Actually it isn't all that bad. The blade is quite nice and much more sturdy than those on 58mm SAKs. However, Leatherman seem to be obsessed with turning every bloody tool into a manicurist tool, either that or they just want to copy Victorinox for the sake of it. A better tool IMO would have been based on the Squirt, with scissors on one side of the knife, blade on the other, and 4 tools in the middle; awl, phillips, small flathead and combo large flathead/bottle opener. It's completely possible and only requires LM to fabricate one new part they don't already make, and it would have resulted in a smaller tool with a lot more tools.
