It just wasn't big enough for my hands though. Just seemed too small for me. I picked up a few with engraving as gifts though and my nephews seem to like them. http://www.rockynational.com/6036_30-000140_Gerber_Crucial_Green.html Nice looking tool and feels pretty solid.

If Julie can't get a review sample, I'll likely be buying one of my own... either way, you'll probably see a review here within the next month or two. Stay tuned! Tyler, I can see what you mean.

Look through the images on the Gerber site to see what I mean. Nice looking multi-tool, but the caribiner clip really look likes its in the way of a good, solid grip when the tool is in knife mode.

This is exactly what I've been looking for. A really good pair of pliers with screwdriver heads and a single strong blade with deeply scalloped serrations at the base of the blade (for striping wire and cutting straps). If it were available in nonreflective black (no, not because I want to to "look cool", but rather for theater and unobtrusive appearance sake), it would fit my perfect checklist. I know what I'm asking for Christmas. :) Beautiful. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Pliers, blade, and basic phillips and flat screwdrivers. That's it, nothing more. The Leatherman Skeletool fit my needs perfectly, but I usually lean more towards Gerber knives. I got excited when I saw this (especially since I lost one of the screwdriver bits in my Skeletool recently), but sadly it doesn't look to have a clip on the side like the Skeletool so I can keep it out of the way at the top of my pocket ready for action. Hopefully I'm wrong because the Crucial really looks promising. For years I waited for the perfect knife. Pliers, blade, and basic phillips and flat screwdrivers. That’s it, nothing more.
