Chonky. Not sure it's worth the heft yet
First, mine came with the BA08 Utility Blade included in the package, which I didn't see anywhere in the description. That was a nice surprise, except that I had ordered that blade separately! This thing is a chonk. It's almost the same size as a Leatherman Free P2. Flex Shear is 6.4 Oz, P2 is 7.4. almost identical length, Flex Shear is about 1/8" THICKER. P2 is maybe 1/8" wider. The scissor/shear is BIG and cuts paracord effortlessly. When I switched the standard blade for the utility blade, I was flummoxed for a while because the scale wouldn't lock back on. Finally realized I needed to take half a turn out of the pivot screw because the utility blade holder is just a hair thicker than the standard blade. It's nice that you can access the pivot screws (T8) through a hole in the scales. I like what Roxon is doing with the modular tools, and really good scissors plus a utility blade seem like a very nice combination to me, but at this size and weight, I think I need pliers. I can see this going into the car tool box, but not likely to make it into my pocket.
