Welcome Ash. Nice to have you with us.You'll be happy to know we have an emoticon dedicated to Ashleys. Try typing : ashley : without spaces to find out. Also a slight correction in the Eric interview. "Leatherman Skeletool CX (first edition PE 154cm)." The first edition CX was a CE-combo edge, not a PE-plain edge. As for painting your skeletool white, you'd better contact Eric/Metropolicity about that. That would require full disassembly or the tool, not only screws, but the rivets too and have it ceracoted then. Just painting it will peal off easily. Jeff Forbush did the ceracoting for him I believe.
