Broke my Leatherman today.

I won a raffle in 2008 I think.

The first prize was a gift card which I used to buy the most expensive leatherman that was available in the store at the time.

I have used it so much and still somehow taken way too good care of it. Never abused the blades. I bet the tool I have used the most have been the pliers and the screwdriver.

The leather holster that I used occasionally looks still almost like new.

Cutting hot dog buns for kids when out and about, fixing my bike…

    Hey OP, have you looked very closely at the break point? Like, does half of the break fracture look corroded and the other half look like fresh break metal?

    If so, that’s basically obvious signs of an aging stress crack that was unfortunately destined to give out eventually anyways.

    :(

      I think it is quite even. So probably just used them too roughly / in a wrong way.
