Mariner,<br><br>Older Leathermans do tend to dig into your hand. The newer models (such as the Wave) don't. While I looked at the Gerber tools awhile back when I was irked at the Leatherman Corp., I didn't care for them. I hope the LM tools I have last until another maker comes up with a tool as good or better than the LM Wave, or until I can find a 5 splined security Torx bit.<br><br>Take care,<br><br>Andy
