Does anyone know how many of these were produced for the Danish Market?

I am wondering if anyone knows the final production numbers for this Danish 2HO 25th Anniversary model? I was re-organizing one of my drawers and thought I would take photos of this one for your enjoyment.

The cover sleeve:


The metal presentation box.


The interior of said box.


For those of you who may not know, Denmark has very strict knife laws. One hand opening (OHO) are forbidden. Thus, Leatherman modified their main blades by eliminating that distinct finger hole, and replaced them with a fingernail indent. I would imagine with a population of slightly over 5 million in 2016, they didn't make too many of these overall. I have a few others from the Danish market, a Charge, a Surge, and a Wave if memory serves me correctly. I had to order them direct from Denmark. Doing so was a bit challenging. They were not going to send them to me as they were dead curious as to why a Canadian would want them at great expense compared to one in my country. Of course, the cheapest of all are those from the US. Surprisingly enough, I had to convince them to sell them to me as the distributor wasn't exactly eager to ship them overseas. Still worthwhile for a collector to have.

I believe that the knife laws in Denmark have now changed so it's no longer illegal to own locking and/or OHO knives.

Cool. I did not know that. That means these are on an even more limited run because all newer ones will be OHO?  :think:

I am originally from Denmark, (born and raised in Copenhagen) I have had a company issued Leatherman Kick when I worked there, which I never had any legal issues with, with that said, it didn't have any "one hand opening features".

I was actually sitting here, trying to find any information about these on any Danish websites, but didn't find any.

But feel free to PM me if find any Danish websites / information you need help interpreting  :cheers:
Kind regards,

Found this when researching current knife laws for Denmark.

I somehow can appreciate that video somewhat. Some parts of rural Quebec (one of our Provinces) have their own separate French language it seems. or at least I can't seem to understand it much.
