Did you know there were two versions of Leatherman's Surge model? This is the original, introduced in 2005 and produced until it was updated in 2013.
When people ask me what is the best, toughest tool on the market, the that beats all others, the one tool I would want on a deserted island for the rest of my life, there's only one answer- the Victorinox SwissTool, like this well used RS version.
The Gerber Mini Suspension comes in two versions- the P (for pliers) and the S for the scissor based version.
One of the most popular multitools of all time is unquestionably the ST-1 from Schrade.
Based on the Gerber Suspension, the Resolve is one of several different variants that were available.
When it comes to Leatherman Charge models, the Costco Exclusive SLV is one of the great collectibles.
At one time the Champion was aptly named, because it was the biggest Swiss Army Knife you could get- it was the Gold Standard!
It's been a while since I posted a spork, so I figured I'd better fix that with these sporks from UCO!
Another entry in the "Didn't know or forgot about" file is the Curve from Gerber- perhaps the smallest tool you can get with locking functions!
Highly valued by collectors, the Radio Shack branded Leatherman Squirt model was originally released for Radio Shack.
I greatly dislike shoddy, poorly made tools, but not as much as I dislike shoddy, poorly made tools with good quality names on them.
Another model in the Wenger Patagonia series is this Evogrip S18.
This is a Leatherman PST, which stands for Personal Survival Tool. Ordinarily if write about how iconic and important this tool is, and it absolutely is- but you can read all that here: https://wiki.multitool.org/tiki-index.php?page=PST
You probably don't remember this one, but I was thrilled when I saw it for the first time at the SHOT Show in 2011.
What kind of people would write collect and review multitools? Quite simple really- we are designers and do-ers, outdoors types and indoor types, mechanics, doctors, problem solvers and problem makers. As such, we have, as a world spanning community, put every type, size and version of multitool, multifunction knife, pocket knife and all related products to every test we could manage in as many places and environments as there are.
