Whoa!! New Leatherman Skeletool!

[Iron man]

I got notice of this new tool in the Leatherman newsletter that was sent out yesterday. It didn't sound all that great. But then a picture of one showed up here: http://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,1796.15.html

That thing is awesome looking! Man I have got to get one. It would suit me perfectly. Not a bunch of extra junk and weight, only the essentials!

I was never a big fan of multi-tools but I may have to give that one a try. Looks like it would fit the bill for Backpacking trips.

I'd hit it

There's an email from a Leatherman "official" reproduced on that thread stating these are supposed to ship in November.

Found lots more info and pix here (scroll down) at Equipped.org's review of the 2007 SHOT Show.

Those pictures are of the Freestlye. As I understand it the Skeletool is a different model than the Freestyle and the later may be released independently of the Skeletool in January. Not sure what the major differences between the too are though.
