Comments:

The E33B falls into a weird category of knife and light duty multitool in my book, but it doesn't do either exceptionally well. It's rather bulky for a knife yet lacking the tool variance one would want from a MT.

Leatherman's 154CM blade is satisfactory; it takes and holds an edge pretty well but it seems to be slightly softer than other knives I have which use this steel. The bit driver is a handy little feature to have on you if you aren't used to carrying a MT or SAK with you, and the carabiner clip seems sturdy enough (I haven't had a reason to really use it); it can open bottles if you need it to but I've used better openers. When using the pocket clip the knife rides low in the pocket which is nice. It's a good deal better than the knives that Leatherman used to offer, but it could still use some improvements.
