Pretty cool. I usually carry a SAK as a backup as is so this is pretty interesting. Just as useful as most models of standard SAK.

Between the removable tweezers on one model and this little tool on the other, we might be headed in an interesting direction. The combination of a modern folder with a SAK, even with only a couple of layers, could be quite compelling.
A SAK fails to check the knife box for my EDC. I put them in the mutli-tool category where they might hang out in addition to a knife. Besides fast deployment and fun action, they tend to fall short on blade steel. Given how far the standard has risen for blade steel in budget knives, something like the 420HC in a Leatherman sticks out like a sore thumb. So while a back-up blade in obsolete steel might have utility for some people, it just feels like dead weight to me.
