Anybody know when these will be available? In the article on Kershaw Knives' website, it says that they would be produced early next year (meaning, early 2003).

Should be interesting, being produced in conjunction with Kershaw and all. I definitely want one.
 
I can't tell from the print (I think it's a Leatherman).In the newest issue there is a great shot on a whole page of it opened with all the different blades etc open at different angles and it's holding some old artifact or such in the pliers but it's not an add. Suitable for framing LOL

Not a very big picuter but there is one on the cover of the June issue of Knives Illustrated with a better pic on page 13.

I like the Kershaw version. The Buck one looks neat too, I wonder what kind of steel the respective blades are made of?
 
Are those carabiners supposed to actually have any load bearing properties or is that just a gimmick? They sure look like they've got built in stress points. If it's a gimmick, there doesn't seem to be a need for them to be locking. I must admit that it looks interesting though.

I don't believe the carabiners are approved for load bearing. The carabiner looks more for "clipping" onto rings/hooks (like Spydie's remote asist?).

I may be wrong, but I can't possibly see how ergonomic it would be to grip the knife and use it properly (the D-ring is on top of the spine of the blade!)....

Looks gimicky....but that's just me :p

Spyken
 
Its a locking caribiner so you can use it as a knife. Had it not been locking spyken would have been even more correct.

Looking at the edge of the 'beaner where the blade is there are some bumps that appear to be finger sized, perhaps it is meant to be handled as if you were wearing it as a pair of brass knuckles with the clip on top??
