The Gerber Recoil currently lives in my bug-out bag. The spring-loaded pliers are definitely cool, and potentially quite handy if you need the pliers in a hurry. I also like the plain edge knife blade, as opposed to the combination blade found on the Pro Scout. The multi-use tools in either handle seem to work well enough, though the screwdrivers won't be very useful if you have to get into a tight spot.

The only real complaint I have is the sheath, which seems to be an endemic problem with the entire Gerber line. In all fairness though, I don't care much for the sheath on the Wave either, as it doesn't allow for horizontal carry.
