent MT. The Juice comes frustratingly close to hitting that sweet spot for a pocket tool, but it needs improvement. And for those who carry a SAK with their Juice: the combined weight of those two items is the same as ONE Swisstool Spirit (or any other similar-sized tool),, about 7 ounces. So you're better carrying one of those, rather than two tools.

May, 2005, Portland, OR—A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has found that between April of 1997 and April of 2002, Leatherman Tool Group, Inc. violated a unique California law concerning the ability of companies to represent their products as “Made in USA.” The court in Colgan v. Leatherman Tool Group held that under California law Leatherman engaged in false or misleading advertising by representing that certain of its tools were “Made in USA.” As a result, the court directed the company to pay approximately $13 million in restitution. Leatherman is disappointed with the ruling and intends to file an appeal. A recent Associated Press story about the ruling gave the distinct impression that Leatherman brand multi-tools are, for the most part, made outside the United States. This is false. The unique California law at issue prohibits companies from selling in California any product represented as “Made in USA” if “any article, unit, or part” of the product was “substantially made, manufactured, or produced outside of the United States.” As interpreted by one California judge, the law prohibits a “Made in USA” representation of a product even if the only foreign content in the product is a single screw. These Leatherman tools were all built and assembled by U.S. workers at U.S. factories using primarily parts made entirely in the United States and some parts processed, in part, in Western Europe, Mexico, or Canada. Unfortunately, Leatherman is not able to procure all of its component parts in the United States because of quality, technological, or economic considerations. But Leatherman Tool Group has never shipped a job overseas, and the company remains committed to keeping and creating as many jobs here as possible. “As proud as I am of the invention of the Leatherman tool, I am even more proud of the hundreds of American jobs I have created,” said company founder and president Tim Leatherman. “I am disappointed in the court’s ruling for a number of reasons, but I am especially disappointed that the court disregarded a ruling issued by a federal judge in 1997 stating that our representation that the Leatherman PST tool was made in the United States was ‘neither false nor misleading.’”
