I was NOT, however, impressed with the mfg's site at all. No MSRP listed. A few specs were listed, but not which tools were in the unit! Maybe I didn't look close enough? I could see several pictures, though, and that gave a few +'s. 9.6 oz is a little heavy, but by no means the heaviest. The Leatherman Wave weighs 8.4 oz (slightly less) and the Leatherman Surge weighs a hefty 12.5 oz! For comparison, though, I just weighed my Husky multi-tool with lock-blade razor blade, in the case - 16.5 oz - and I carry that nearly every day. Perhaps I should look into this further? :) $55 isn’t too bad for a decent multi-tool. I was NOT, however, impressed with the mfg’s site at all. No MSRP listed.

That is really expensive. You could buy a cheapo version of every tool included in that package for less money, and buy a bag to throw them all into. I know the portability size is kind of the point, but I cannot get over that price. Wow. That is really expensive.

If the knife blade opened from the outside, I'd definitely take a look at one of these.
