I had a Leatherman for about a week. I found it sitting on a log at a portage in the middle of nowhere, likely left by a stoner who used it to poke some holes in an empty beer can. I ate lunch for about 10 minutes and waited for the stoner, then got the hell out of there with my new flashy new knife. I sold it a week later for $50. And that’s why you’re better off with this comparatively cheap $30 Gerber Suspension Multi-Plier. It’s the cheapest one that’s sturdy enough that you’d actually want to carry it, and it costs less than a night of drinking at the VFW.
