Anybody got their hands on either of these? Gerber's Father's Day sale (inexplicably) ends today, and I was debating picking one up with the discount. I wasn't in love with the original models, but I'm interesting in giving them another shot.

I rather like my Armbar, has to have the best bottle opener of almost any MT and the driver is very good, scissors not bad and the blade isn't a favourite shape but works well enough
These look interesting  :think:

I honestly can't believe following feedback on the armbar that they haven't fixed the complete lack of retention on the driver.  This is such a solved problem, and it is insane to me that new versions don't fix this. I get bit investing in modifying the original, the machinery is already in place, but on new models? Come on!

The scout and trade do have slightly better retention than the original but it's a small improvement.
