Dare I say it: Improved Design over basic Swiss Army [Posted on 2007-02-13]
Here are the reasons: The blade is wider and locks for safety. The blade can be put into action quickly (one handed) unlike most swiss army. It is Johnny on the spot for cutting duties - no fumbling with two hands that would be a distraction to the task at hand. Grab it, open it, cut it and move on.

The screwdriver is on the same axis as the handle, is heavier duty and works like a normal screwdriver as opposed to perpindicular like the phillips head on a few swiss army knives I own. The bits are replaceable and changeable and has a ratcheting accessory that can be purchased separately. The bottle opener, though unorthodox in design works well. I've popped a many beers with it. It also functions as a carbiner and can be slide back into the knife for a sleeker unencumbered look and is out of the way when not in use. The can opener works well.

I wish they would have included a pocket clip just like its cousin the K502, you know the one with the better steel blade. I also wished the blade was longer than the 3.5 or so inches when openned.

This larger knife would compete well with the larger, basic swiss armies while the 300 series would do well with the smaller ones. It won't have the kitchen sink like the full featured Swiss knives but for common uses, it fits the bill better. I think leatheman should venture out to make one for specialty fishermen type tools and the like.

All in all, I'm very happy with it.

Outstanding Tool [Posted on 2007-03-09]
My Leatherman h502 is, for me, a perfect tool. I say "tool" because it is much more than just a knife. The bottle opener/carabiner works great attaching the tool to a belt loop. Removing a bottle top is a little tricky, but it works. I love the fact that I always have multiple screwdriver sizes at my disposal as part of the tool. And, of course, the knife blade is great. It is easy to open and locks open to prevent inadvertent closure. The stainless steel blade is really sharp and holds its edge well. Overall, a sturdy, well made, outstanding tool. The only improvement I can suggest is making the thumb knob so that it can be placed on either side of the blade. I'm left handed, so for me this feature is unusable.

Great little knife [Posted on 2007-11-03]
I carry this little asset around a warehouse everyday. It's great for opening and inspecting all types of containers from cardboard boxes to sealed crates. It's a sturdy little thing with many uses.

A great knife [Posted on 2008-02-05]
I love this knife. The first day I had it, I put it on my belt and haven't taken it off since. I have used every feature from the razor sharp blade to the carabiner/bottle opener. For the money, you will not find a better knife. It's all weather and all purpose.

What would you expect of Leatherman [Posted on 2008-03-16]
Great knife and tool set but I expected it. Makes a great impressive business gift and a handy tool in that special draw in the kitchen. Very handy for many uses, would definitely recommend and very happy with purchase.
