[edit] Sturdier than Victorinox?

I removed the comment that the Leatherman knife is "more sturdy [than]" the Swiss Army pocket knife. Both Leatherman and Victorinox/Werger produce low and high-end model pocket knives at relatively similar price points.

[edit] 9/11

I've just removed a comment that says that Leatherman tools are believed to have been used by the 9/11 hijackers. I have never heard this mentioned anywhere else. I've always read that they used box-cutters, which aren't remotely like Leathermans. Anyone have a decent source for the claim? --DudeGalea 22:10, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

My reaction was the same, but when looking on the page September 11, 2001 attacks it cites CNN [1] as a source for this claim so I left it in. But I'm not reverting as I'm unsure if it is relevant here. Bergsten 22:58, 6 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for that link. I think it should stay out; the report doesn't say that they used Leathermans, just that they may have used Leatherman-style utility knives. --DudeGalea 06:21, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Theatre

Do we want to mention that it is frequently used by "Techies" when working in a Theatre? JP Godfrey 15:09, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I would. I use mine ALL the time. KeepOnTruckin 16:30, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
