The original Leatherman's were notorious for pinching the blank out of your hand if the pliers slipped...just google "leatherman pinch" and I guarantee stories will pop up...'twas not a pleasant experience!!! Made me a Gerber man.

The old ones from late ninties? I think my first wave was in 98 or so I was still you hands were small and always slipped I'd get pinched buy that and my saw started to get stuck open not sure how I managed that lol

This was in the early 90's...they sucked. If you squeezed the handles of the pliers hard enough they would nearly touch. And that's where the skin of your palm ended up when they slipped off something...design fail...

Squeezed all the way:


My guess is you weren't the only one who complained

Nope...like I said, they were notorious! They had less than half the gap shown there, at best...they were also a little more flimsy from what I remember...my old Leatherman currently resides at the bottom of the Caribbean off the coast of Cuba...I picked up a Gerber at a stop in Gitmo one time and gave my Leatherman a burial at sea shortly afterwards...

This made me lol, haha. I can see why you'd switch. I'd have probably done the same thing.

Heres my first attempt at a wrap. Any advice is appreciated. I think it came out OK, what do you guys think?

Imo that came out freaking awesome,I think it looks great. When you said "first attempt" I thought it'd look a bit "eh," but I'm not sure I could do better honestly. Good job! I like it... maybe I'll get one, or something similar. Do they sell rainbow paracord lol?

Yup.



I was going to link page on Amazon, but it wouldn't. Must be different on this phone and I can't figure it out.

Thanks nicole!

Yup. For you i'd recommend a black izula with the bright green paracord.
Maybe something like this?

here is my collection so far. Not in the picture is the leatherman juice which resides in the car and I take it with me to work. I try to edc many of each of these blade one in a while but most time I find myself just grabbing my keys and using the small spyderco on there. I have a little rust on my izula, any idea how to remove it safely without damaging the blade?
