In reply to David Southworth. Where did you order it from? If you paid by credit card, try to dispute the charge.

In reply to Glen Lewis. Prices skyrocketed in the 6 years since the post was published.

Where the hell can you really buy a Leatherman Wave for $55-65 like you say, both in the review and this gift buying guide? Even your own link takes me to Amazon, where it has always (and STILL is) regularly sold for $99.95, almost TWICE the price you constantly tout on your website. Unacceptable!!!!

Very sorry to see Craftsmen products. They have moved production of tools off shore (china) They stole a US tool designer’s 6 point wrench- Bionic wrench from an american engineer. Never will buy a sears product or tool and I hate seeing there products promoted anywhere.

In reply to george. Great advice! Everyone should check their local laws before carrying any knife, folder or fixed blade. Something like the Mora would be suitable for carry or use around the workshop or campsite, but not in most urban settings.

In reply to JR. I haven't tried the Spyderco Manix or Paramilitary, although I considered adding a Delica 4 or other Spyderco to the list. After a little debate I decided the Benchmade mini-grip was a better recommendation for the time being, but I might add a Spyderco or two to the list down the road.

Nice list, however I would have added a couple of Spyderco knives like the US made Manix or Paramilitary. I would opt for genuine surplus e-tool as well. Otherwise, no complaints and I have several of the tools listed purchased from your previous recommendations.

In reply to firanger. I think that is because Gerber is owned by Fiskars.

In reply to Ola.

OOPS!!!!!

I *know* it was made in Sweden, it even says so on the darn knife, and this looks to be the first time I’ve made this mistake.

Thanks for the correction!

” Gerber E-Tool ”

This seems to be a copy of the Fiskars/Finnish army shovel.

The Facom pliers looks like a great tool – and I see that Zoro Tools is offering a 15% discount for orders over $50 – with free shipping (Dec 9-10).
The coupon code is SNOW15
