Leatherman Bond vs Shirogorov

Some quick notes: there is no play whatsoever with the blade. The pivots are extremely tight and it takes a lot of effort to open up and unfold the pliers.

Occasionally Shirogorov knives find their way to BladeHQ, and I recommend purchasing them there. They aren’t available on Amazon.

This one's kind of interesting. I used my modified knife less Leatherman Bond with bit driver and bit kit to repair my elementary classroom door handle after an active shooter drill. My door handle got bent during the drill so I popped it off using one of the hex bits from the bit kit, unbent it and reinstalled it.

Only 2 screws. Neutral handle shape. Classic blade shape. Simple and perfect pocket clip

I have always enjoyed collecting Leatherman tools since buying a PST a while ago. I knew that the Bond would be simple, and that the plan for the knife and tool setup would avoid locking features to allow for lawful carry in an expanded group of regions and countries. That being said, there's no real value that I see that is comparable to any of the other Leatherman offerings other than the price (the Sidekick and Wingman used to be the entry level offerings). I'm surprised and a bit disappointed that the Bond is a slightly upgraded PST

Shirogorov. Holt was underwhelming for all the hype around them and you can pick up two Shiros for the price of one second hand Holt. The only shitty part about shirogorov is the warranty and sending it out to Russia. Also I liked the action on the Shiros I've owned more than the spectrums I've had
