30th anniversary tool

[hennypenny]

2013 is the 30th anniversary of Leatherman. Does anyone know which tool will be given the special 30th anniversary edition treatment?

[Metropolicity]

Wasn't it a combo ST300 and Micra?

Please explain what you mean by Combo ST300 and Micra? Where can you buy them?

[Metropolicity]

I am unsure. There was a thread a little whole back about it.

They are both being coated with DLC. I want them when they come out.

[Chako]

From the 2013 Leatherman catalogue.

Yep I have been wondering what the delay is in getting these out  .

I have asked LM on their facebook page 

[Monrogue]

I would probably like to get that combo set, but I already have a Rebar and Micra, so it would be a rather redundant purchase.  I really wouldn't have much use for a ST300, but another Micra wouldn't really hurt anything.  I really have enough plier based MTs, so this would be a good collector purchase if I would keep them in their package, but I wouldn't do that more than likely.  I like to play with them too much, and I would probaby carry the Micra some.  I guess it will also depend on the price, as I imagine it won't be all that cheap, especially with the DLC coating and the fact that they're the 30th anniversary package.

There isn't a delay in getting them out. They're just not releasing them until July (their actual anniversary).  So until then, sadly, all we can do is wait.

Is there a link to download the 2013 LM catalog?  I found thr 2011 and 2012, but no 2013.

This was Leatherman's FaceBook reply, to me asking when the 30th Anniversary ST300 & Micra would be available ;


Leatherman 'Soon! We don't have an exact date yet, but Facebook is one of the first places we announce special releases, so stay tuned'

Well they need to get a move on before 2013 is gone

[Delta10]

It's only a few months until July, you'll survive the wait...

Yeah that's right, you stated the month in an earlier post.  I had forgotten that.  Yeah, I suppose I'll make it until then

List price in the UK is £200  I know someone who has pre ordered at £180

What is that in US currency??  Quite a bit I bet.

I really like that ST300.

Dunc, where can I order it from in the UK? Would it be cheaper to get Bruce to send it over to me?

Have a word with Whitby http://www.whitbyandco.co.uk/products  and ask them who is stocking them but remember Leatheman hasn't started shipping them yet.
    You could try asking someone in the states but I wouldn't fancy trying to get that value through customs without getting hit for charges.

Sweet crap on a shingle!   Well there goes any chance of getting that.  Even if I could manage to buy that set, I probably wouldn't dare to contaminate them by opening the package and touching them.  There ought to be gold or diamonds on them for that kind of cash

[Dunc]

I would imagine they are a lot cheaper then $300 in the States

Oh really?  Sorry for my spasmic reaction   In that case, I feel bad for the crew on "the other side of the pond" as some say.  Is this the norm for any/all MTs/SAKs over there?

Yes it's normal , a Wave is £100 in the high street    Leatherman and other companies use import agents , I suppose it makes things easier for them by only having to deal with when company when selling their products overseas and it also works well for servicing and warranty work , but the importers obviously put their % on top .

I can't speak for the rest of us here, but in Belgium the prices on Leatherman tools are pretty steep, here are some examples:

Leatherman Wave = 139 € = 183 $
Leatherman Rebar =  85 € = 112 $
Leatherman Charge TTi = 229 € = 300 $
Leatherman Skeletool CX = 150 € = 197 $
Leatherman Sidekick = 67 € = 88 $
Leatherman Wingman = 50 € = 66 $
Leatherman Style PS = 35 € = 46 $

And for Swisstools and Spirits, well, you can't find them anywhere here, only ones I've seen were in an army store where they had 3 Spirits and 1 Swisstool, and I've ended up buying them all ...  (but at discount prices, because nobody else wanted to buy them  ).

And ordering them from the importer himself is a true pain in the *ss, I've ordered 3 Spirits from them and waited for about 5 months and listened to their lies over and over again untill I gave up.  Regular SAK's like the Swisschamp, Huntsman or Explorer are pretty easy to find, but the Swisstool and Spirit ...  .

[Monrogue]

Wow guys, those are some crazy prices   I complain that it's tough to afford to support my MT/SAK habit, but I can't imagine trying to do so at those prices. 

[bmot]

Even the Style CS is 29 euro's over here :S (which is 38 dollars  )

Yeah, definitely 

[Mercury]

I like the look of the ST300, I might save some pennies to get one.

[Nhoj]

Is anyone else thinking these are the same color scheme as the spirit rt? It is a pretty cool look though.
