Great Tool!

Rating:****
This is a great tool. I'm a river surveyor who works in very sandy rivers most of the time. I have had several Swiss Army knives in the past. They have always been useful but lacked pliers and just couldn't hold up to all the sand and would lock up after awhile. As with any multi-tool, this tool is difficult to keep clean but has held up much better than the Swiss Army knives. This tool has been extremely useful and a good balance between weight, cost, and variety of tools.

I Love This Knife

Rating:*****
This knife is great. Not for most ultralight hikers, but it's great around the campsite, garage, or job site. It is a "multi-tool" so there are some compromises, but overall a good, quality tool. My tool also came with a leather case which was a nice touch.

Negative Reviews:

Im sick of returning this tool!

Rating:**
When they started making these in Mexico the quality has gone WAY down! The blade release on this has snapped off, and i finally brought back my 3rd Blast and traded up to the "Surge"...we'll see how this goes
