The saw is difficult to fish out of the tool's shell-it has a notch for a fingernail near its tip-but it performs adequately once you get it started. As with many such blades, this is sharpened on one side only. Serrated edge knife is likewise adequate it slices paracord rather effortlessly, so the edge design seems to have been well-conceived. No one should have any illusions about desperately attempting in emergency battonning of kindling, though! I rather liked the length (see picture above), which-while on the small side-allowed me an admirable level of control. This was necessary, because mine arrived with only an adequate edge from the factory. I have not had need yet for what appears to be a hint of a wire stripper and the base of the cutters-it is not listed above, and it is rather oval in shape rather than round, so perhaps it is not intended as a tool, but it might work in a pinch.įine (straight) edge knife is beveled on both sides of the blade and-as I noted above-absorbs sharpening efforts easily. Wirecutters work fine my concern here is long-term sharpness if, as I surmise, the steel here is on the softer side of the Rockwell scale. There is some disconcerting play in them, though: looking down at the points, gentle tugs left and right on the handles result in the needle nose points sliding back and forth. Pliers: Spring-loading is a nice feature some of my other multitools lack it makes small adjustments quick and easy, as when I was shaping a piece of wire with fine bends. small and medium flatblade screwdrivers.Tool locks are awkward to release it is a two-handed operation for me. Over time, perhaps, they will loosen for more fluid movement.
Knives open with thumb studs, but they require a concentrated effort as opposed to an effortless opening. I have not yet found details about the steel itself used in the tools, but it felt soft to me when I sharpened it-so yes, it will take an edge easily, and yes, it will likely lose it fairly quickly, too. The Suspension feels heavy in the hand my impression was that thicker slabs of metal were used because they were also of lesser quality that some multitools' materials.
Initial fit and finish appear decent closer inspection reveals rougher edges, notably on the spacers between tools. The Gerber Suspension arrives with a cheaply made pouch that is functional, but which I would not expect to endure protracted hard use (Gerber calls this ballistic nylon, but this seems a generous description).
