New Leatherman Knives - First Look

http://www.equipped.org/lm_knives.htm

Enjoy!

Ooooh. Pretty.

A "real" blade with a screw driver in the same package. That could be very, very cool.

My birthday is Oct 14 if anyone cares. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Those do look very interesting. I can't wait to see them in person to see how they are. Looking forward to Doug's review for that same reason. Great ideas, and I hope the execution is just as good.

They look nice, and I'm realy looking forward for a review.
Funny although that they are producing a somewhat sak style knife. If later models have a saw, i'm realy interested in one of them. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> It would be great addition to my PSII which I was thinking of upgrading.... but If these comeout with a saw...

No thanks. I'll stick with the original SAK. I can get a much better tool selection, at a better value. I have never had a problem with any of my SAKs, and Victorinox has one of the best (if not the best) warranties in the business.

I'm pretty much a SAK man. The new Leatherman knives just don't look like they have the tool selection I like. JMHO

Hi, this is my first post in this forum.

I'm a SAK man all the way. Victorinox's warranty, their tool selection and prices are just great. I don't think these Leatherman knives would replace them.

These new knives remind me a lot of the Buck Summit, which I didn't like very much.

That being said, I do like the bigger lockbacks with 154CM blades, but there are nicer folders that I would buy for the same money or less.

I'd like to see a review, too.

Good to see you here, Francisco. You'll like it here.

If I remember correctly you are a Victorinox Spirit guy over the Wave, too. I think if you counted noses here you'd probably find the Wave the favorite, as it is more of a pocket tool kit.

Thanks for the welcome, randjack.

I see there are a lot of Leatherman fans here, which is OK. The SwissTool has worked better than the Wave for my particular needs, but that doesn't mean that the Wave is a bad tool.

Agreed.
