On your model you have its one of the later awls , the earlier ones were better . As for the sheath If its a nylon one whitch snaps shut and not velcro then its made for the U.S market . In Europe we get the leather or nylon with velcro and they are much better .Dunc

Many of the issues that ausjulius pointed out could be fixed relatively easily if Victorinox wanted to. I wonder why they haven't? I mean, they "improve" the plier head every few years, why not anything else?
All that said , the swisstool is among the best , if not the best existing multitool out there .Chris

If I could have a private multitool fantasy it would be a Kline/Victorinox collaboration . The plierhead head being made by Kline with the 2000 series heatreat/alloys .

You can't throw me out! I'm leaving of my own accord.Fascist.....*legs it.
ofcorse the victorinox multitool is the best quality multitool out there..... im just holding a sog powerlock,, and looking at it and the vic tool, and the sog,, is a defective bit of of junk, with more flaws and than the empire state building,,.. that makes be want to hang the guy who designed it.. and quality like a chinese pogo stick.. so looking at the swiss tool....... you can see.. two very different items.... one has flaws that can be fixed, the other has got a cronic illness that cannot be fixed and must die....... what can i say..
