Does it's aimed to EDC community? I think they are trying to diversifying their productos like Victorinox did years ago.

I have seen the ads today :cheers:

Thanks for posting, G-D :woohoo:

I hope it is a new tool but likely with the TOPO Designs logo, it may just be another TOPO design on a tool :think: I hope it is a new tool though :ahhh

The pouch is neat and all but not for me :dunno: :D

A current tool with topo design is also what I’m guessing. Was hoping for something cool like Mr. Crunchy. Was bummed I missed out on that one as it seems to be the coolest tool LM has put out to date.

I awlso received that e-mail, and I'm awlso thinking the pouch contains a current tool with the topi design. A new tool would be most welcome, though.

I like the pouch, it looks perfect for a Swisschamp, smart, casual, lightweight, versatile, colorful and cool, all that's needed for the long, hot, adventurous Greek summer.
A needless tool inside would just skyrocket the price.

I too hope it’s either a new tool or a variation on a current tool, perhaps with a different toolset. Probably just a Signal with a different color way.

That looks about right. I hate to admit it but I kinda like it. Summertime colors.

Bugger, and here I was hoping for an Urban Signal. The pouch looks kinda cool, the tool, not my taste. With LM's past experience with painted Skeletools, I'm hoping they have improved the process or paint.

Yeah. A Signal with scissors and not holders would have been nice.

I'm having difficulty reconciling that image with "TOPO".  It's a funky Skeletool but the blade is just black in the image, so where's the Topo aspect?  Or is Topo just a company name and not related to what I'm thinking, which is the topographical blade like in another Skeletool?

I think it is a brand but not totally sure myself :dunno:

I know we can't realistically expect a new tool each year but I would rather they give different configurations of existing tools rather than just different colors of them :facepalm:

Or at least black oxide tools like the Free series, Bond and or the Curl :shrug:

 :iagree:  It looks fun. And, I bet with age and use it will get that Boba Fett look.

Still....the Skeletool never really did much for me. I was carrying mine for a couple days last week. A nice carry, but it did see much use. I think I used it to pull some staples. I did a 30-day challenge with it and liked it well enough. Still, I'm never sure that the tool to weight ratio makes it a 'must have'.

Maybe I need another Skeletool challenge.......  :rofl:

Perhaps the 'new' TOPO will eliminate the pocket clip in favor of the pouch.

Hmmmm....leads me to think about taking the pocket clip off my Skeletool. I never use it.

Topo designs makes backpacks and pouches. I actually use their micro accessory pouch every day. They tend to use a lot of vibrant colors

  Thought perhaps a blunt-nosed Lman with a replaceable saw blade. Wait, that's Gerber huh?

There are a few things that I think would be easy money for LM. A Curl with a saw blade instead of a file. A skeletool+ with scissors. Your statement about black oxide models would be as well.

That looks fun but I wouldn't buy it. I did visit the web site though and noticed they are having a major sale on the Tread. That's a thing that has always intrigued me but which I probably also wouldn't buy even at this price.I sort of doubt I would use the tools much.

There are different edc Facebook pages that show people wearing and using them but not an extremely large group here at MTO use or wear them :shrug:

I have the watch and at one time had a regular Tread but never used either  :dunno:

I do wear it every day, mostly as an accessory.

As a tool:
When I need a Philips or flathead screwdriver I usually grab my surge from my belt. But whenever I'm biking and need a hex it is easy to take it off and adjust something.
In my opinion, it does work and it is nice to have more options and for small adjustment or to thighten something it works fine. But it gets more akward when you need more then a few turns.

As an accessory:
It looks and feels nice but that's my taste. It is definitely a good conversation starter.
Sometimes people look at and only after quite some time recognize the tools embedded. They are always surprised and impressed.
At other times you grab it and use it, and they are like, "Where did you get that? Is that your bracelet?!?" Never gets dull

Tltr as an accessory I recommend it. It looks great and is useful for small jobs. As pure a tool, I won't recommend it.

It's up for sale on the LM site and quite easily the ugliest multi tool ever created.

I just bought one for a cruise (the LT model). This cruiseline doesn’t allow pocketknives or scissors of any size from what I can tell, and the tread is on its discontinuation sale so I figured I’d give it a go.
