Bottom line? They're my children, and I love them all, but it's still Leatherman by a needle nose. Why? Better engineering. The parts fit perfectly, the locking mechanism is simple but effective, and the blades are top-quality high-carbon steel--the saw really saws, and I know from experience that the blades hold their edges over time.
