I definately agree with you there.

I agree with Tom. I'm looking forward to a smaller one-hander LM with a pocket clip too.

Well I just got updated shipping status from Amazon. January 3.

So much for november. however I guess I should not buy a new tool before Christmass $:-\$

Viking · **Reply #36 on:** November 16, 2007, 12:53:51 AM

That stinks. I told my wife to get it for me for Christmas. Guess I'll have to wait an extra week or two.

I ended up getting a Kick today just to ease my desire for a new pocket-clipped LM.

That's the spirit!

Just have to roll with the punches...

Well Leatherman changed the release date on their site to 2008. I wonder what the hold-up is....

That sucks!

supratentorial · **Reply #41 on:** November 19, 2007, 08:05:15 PM

A few stores have pushed back the ETA to 2-15-08 (from 12-31-07). I don't know if this applies to everyone or just a handful of stores.

Just my wildest guess,it's likely Leatherman wanting to have enough inventory on hand to ship rather than production delays.I think the buzz ,and demand has exceeded their expectations.

That makes sense to me, and would be my guess as well.

edap617 · **Reply #44 on:** November 24, 2007, 06:11:54 AM

I can't wait to get one.

Well, can't they at least send us here at Multitool.org a bunch of them now, and make everybody else wait until 2008?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #46 on:** November 24, 2007, 03:40:01 PM

I've been trying for that!

No joy so far.

Def

Viking · **Reply #47 on:** November 24, 2007, 08:04:53 PM

That would be sweet! Keep trying!

BTW, Def, I enjoyed your article in Tactical Knives. Anymore articles coming up?

And...has their been any articles about the Skeletool around?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #48 on:** November 24, 2007, 08:14:25 PM

I haven't seen much about the Skeletool, and none that hasn't already been pointed out here already.

Thanks- I have some more articles in the works for Tactical Knives, Knives Illustrated, Blade and maybe some other magazines. I will keep you all informed of any other particularly interesting articles from myself or anyone else.

no pictures here yet! Done

sure is wild looking! it would be nice to get a group/we love you/gonna tell everyone/deal here, I know it's being worked on, ty for that.
They say it's only around 5oz! amazing for a full size tool. it would be nice to be able to switch out the minimal tools you personally want in it.

Anthony · **Reply #50 on:** November 26, 2007, 03:00:07 AM

Only good can come to Leatherman if they are confident in this tool and they send Def a half dozen or so to pass around.

There must be cases worth of these in the mail right now on their way to different magazines, what's a few more?

WhichDawg · **Reply #51 on:** November 26, 2007, 03:01:56 AM

That's right C! if we can't appreciate and luv it, who can!!

gadgetman7 · **Reply #52 on:** November 26, 2007, 05:40:57 PM

I'd pay for one. Maybe if we agreed to fill out a survey for them?

J-sews · **Reply #53 on:** November 27, 2007, 02:41:04 AM

I believe a request has been submitted, but no joy so far. Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.

Wish I knew which Leatherman distributor is going to receive their's first, so I can place my pre-order with them. $:-\$

WhichDawg · **Reply #54 on:** November 27, 2007, 02:58:16 AM

I'd really like to get a feel of one, they say it's amazing (damm marketing!)

not to change/hijack this thread but J-sews have you ever had Shermans Ice Cream? (it's in MI)

Never heard of it. Where are they located?

Grant Lamontagne · **Reply #56 on:** November 27, 2007, 03:00:58 AM

In the freezer section?

Def

WhichDawg · **Reply #57 on:** November 27, 2007, 03:13:17 AM

lol South Haven. omg it's the best ever. I use to camp near there and we'd all go into town for Shermans. You know it's the best because their are always lines and all the cars in the parking lot have plates from all over the country!

J-sews · **Reply #58 on:** November 27, 2007, 03:19:28 AM

Hmm, they are only about three hours from me. I'll have to stop in next time I'm down that way.

WhichDawg · **Reply #59 on:** November 27, 2007, 03:25:12 AM

omg J-sews, they have a belly buster and giant cones and tons of flavors, bring the family, don't eat for days because your gonna feel it! and to top it off their reasonable (prices) compared to other places of similar quantity. They are the best, I'll give you your money back if you don't at least like it a lot!
