I love multitools and knives. I havemany Gerbers as well as Leathermans and others. I find the gerber multitools a bit lacking overall but this particular model is very nice. The fit and finish are very good compared to the 400/600 series andthe diesel as well as the suspension,flik and freehand. The tools are accessible without opening the pliers. The knife blade is a combo edge and is kind of small but is very sharp and is easy to keep that way. The bead blast finish does make it slightly more suceptible to rust but if you keep it clean after cutting, it should not be an issue. The spring loaded pliers are very nice and heavily built. They don't open as wide as Leatherman,Sog and Victorinox multitools though. This may or may not be an issue for you. The replaceable carbide wire cutters are a nice touch which are just now being copied in Leatherman's new supertool 300 (LM uses 154cm stainless for their cutters instead of carbide)The remgrit saw is very nice. A few years back my friend had a flat tire and his spare was padlocked under his truck. He forgot his key and we were far from home. A gerber 600 with the remgrit saw was the only thing we had that would cut it. It took awhile but it got the job done and we were back on the road. The fiskars scissors are very sharp and cut very well even though they are short. The screwdrivers are well made but are too short IMO. There is room for longer ones but all Gerber multi's have very short drivers. This model is made in USA. At least mine is. Most of the newer gerber MT's are from China.Click Here to see more reviews about: Gerber 48239 Legend Multi-Plier 800
