Is this Genuine Leatherman?
on: March 07, 2018, 08:41:11 PM
I tend to be more focused on LM's oldies these days. Not much of their current stuff appeals if I'm honest  :facepalm:

Bid and won a couple of pouches last week

The Brown one arrived today, expecting the other tomorrow

I thought I was familiar with LM stuff, but this Brown pouch has completely thrown me.
Although it's got "Leatherman" embossed in the leather along with the LM trademark I just wondered if anyone recognises it, I certainly don't  :think:

Sorry, the pics are screenshots of the original eBay listing

Cheers Wspeed
That's what I thought, hence why I was determined to win it :facepalm:

But I've never seen anything like it, the eBay sellers wife did say her husband had a multitool fetish, which made me wonder if it was some kind of special release??

SteveC
Thanks for confirming, can you tell me anything about it, year it was released, model it was for etc etc

I think they came out in the era of the OG Surge model and I think they made a similar one for some of the LM knives. I know Poncho has a few so he might know more about them.

I have a case just like the last picture. I don't have any tool that fits in it and to be honest I don't even know how it came to me since as I said, don't have any tool that fits it  :D :D :D :D :D :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

That's Brilliant
Thanks SteveC  :tu:
Would you believe I have NiB Original Surge. I'll them up together and upload a pic

I agree Lynn, it caught my eye too, so very unusual.

I believe that leather case is also used for their crater line of knives. It's real for sure

Yep it is real :tu: I bought one several years ago for my Wave :cheers: It was designed for the Surge and their line of knives at the time and there is also a nylon equivilent that came with my K502 that fit great with my ST300 until the belt strap wore out :D They are very roomy sheaths and we also gave one away at the anniversary lasy year that eamo graciously donated :tu:

Here is the GAW thread and a couple more pics :cheers:

Don't scrutinise, it was taken with my old iPhone - lol

Mine is the top picture

Anyone has the belt that holds the LM Wave in the buckle? Maybe want to share comments?
