Should have picked a different earthquake location for my joke.
I dropped my Swisstool many times, luckily not with the knife or other thin tools deployed because they will probably break when dropped from a decent height. I even threw the swisstool a couple of times when the thing i was working on was not cooperating I did this only in plier or closed mode.Let me tell you a stupid story, i was laying in bed and was prepared to go for a good night rest. I grabbed my swisstool from my nightstand and held it with stretched arms above my face, while i was admiring the beauty of the tool it slipped out of my hand and the 292 grams went full speed ahead in the direction of my face. I could barely avoid it. Man that would have hurt. SWISSTOOL TO THE FACE

Dropped my Cold Steel Voyager 5 1/2" knife while it was open into concrete. The tip was never the same and I could never sharpen it back out to how sharp it was before.

Thankfully the cellidor held up well and didn't get dented or gouged... If my Leatherman did that I would fear for the desk and wood of the bed... and the multitool to a similar extent. Good thing Leatherman come with little snail trail scratches from the way they handle them because I can be so obsessive compulsive about those things if I do them.

What should have been a funny joke about a heavy MT went right over my head. I have relatives in California who were there and they even sent me a T-shirt.

Don't worry I set up a little catch from a flexible guide book in there so nothing will slide down off of the desk again I hope.
