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…

It's almost certainly the most likely failure point. It's where the two parts thin to overlap each other, but still aren't overlapping, and also it's undergoing a lot of force if you put any vertical torque on it.

I'm no engineer, or expert, or someone who's ever had this happen, but it seems like a pretty expected failure mode. Everything else is much thicker and more durable.
