For anyone not in the challenge I have come up with a way for you to participate for a prize on February 7th!  :woohoo:

Your challenge is to create a Leap, out of paper or whatever, even if it is printed and cut out and post it in the thread on Feb 7th:tu:

The people in the regular 29 day challenge can participate as well as long as they create a Leap as outlined above.

The prize for the winning entry will be a $50 gift card to Amazon, or whatever place you shop.  This is open to international members as well.  :hatsoff:
Rest in peace ColoSwiss, you will always be remembered.

Thank you for following along with us, gra_farmer!

I don't know why it was discontiinued. Legend will probably be able to tell you. He is writing an ebook on the Leatherman Leap, so check back a little later today,

It was originally designed for children, so that they could learn to use multitools and when you first get it, it comes with the blade separate in the box, so that you can install the blade when the child is ready for it,

Although it was designed for a child, it is actually a very good EDC for adults too. :)

I thought that was the case, it was too expensive here, they were about $80 so might as well get a Wave

At that price, the Wave would be the better choice. :cheers:

That's the issue, they priced it too high for Europe, and the UK has to pay silly money

I do think Leatherman approached the marketing of the LEAP awl wrong.
It should have been included as a bundle, a WAVE with a LEAP, package with boys and girls displayed this helping DAD or MOM.  And, let be a loss leader product.

VICTORINOX has their first knife product. Opinel as well, directed primarily to kitchen duty.
Even MORA promotes youth knife education.

Imagine the repeat sales LM could have cultivated🙄

Story time:   This reminds me when I started my P/T job at the Y’s maintenance dept. The first day, given a tour of the grounds, kids are playing outside, and noticed several pulling and swinging a broken branch on a  tree.  I walked over, pulled my  REBAR, from the sheathed and deployed the saw blade and removed the lil token branch. Immediately a boy, stated “HEY HE HAS A MULTITOOL!”,  immediately I had 8 or 10 sets of eyes watching me.  Then that same boy says, “we gave one to my dad for his birthday, it is in his sock drawer🥺”

The next time I encounter that group, they approached me and said, “YOU HOING TO USE YOUR MULTITOOL? Can we watch?”

Occurred several times…  KIDS WANT TO LEARN!!!
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

A SMART man always knows what to say!
   A WISE man knows whether or not to say it!!!

In the US, the Leap retailed for ~$54 before they were discounted.
