if the Stanley had the new function from Fastback, the screwdriver bit holder, and the pocket clip, in would be the best option on the market... but without it, sadly, still we need to carry more tools instead of one with more functions... I have one Leatherman wave and yeah i can consider it is almost complete but i feel the need every time to carry also a cutter, especially when i need to give to another person to cut something and as we know, some people just don't care and that's why i have the cutter :))))... Now i own also a fastback 5in1, the new one with bits and i can say, it is very very practical...This type of blade can be easely reshapen on a fine Falkiven 1000 pocket stone and can provide a good cutting edge for a very long time, not the best but god..Also it has one place for extra blade so, you can keep one for fine cutting, leather, paper, and one for all the heavy work ...All the best sir!
Well said! I think you hit the nail on the head. The thing is there’s a difference between a knife and a utility blade. It’s hard to get a great all-in-one right. What I discovered after trying out different utility blades for a few months is that the most important thing (for me) was how easy it was to open and close it. That’s where the Fastback shines and some other brands are behind.
