It is an amazing tool, useful, durable, and beautiful. Dozens of reviews, presentations, and comparisons have been written on YouTube. However, I want to describe my own experience and impressions. The PROS briefly:
- Incredible build quality. Each tool has its own spring, opens and closes with minimal effort. Everything fits perfectly, click-clack, it's almost addictive. When you open the two handles to have the ruler, the legs fit so perfectly together that you can use it as a small straight edge!
- All tools lock securely, with minimal play. Also, they are all externally accessible except for the pliers, of course.
- Note for those who mainly use the knife, they should prefer the MX version for the one-handed opening capability.

And now let's move on to the topics that are important and potentially problematic for me:

- The blade is good, durable, and almost impossible to rust. However, it is made of a steel that is considered outdated. I have a Victorinox Atlas and at some point, the blade stopped being as sharp as I wanted. Some claim that it can be sharpened very easily, but I disagree. With common kitchen sharpeners, you achieve a sharpening that lasts very little and at the same time, you destroy the blade. For those who think about sharpening stones, I have tried them, I have destroyed some knives and scissors, they are not for me at all, it is a technique that requires a lot of time, effort, and great familiarity. Recently, I was almost forced to resort to a fixed-angle sharpening tool, which indeed works.
- The construction with rivets is outdated for me and does not give the regular user the flexibility to use their tool as they want. To open it, to clean it, to maintain it as they wish, and even to replace a worn or broken tool. Personally, I am very much in favor of the philosophy that Leatherman has with the screws and torx bits.
- I would prefer the pliers to have a thinner tip. I believe it has more use that way than in the current form it has in the tool, but this is subjective and depends on the user. In the pliers, once again Leatherman excels with the interchangeable cutter inserts.

In conclusion, it is a multitool that will not disappoint and will do its job for a long time with minimal care. However, the construction philosophy and the material used for the blade show their age.

After 14 years of daily use, I finally lost it and now I will buy it again. It is worth as much as it costs.

I bought the same one for a second time because I lost the previous one after 12 years, which I used daily and it remained like new.

15 years later, the brand started to fade.

Compared to this and a similarly priced leatherman, excluding the fact that it does not have interchangeable inserts on the cutter, the tool kills in appearance, is incredibly sturdy, and shows that it withstands over time!

You won't find the metals of Victorinox in other multitools of similar price! It withstands time without signs of oxidation. If you want something more elegant and smaller, you can choose the spirit.
