The blades on my Leatherman aren't too great, but they're the small ps4 and micra versions, on a premium model I'd expect more fit and finish.
Otherwise, why not get a normal multitool for 30 -40 dollars that works just as well. If I'm paying an extra 80 or so dollars, spend some time on it yeah?

My original point was this, although presented in a trollish way;
1- I've been using Leatherman for the best part of my working man life; Supertool, Wave and multiple kind of Charge. NONE has left me out to dry. NONE has broken when I was needing it. I still would have my Supertool, Waves and Charges... but these thing tends to disappear quite fast on me, either misplaced or "mislended".
2- Even if the 1XX$ might seem high to some, that reliability alone is worth more than that to me. Cause I use it as the name imply: as a multitool. The only multitool that ever failed me was a Gerber.
3- Would I buy a Charge TTI if it cost me 200$? No, I would go with a less interesting scale material. At +/-140.00$ The price seems quite valid to ME. Of course I would prefer a superb grind, but for what I get, as a tool, I'm ready to make small concessions to have it priced correctly.
4- Last and foremost: the thread title. Is an uneven grind a sign of poor quality? I think it's unfair to Leatherman. Is it a sign of a lack in QC? Maybe, poor quality... Sorry, I can't agree.
