After all these years I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it at how smooth it felt -- very nicely fitted/polished. The Fuse is nice but a bit gritty in comparison.


At the time I bought mine, Leatherman called it the "Leatherman Tool" and the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog called it a Pocket Survival Tool. I think it's possible that the PSK nomenclature came from them.
