US Marines MultiTool

[Thomas J Ekman]

I just watched a program on the Discovery Channel about high-altitude survival training for the US Marines.
They used a multitool frequently. Does anyone know what tool it is? My guess is Leatherman.

Offhand I'd guess a Gerber model. The US has bought a lot of these over the years.

Thomas,

Here's one of the models I spoke of: www.sealfitness.com/item.cfm?ItemsID=258 . That's the issued model. Frank Trzaska mentions on his website(www.usmilitaryknives.com) that the black leatherman supertool with crimping jaws is a popular private purchase item.
