I love MT's! The oldest one I have is a Gerber with the black oxide finish. Dad gave it to me maybe 25 years ago. I still take it camping with me and it's saved the day a few times. I have two Leatherman Freestyle CXs that I got for 1/2 price from Woot.com, too. I probably have ten or so MTs. Aside from the one dad gave me, my favorites are my Victorinox Spirit Swisstool and my Leatherman Flair. The Flair is awesome, pretty compact with nearly every tool you need and nothing that you don't (well, except for the cocktail fork! But I have used it while camping to eat Vienna sausages...).
