I sat my ST and Fuse side by side and Boss you are quite right it would be like comparing a Mack truck with the family station wagon.My first impression was that this was a bit delicate and only fit for occasional use WRONG
After making good use of most of the implements except the can opener I am quite impressed, the drivers are easier to use they do bite better than the polished ST ones but please don't tell Mick ,Dunc etc or they will put a contract on me
The scissors are stronger than I thought they easily cut one of the dogs old leather footballs and the main blade kept it's edge after cutting various cardboard boxes ,plastic bottles it was still able to easily sharpen a pencil
On the down side I don't like the looks of the can opener it may be different in use but I am not impressed so far and the final moan THE SHEATH IS BLOODY AWFUL and it will soon be replaced with a combo allowing me to carry my minimaglite too
I bought the Fuse on impulse but unlike many other impulse buys this one isn't a mistake and will soon be making it's way onto my duty belt .I should add it came with a horrible blue/purple aaa cell led flashlight OOPS just realised that this should have been put into reviews could some oblidging mod shift it for me
