according to the leatherman site, the Juice SX has a locking blade - is this the same for the rest of the new juice series ?
not saying i'm right - i done a comparison between the juice S2 and SX, and it came up there - i've attached a screenshot. I've never played with a juice before, so i honestly have no idea.
Pablo, going off topic (as usual) what are the laws here ? ok, i wouldn't bring my wave into any of the towns near me, but where i live, well you rarely see a garda, even if you're looking for one so it's never bothered me - then again, i live in the arse end of sam maguire country and, my lads are forbidden from taking their hikers/leap outside the house without express permission from me.

You need a good reason to carry them, like you need them for work, hunting, fishing, camping etc. Thats the kind of excuses you need to have them in a public space, and its not allowed, for example, to carry the knife into a shop on the way to camp. Or carry it at 2am.It all depends on the guard. If he/she decides to let you off the hook after catching you with a knife, he/she can. Equally, he/she can arrest you. Its up to them.A fuller explaination is below, with the law written out too: http://www.bushcraft.ie/index.php/articles/58-knives-and-the-lawAs you see, its much worse than even the UK.
Indeed! Stay away! Hell down here for multi and SAK carriers.
Damon,getting back to the SX,that's the surf specific Juice. That picture/site you found is the only reference to a locking Juice I've found. As a heads up,Amazon.co.uk have old S2 for about £45 at the moment.Have a look in the Mod Squad...Gareth,50ft-trad and myself,amongst others have modded a variety of tools to a Bladeless spec for full UK legality
see the pliers on the vics are lightweight, same as my squirt. nothing wrong with them, my squirt gets a lot of use (not meaning to cause offence to anyone, i mean compared to my wave). i have an old battered swisschamp thats been on a lot of trips with me, got a lot of use over the years, i've just gotten used to something beefier (i guess) like the wave. So, the vic and small leathermans are ruled out. My squirt covers that base. I have time to play with my dilemma Getting a seperate blade like the spartan does have an appeal though. I do like the hikers my lads have, very nice knife and covers everything needed except for the pliers. I think at this stage i might be overthinking this
Gareth, would that be interesting as in "may you live in interesting times" or interesting as in "hey, thats a really cool interesting tool" it's not going to be my main MT, i just want to have something a bit bigger (and legal) then my squirt with me, in fact i'll leave it in the UK when i leave, for use when i'm over again during the summer (and as a tool for my host, who isn't into MT's despite my trying) - it should be with me today, hopefully.I have a wave which i love, and a Squirt P4 which goes everywhere, for it's small size i think is a really really good little tool, bigtime. Probably my most used.
LOL. That's "interesting" as in "interesting design ideas". I have some issues with the design execution (hard to get out the screwdrivers for example), but it's still one of the few MTs that would fulfill your above criteria.

It is a pre 2014 model which seems better then the updated version, someone (I think Chako ?) done a great review a while back.anyway, so far i'm happy i will be using it as my main MT until the middle of January so i might give a more detailed impression then.
