I used my once-a-year 30% veteran discount to pick it up for a cool $192.50 ❤

Well...I cannot justify the almst 400 dollar price tag for a colour change. I think Leatherman has gotten ridiculous.
A little Leatherman information.

I recognize that maybe I should not have this view, but I consider it as an affront to our dignity when Leatherman continues to raise prices to absurd levels, and then expects us to eat our porridge and ask for more.

A year from now, the self-loathing will mostly be gone, but you will still have a fun Obsidian ARC.

And Leatherman will have released 3 other ARC colors, which you will have also purchased.  No worries.   :cheers:

Looking good, genevabuck.   :tu:

:iagree: :facepalm: :rofl:

So true.

Its better to get it now while you can, than pass on it and regret it.  Especially as a Mega Collector.   :salute:

Thanks. I have a weird initial impression of this tool. First, it’s no doubt very high quality. The coating on the scales is nicer than I thought. The tools and implements seem to be DLC, but I’m not positive. The sheath is pretty nice leather and has a bit card pocket. I guess I pictured champagne accents as looking different. Maybe more like the blade on the 40th anniversary tool?  Just looks like a nickel finish to me. The coating on the blade reminds me of the high quality coatings on an expensive Benchmade. Very nice. If I wasn’t a collector and wanted a user ARC, I would find the cheapest OG ARC I could find though. Get it while you can guys. Several vendors are sold out. Don’t know if they are getting more.

When you guys get yours let me know what you think of the scissors. I don’t know if  it is the coating or if LM upgraded them, but these seem to have a far superior click and bite to any that I have experienced on the Free Series.

Do the tools and implements have a better finish than Leatherman's typical black oxide?

Have you tried scratching the coating on the outside of the handles and on the internal tools?

Is the coating scratch-resistant or very easy to scratch?

Jealous of you guys who already have the new toy in hand! I just got my shipping notification a few hours ago and it won’t get here until next week.

Then again, with the Signal challenge going on, it’s not like I’m going to be carrying an Arc anyway.

Did you order from the LM site?

I have purchased many toys from DLT Trading.  They are an A+ seller.

  Not overly impressed with this MagnaCut Steel. Charge TTi's S30V steel holds a sharp edge way longer than this MagnaCut does.

I wish that they would have went with S90V.

Yeah, I ordered direct from LM, but probably around three or four hours after it went up for sale. Also, I didn’t pay for expedited shipping, so it’s not too surprising that a lot of other people got them first.

That's fewer than I guessed they would make.  But its not impossible that they would do other colors to follow as well.
