I cannot get any of the survival knives such as the Doug Ritter knife, for various reasons, so this tool/knife is my only carry blade for the next few years.

How does this compare against general survival type knives, and would you carry it as a outdoors knife? The things I find useful on it is the file for fish hooks and such, and the mini saw blade that easily chops up small branches for a fire.



I presume that is because of local knife law's or cost?

Buy the top end Leatherman. If possible the S30V blade. If not get the 154CM. I have both. Forget the lower end 420HRC steel versions. Complete waste of money.

Pair it with a decent high carbon steel hatchet and a folding saw for wilderness use. A properly sharpened hatchet will do everything that a fixed blade knife will.
