Yeah, the stiffness is a bit annoying - I have the feeling I might break the tool, which, I hope, is not true, lol
@50ft-tradSo it might be the BO that makes these Dimes stiffer? If you say the blade is okay, then I'm totally fine with the tool That's what I'll mostly use, anyway And probably the bottle opener The coating is really prone to scratches and wearing out, though. My Dime will soon develop some character
I like the "stiffness" of the Dime, makes the Squirt tool feel rather limp. I bought 2 of the black ones and haven't had any issues deploying the tools. Scissors, file and tweezers are all hopeless. Pliers are able to deform very easily twisting in the anticlockwise direction but are pretty good twisting in the clockwise direction. Bit rougher than the squirt. All that being said it is a good tool and with some small improvements could be excellent. I can get the Dime for about $27 which is roughly half the cost of the Squirt

How does this make it a good tool? What's left?
and the scissors aren't a scratch on the Victorinox 58mm.
