New Leatherman Folders?

[blooddonor2004]

Hi,

Has anyone had a chance to take a close look at the new Leatherman folding knives? I saw one (e300) at Target the other day, and it looked very good for the money:

Good stuff:

• Nylon washer on main bearing
• Thumb stud
• Torx bolts allow user to tighten/loosen action
• "Blade laucher" lever to flick open blade
• Built in folding carabiner/bottle opener
• Removable belt clip
• Bead blasted stainless steel (420 I think)
• Made in USA

I didn't like:

• Thumb stud was right handed only
• Liner lock has access cut-out

The Made in USA part is important to me, so I think I may buy one.

I don't like the Leatherman knives. I don't like nylon washers. I don't like right handed only. I don't like liner locks.


I'd rather carry a Victorinox SAK.
