Thought I'd share here, really excited as I got both the Obsidian Arc and the Corgi V this week.
Also got a few more stuff on order that'll go in a Maxpedition pouch, but a multitool and a knife are always on my belt.
Right side ("old"): Leatherman Arc + Vosteed Raccoon (with a custom etch)
Got the Raccoon 5 months ago, been in my pocket pretty much ever since.
Got the Arc 3 weeks ago with 2 big discounts and this tool is beyond perfect. I use it everyday at work. The MC blade is such a crazy upgrade over my Wingman's 420HC. Nothing stops this thing. Already used pretty much every single tool it has.
Left side (new): Leatherman Arc Obsidian + Vosteed Corgi V – Vanchor Lock
Got both of them this week. Been waiting for 2 months for the Corgi V and I've been looking for an Obsidian Arc for 5 months.
Found one for relatively "cheap" and drove an hour to get it. Brand new from a small shop, last in stock. Owner was such an awesome dude.
Thought it would be cool to have a blacked out EDC gear.
I'll be going back and forth with the knives, its nice to have a few.
As for the LM, the Obsidian is going right on my belt and I'll be selling the regular Arc since I don't need 2 identical tools so might as well sell it and make some money back while someone else enjoys this tool.
I know the Obsidian goes for a lot on eBay, don't care about it.
Money comes and goes, a tool like this would last a lifetime, even multiple lifetimes if well maintained. besides, its pretty cool to carry a limited edition item.
The flashlight was $1.5 from Aliexpress, gets the job done nicely. Maybe I'll upgrade it later.
The owner of the shop gave me an identical flashlight with a metal shell for free with the Obsidian.
I always keep the knives clean and sanitize them with alcohol, especially since most of the time I use them for food on the go/at work. The other few times is when precision is required, which can be a bit challenging with a Leatherman.
Everything else is handled by the LM.
I also have a Victorinox Compact which I carry when I'm not at work. A bit easier to carry since laws here are pretty strict with anything that has a blade.
