For those that don't have Instagram, I added the video over at the MTO Facebook page as well
Just a short video showing the Darkside for now. I am going to hopefully make a YouTube video sometime in the very near future

Thanks for the video, Poncho
Now you need to break it down into a couple of Darkside knives

Excellent video, I have to give mega kudos to Leatherman on the garage. The more I mess around with the Darkside the more I wonder, what will they do next to top this release. I know many of you wanted something completely unique and not using one of their standard platforms, but I am not only more than satisfied, but very excited about the future of Leatherman.

The scale tweezers and the 2 lock tab tools are a good step in the right direction
The DLC is also nicer than BO but it may not be as cost effective
Overall a nice tool

Did we get any new Darkside Owners club members today? Leatherman dropped / restocked another 15 Darkside about 3 hours ago.

Just received this; it's still 27 June here so, yes, a new member today!

It's just been maybe half an hour and I already like the smoothness, the weightlessness (as perceived by me...), the new accessories; the adjustable pliers, the DLC coating and the tool's looks! But, I also have some "nit picks"; the white residue seen on the scales?, it is from them rubbing against the sheath's rivets ( for such a limited run, and to use a regular box sheath... ) and, I was expecting a really new tool: mine has date codes of 10-21 on both handles (at least they match) so, in fact it is a revamped Charge. All in all, it will be a keeper and probably an occasional user as I do like it very much.

Yeah I have a little bit of the white residue on the scales too. I believe it is from the inside of the sheath, which is about 50% untanned leather.

Well, I did not intend to open it. I opened the outer shipping box, wrongly believing that the inner box would be sealed. But the only seal was the outer shipping box.
Oh well. Some people have worse problems than that.
I still have a sealed Mr. Crunch, which Mrs. Powernoodle can sell at a yard sale for $10 after I croak. So at least there is that.

Hoping you live a long full life
but that is a yard sale I wouldn't want to miss
If you haven't an extra Mr Crunch I would suggest that it is better than the Darkside as far as being different (as far as MTs go) and it would be the one I would have rather opened of those 2 if I was only opening one

Yeah the Mr. Crunch was a more unique offering from Leatherman. Plus, only 500 were released and many buyers bought two of them.
Lets hold off on the yard sales as long as possible.
I noticed that Leatherman has released a Charge with orange G-10 scales, which is sort of a cousin to the Darkside.

That is possibly the same Orange that Cabelas/Bass Pro sells as an exclusive but LM has sold it on their own website as well
unless it is adifferent shade or orange
