My biggest problem is one that may people have with it. It's very small. I don't have very big hands, I wear medium size gloves, and I found it hard to comfortably use. It's also too light for it's own good. The bottle opener gives it something to easily grab on to and it is slow light that you won't notice it drop out of your pocket when it inevitably gets caught on something. I might grind off that bottle opener because using the dull side of the blade is as good of a bottle opener. I feel like it's a little over designed. It's got curves where it really doesn't need them. I would have been happier with a simple and basic folding knife design.
The blade is incredibly sharp, it will cut through almost anything like warm butter. While I did gripe on the size and weight it is handy. It's small enough to fit in that small pocket on a pair of Levi's. It's light enough to not sag your pants while you have it. Leatherman has always made sturdy products and this is no exception. They kept the design relatively simple so there's really nothing to go wrong with it. It will hold up to a decent amount of abuse, if you can motivate yourself to use it regularly. It's thin enough to fit almost anywhere without being obvious that you have it.
Just for clarification, it's not a self defense knife. It's a knife used for cutting things. Not something I would use to pry things open. It is basically designed to cut open letters and the tape on boxes. Best suited to keep handy wherever you open your mail at. If I'm going to be cutting things open, I've got utility knives that I can use that will do the job better and I can change the blade in seconds once it's dull, I don't have to send it in and wait weeks for someone to sharpen or replace the blade and send it back to me. If I want to pry things open, I've got pry bars of all sizes.
If you're a fan of Leatherman and you regularly order things off Amazon or get mail that you want to open with a knife, this will do the trick for you. But it's not something that I'm going to replace my SOG Flash II with.
