Last year when I went camping I took along a LM New Wave and a Vic Handyman. I mainly used the wave because the pivots weren't right so I abused the hell out of it! I used the blades to do all dirty work like gut a few fish, used the serrated blade to cut so much rope etc. I really abused and tested the wave. I used the tool as a hammer, a weight to throw rope over something- like a tree. I really tested this tool and nothing was really broke just scratched... I would suggest the LM Blast though- same tools as the wave, well besides the serrated blade & it does not have the bit drivers, well a large on anyway. Or if you have fingernails I would deff. go for the SwissTool!
