I've owned several of the following brands - Leatherman, Gerber, SOG. I keep donating to the the airlines. My favorite is the SOG. I've bought more of the Leathermans simply because I always seem to find the $20 deal on the "original" and I think that is the most bang for the buck. I have broken off blades on the Leatherman but not on the others. The Leatherman is the easiest to sharpen but I feel it gets dull the quickest. The Leatherman tools fold from the outside of the handle and can get painful if you are using a lot of pressure on the pliers. My SOG and Gerber have the tools folding from the inside so the pliers feel better. Gerber is the hardest to sharpen. I have spare blades for the SOG and can switch out the tools (it has my preferred setup). I don't have the higher end versions of any of these brands and among what I do own I would rank SOG, Gerber, Leatherman but I am not unhappy with any of them and will continue to buy base on the best deal I find.
