And one not so new but really interesting:- Russian Issue and the one I'd probably opt for in a serious SHTF environment!
I can see something like this becoming unobtainium due to the current climate. It looks to be a very good survival multitool.

Lots of gadgets, but the Russian products always look to be engineered from the stand point of what will work well, last, and be the most useful rather than adding features that will make it sell better.. I did a Google search of this product... First site I opened had them at $16 US, but out of stock.. A number of other sites including ebay, Amazon had them any where from $95 to $150 US... OUCH... Thanks for sharing the info..

I like that ^ tool but I don't think the pliers open up wide enough to be really useful. Good on them for having a go but it wouldn't make me shift from the incumbents...

I had a Leatherman for about 4 years. It actually wore out, the joints got very loose, and despite sharpening the blade properly, it wouldn't hold an edge.
I now carry a Aldi branded Workzone. It too is about 4 years old and showing signs of wear. The screws that hold the bits together wore out, so its now got some high tensile types, and the knife does hold an edge quite well.
The original pouches are long gone, so my daughter has made up a leather belt pouch for it.
