I have had gerber multitools for years now. Can't remember exactly how long I have been carrying them actually.
i have found that the latest ones seem weaker than the older ones. The flat blade screw driver bit torqued the first time I used it on a new one! Seemed WAY too soft. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
On a separate note, what other kershaws were at the store? They do have some nice blades. I have a speed bump that I quite like!
