I've just recieved my Leatherman Squirt P4 today. Absolutely love it!! It will get a special place on my EDC keychain. Leatherman is great!

I would buy one if the file was a saw like the saw they have on the wave. I was amazed at how quickly I was able to cut down sprouts to build a lean-to with the saw.

I have one too. Get's used when I don't think pulling out my Wave is a good idea. Build quality is as good as you could wish for.

At lunch I looked at one at Bass Pro. Didn't realize it was that small - would be easy to carry as part of key chain.

...and it weighs almost nothing...and the pliers actually work.
I took one on a two week backpacking trip in NM and my wife said "whadya gonna do with that thing?"
Well, one of the boy's packs broke. We used some wire, the wire cutter and the pliers to fix it. Probably could have done it without, but it was a better and faster repair with it.

Anyone carry and use one of these in a casual suburban office environment? I was wondering what the reactions were.

mine rides on my minimalist keychain...neck lanyard with detachable keychain for the times that I don't have my belt on where my usual keychain rides. Haven't been able to get a good edge on the knife blade yet...

don't have a squirt, but i do have micra. I carry it all the time at school and it has been carried by me, inside a ambassy, ministery, police office, millitary base and more places. Have yet to receive any negative reaction yet. Just a joke once in awhile.

Even women are carrying SAKs these days. They're just a handy tool to have around to help with lifes little everyday adversities. What kind of office is this anyway? Are there specially trained and certified individuals that are allowed to use letter openers? And that paper shear... (oh wait, that was removed last week 'cause it was a safety hazard).
You know, I joke about this, but: We've got a group at work that goes 24/7 in rotating shifts, so they've got a small kitchen for weekends and off hours. I stopped in there for a cup of coffee and there was woman who was frantically searching for the bagel slicer so she could have a bite before going on shift. I told here: "Kitchen knives are in that drawer over there." She said: "We're not allowed to use a knife on a bagel anymore, someone cut their finger last week." So, well, yeah, I guess knives are dangerous... Sheesh.
