I could try and hunt town the new and old locking mechanisms for every model, but I have to draw the line somewhere. I am just happy to have a few of each.
You know, now that has me thinking. I might have to buy another Blast and exchange the inside tools and pliers if at all possible with that extra camo tool. This way I could eliminate that duplicate.
Excellent write-up and collection Chako! At first, I did not care for the zytel handles either, but I came to like them very much. The Fuse is one of my favorites (I only own one, the orange) and I really wish it were still being manufactured. These were good, light-weight tools with good tools and razor sharp blades.

Is it a user ? If so how is the orange holding up ? I plan on buying one for EDC I it holds up fairly decent.Swiss Army knives .
The nylon used is produced by DuPont and is trademarked under the name Zytel. The interesting thing about Zytel, it has fiberglass mixed in for added structural rigidity.
Oh boy. I nearly had a crisis.I've love to see a few shots of some of those fancy waves up in the top. That black/gold one looks awesome!Those BO camo Fuse's (when you can get them) here are $120~ (probably $100USD). Not cheap.
