Great product, but first consider these two things...
A beautifully crafted tool with great functionality and durability. However, there were only two issues I wanted to address for potential buyers:
1. From a functional point of view, the Wave is absolutely comparable (check the Leatherman website where you can do side-by-side comparisons of different tools), and significantly cheaper. You may want to look into this.
2. Although aesthetically pleasing, the black handles actually feel rough, almost giving the sensation of running your fingernails down a chalkboard. I tried it for a week, hoping that I would get used to it - but I didn't, so I returned it and bought the Wave.
Personally, I am more comfortable with the usual smooth, metal finish typical of Leatherman tools. I don't think this affects the functionality of the tool in any way, but I was just not pleased with how it felt in the hand.
Not everyone may feel the same way, so if you are considering this purchase, I would try the aluminum handles yourself in person to see if it is a texture you can tolerate. If not, the Wave may be a better option, especially given the comparable functionality, same exceptional construction expected of a Leatherman tool, and significantly cheaper price.

Charge ALX is the One.
I've heard about Leatherman from a friend some months ago when I was searching for a multitool. Well, this is great! The blades are very sharpen and the mechanism to lock is very good. I like a lot the Wood/metal//Diamond-coated files. They are very good! Also the Leather Sheath is very robust.
This is the multitool you can buy for sure, well designed, fits fine in your hand. I recommend!
