    Anxiously awaiting FedEx

    After involuntarily giving my Leatherman to the TSA at the airport (inspect the bags BEFORE your wife does the packing) I decided to use my $100 gift card on a replacement. http://www.cabelas.com/p-0070644519265a.shtml Hopefully I like it as much as I did my Leatherman!
