Leatherman E304 Pocket Knife - Liner Lock

This is a really good knife. Well built with little side to side blade play. The liner lock seems OK, but I haven't put a lot of pressure on it as I try not to use any knife in a way that could result in lost fingers. The blade steel (154CM) is one of the better older steels on the market. The carbiner/bottle opener is good for securing the knife to a backpack or opening your favorite beverage. Has a thumb stud which works OK, but has an assisted opening lever on the back of the knife that works great. The only downside is it is a little bulky for every day carry.

Ordered one of these for myself, and then a second order of several others as gifts. A great price and the 154 CM steel is an excellent material. Only downside is that knife is a bit bulky in the hand, likely because of the addition of the folding carabiner clip.

Great knife for the $$, cant usually get 154cm for this price

works great

Its a little bulky and thick. Blade is good steel, handle material feels cheap. Good knife for the price

I've had several Leatherman products. This knife has a good length. Is compact but suitable for hiking and backpacking as a quick, easy access knife.

Neat little knife. Very versitle with both the pocket clip and caribiner clip. Haven't used it enough to see how well the edge holds up, but if it is anything like my other leatherman products this thing will last until it gets lost. Nothing fancy, just a useful practical tool.

Handy knife that does a good job. Seems to hold an edge well.

I like the easy access. Clip it on your pack, your belt loop or your jacket. Handy!

I think the unfavorable comparison to CRKT et al is a little unfair. This knife has great steel, secure liner-lock, and an ergonomic handle that I find secure in my hand (M Large glove). Grip is not tacky or textured, but is shaped well. Liner-locks are often hard to clean, but this has a good gap in the handle spine (making the handle on the thick side). Could be a little lighter, thinner. Contrary to the description, I'd call the blade a spear point, not drop point. Edge stayed admirably sharp after use on elk hair/hide.
