Many HD Pics of ST300 on LM site...

Eyeballing the spec sheet in the Leatherman Library and the product page for the Core, there's not really much difference between the two, is there? The only real differences I see are the replaceable wire cutters and the cut out for the knife blade, yes? I'm wondering if I should just grab a Core from Costco (which I think I saw packaged with a knife for 40 or 50$). Does anyone know if the Core contains those zytel inserts like the Blast and Fuse?

yes it does have the zytel inserts but they are not structural so no worries

I know they aren't load bearing, but a part of me doesn't like how they look aesthetically. Thank you for verifying that they have the inserts, though I think I'll hold off for the all-metal construction of the new ST.

Get past that and you'll realise that the zytel adds quite a bit of comfort.  I like the zytel on my Fuse.

I'm sure the inserts are awesome, but I think it's the replaceable cutters that are going to win out on the supertool. I have a Powerlock with rolled cutters, and they've never been quite the same. I need to get around to finding out exactly what SOG's warranty is. The damage itself is over a year old already (shows you how much I use the SOG haha).

I will get one (maybe 2) just for the "its new and I want it factor" I will probably carry it as well. I am still in search of that perfect weight, tool selection and sheath combination to attract me. I am hoping this could be what i want.
