I just got my leatherman TTi today from leatherman4less.com (standard disclaimer - only relation is as a 1st time customer)

Now - I'm a serious Knife nut. I've probably rejected more knifes for some reason or another than most people will own - I'm seriously picky about my knives

I've owned an original super tool, a Mini, a micra, and a couple of squirts, but other than the micras/squirts, all have been rejected as EDC on my person carry - there is always one in my backpack, but...

First impression - it's heavier than I thought
2nd - if your going to put an S30V blade on a tool - please sharpen it. I don't consider the edge that is on the main blade out of the box to be acceptable

The notches on the back of the secondary blade that are supposed to allow you to ID which blade is which by feel are way too rounded off to feel them - it is as if they buffed them with a fairly aggressive deburring wheel, and all the edges are gone

I LIKE the blade shape on the main blade

The file - what can I say - the diamond side looks/feels OK, but man, can the actually cut some REAL teeth on the regular side - the teeth seem to be rounded, and bidirectional - they are supposed to have a sawtooth profile

The saw looks OK

The pliers - the come to a nice needle point, but except for the 1st serration at the top, they do NOT fully close

The interchangeable bit - #1-2Phillips - 3/16 straight bit - folks - it's either #1, or it's #2 - don't give me a bodge up

Can Opener, Mini Bit, flat blade - look like they will be OK

Scissors - hey, they trimmed my moustache OK - I usually use my knife to cut things like paper (see - sharpen the blade please)

I'll try it for a while, AFTER I sharpen the blade - as it is, I don't consider it a knife replacement - maybe once it's sharp

I wish multi tool mfgs would do a few things - first - FILES are NOT made out of stainless steel (well - nail files, but...) Put a real high carbon steel "it rusts when you look at it" file in there - and for the pliers... Figure out what kind of steel say - Klein or ChannelLock use for their pliers, and use it - yeah, you'll have to clean/oil it once in a while so it won't rust, but you'll have a better tool
