i have seen that leatherman now makes folding knives. but i noticed that the blade steel is 420HC. does anyone have one so they can tell me if i am better off spending my money elsewhere or not? i really like the looks of them but am iffy on spending money if im not sure. any help is greatly appreciated.

I have the little one (I think it the 103 or something) got it for a few bucks .I like it and I have never had to sharpen it and I have had it for almost a year but I don`t use it every day;I think it was very respectable edge holding for the cost(as good or better as most of my cheaper CRKT stuff),but maybe not if you pay full retail .I like mine but you might not.
 
I have two. One smaller one and one of the first ones which is quite a bit bigger. My first one is 154CM I am not sure what the smaller one is. However I feel like I got my money worth from these knives. I like them a lot.
 
I was playing with a friends a few weeks ago. seems like it was worth the price. blade was a little loose, but not bad.
 
When I sold these, I was impressed with the looks, and the steel, but not much else. Every single knife we got (in more than one shipment) had loose pocket clips, loose handles (you could grab on either side of the handles and move them up and down and side to side), and lots of blade play. Good company, good steel, not very well put together. Stick with their multi tools
