3:25 I can open up the blade without any problem. The reason for the location of that notch on the blade, is because if the notch is close to the hinge and spine...it will significantly compromise the blades strenght. Also, maybe your hands are soft, as i dont have any issue with the pliers grip I think its a wonderful quality EDC
I really like my Rev. I'm a fan of simplicity and the Rev certainly delivers for me. The straight edge knife blade is sharp and can be easily sharpened with a ceramic v- notch. The pliers are strong and precise, I used the hardwire cutters over the holidays to prune the small juvenile branches at the bottom of the Christmas tree. I use the can openers regularly on my Leatherman multitools to open up vegetables and fruit. The package opener is great for stubborn clam shell packaging. The Philips driver works well for what it is, unscrewed the roller cover on the vacuum cleaner and cleaned some built up debris. The flat driver is nice, which you pointed out. I like the bevel on it myself. I use the file for nail grooming and pick random debris from under the nails from time to time. I would never use a file on any multitool to file steel, just my preference. I really can't complain about the Rev, I think its a bit more functional than my retired Kick but I appreciate them both. I like my Rev as much as my PST. The original Wave is great, better than the Wave+ in my opinion. All my Leatherman tools have a place for a different task. I'm waiting on the P2 which is currently on its way. A lot of bashing on youtube about it. I'm the type of person that can appreciate and like what others don't. I love the underdogs and I'm very fond of Tim Leatherman and his story. At the same time, I'm not a fanboy, lol like some other characters on youtube are. We use our tools. Multitools are fun and handy to have. They're made to make our lives just a little easier and they work well at that. Happy New Year.
I actually love the fact that this is a 2 hand opening knife. The reason why, every single shooting or bomb threat at my local schools, cops search for weapons and I live right on the road that they always have a road block for those checkpoints. I hate watching the news, so if I carry this, my Knifeless Rebar, or my Bond, I am set to go, police checkpoints or not. I had my Charge G10 taken from me and I had to go to court to get it back. I had to pay a fine to get it back as well, so I am kinda stressed out, carrying a 1 hand opening knife. My job is even getting to the point where security either won't allow knives, or they look for something that can be used as a weapon. I do building maintenance and remodeling at different buildings, so my Knifeless Rebar is pretty much my work multitool. I wish I could use a Surge but every building with security won't let a 3 inch knife in. I love 1 hand opening knives and I have a few with ball bearings, that really fly open, which is fun, but sadly I can't carry them anymore. Stupid kid threats a school and everyone pays the price around here. I am glad that I at least have options like the Rev, which if I had to, I could still open 1 hand, but yet it's considered a 2 hand knife. I think it's awesome because of that. I believe Germany can't have 1 hand opening knives either, which it's a law over there. I live in Michigan by Detroit. It does suck for everyone else who can have a 1 hand opening knives, but this allows me to daily carry the Rev and I am not stressed out when I see a cop road side search. I show them and I go now. If I am pulled to the side for a extended search, I am annoyed but I know that I am not going to lose my multitool again.
Gave one of these to a carpenter friend who was raving over his chinesium special multi tool from grocery store now he appreciates quality still going strong a year later

The notch in the blade may have been put so far in order to classify the knife as "2 hand opening" which is not forbidden in some countries.

Some of those knockoff multi tools are so bad you can bend them! I’m happy for your friend!
@@TheJoeshExperience couldn't agree more my personal favorite is the wave 1 but hate to use it irreplaceable
@@onearnedbandit that’s how I feel whenever I carry my dad’s pst and with restoring my dad’s super tool. If I lose either I’d be devastated
