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…

Yeah but, as weird as it is to think, I bet steel was better in even 2008. I know that older hand tools used stronger steel, and iirc, it was project farm(i think?) that did a comparison of steel used even through the 1990s and into the 00s and found modern steel to be much softer.
