Guess anyone that was going to help anyone out overseas to get one will be left out of the loop :facepalm: but it will hopefully keep resellers from buying them for that sole purpose of reselling as well :salute:

Gonna be a few less on eBay.

Another tool I will not be able to get without paying through the nose for. Frankly it is stuff like this that makes me dislike Leatherman.
A little Leatherman information.

I'm going to buy one, and sell it to myself on eBay at an inflated price.  That way, I make the profit of a reseller and still have the MT.  Win win.   :salute:

It sucks that this thing hasn’t been leaked yet. I hate impulse buying, but the margin for error could be thin here.

I think they are, as in other Charges; what looks like is that they're adjustable, as the center have a hex-like hole!

Looks like the "innovative parts" are the copies of the NASA's pen and scribe; oooh and the tweezers ... I really  hope that the pliers head is adjustable.

Yeah, I feel like this one is less "garagey" than the first one.  This Charge should be a permanent offering.

From a practical perspective, the pen, scribe and tweezer would be good additions to other Leatherman products going forward.  I wish that Leatherman would sell me two of them, but that's their choice.

If its like last time, more units will be showing up as orders in excess of the limit are rejected.

For those who did not notice, the sheath is "custom" as well.  Black with blue embossing, if my eyeballs are working right.

Does anyone know if the Tom Sachs Pen and Scribe can be added to any Charge/Wave in the lanyard/clip slot? Seems like they could conceivably sell those addons as an accessory kit. Also, maybe stop building Charges with the "hidden Lanyard" in the saw handle so you could more easily use both addons.

Got one, geez, that was not easy at all like the last release. Bet I was one of the last few before it sold out.

  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]  Yep, sold out. Probably the accessories will fit; I think I'll be removing my Wave's hidden lanyard and test them out...

I' m wondering why they did not used the gut hook blade on this one. :think:  :oops:

I thought the Garage was all about original tool offerings.  This is very cool, but not original

Its all about $ for the shareholders.  That's not a bad thing, but everything is ancillary to that.  With the Darkside, Leatherman generated $225,000 in sales in about 30 minutes.

Cool look....I missed out. Agree that it does not look like a special tool like the last one. A very cool Charge for sure, though. Congrats to everyone who secured one.

I was afraid it would be just another special edition Charge and unfortunately I was right :facepalm:

They are for sure making quick money on these  :salute: that is the name of the game but I would rather they come out with this as a regular limited edition and not call it something from the Garage  :shrug:

Nevertheless, I did order one ::) :facepalm: :rofl:

I just wished they would have waited and came out with a Garage release every 6 months or so and bring something more unique to the table like the Mr Crunch was  :dunno:

Yeah this one was more evolutionary than revolutionary, and the G10 doesn't seem to add much except eye candy.  But like you I "had" to get one while I could.   :tu:
