C33 - Straight Blade Bx Review

I finally got my order for this Leatherman knife, and upon onboxing it, I would say I was a bit disappointed. I own both a Leatherman Wave and Charge TTI, so I had high expectations for this dedicated knife, which probably led to the disappointment. Most of it centers on the blade itself, which is a bit thin for a dedicated knife - in fact, it is exactly as thick as the Wave's blade. The secondary grind is also not as smooth as it could be, and it was actually dull because of a burr on one side - nothing I couldn't fix with a decent sharpener, but something that escaped quality control. I was more put off by the grind, which was not one continous curve but kind of changed angles abruptly at least 2x along its length. I guess this is a Leatherman thing because I checked the S30V blade on the Charge and it does show the same abrupt changes in the line of the grind. Again, this is something that will disappear after a few resharpenings, so no big deal. I am more concerned about the liner lock, though. It's a modified liner lock with a tab partially covering the opening - probably to give a little protection from dirt. It locks up fine right now, but there is no room for wear at all - it moves across the tang's locking surface so much it is actually stopped by the oversized bronze washer on the opposite side of the pivot hole. There's no play right now but again, there's no room for wear. One last issue concerns the grip/handling on the top of the knife. At the point where you would rest your thumb - the site where most other folding knives put jimping, this one is actually painful to hold. There's the open space between the scales on top of the pivot where the inner sides of the scales would actually bite into your thumb if you applied pressure. Again, it's not a backlock, but less sharp inner edges on the scales would have helped. I also think that the knife is unneccesarily wide between the scales - maybe it's for the extra tools of the other models but the washers are a bit too thick. The rest of the knife is excellent - very light because there's only one scale, and a thin one at that; scales are nicely shaped and don't feel cheap; the biner/bottle opener works fine - feels a little flimsy but I'm never going to trust my body weight on it anyway; once sharpened, it holds a wicked edge but with 420hc, it won't hold it for long, although not below expectations. Again, with so may issues, why 4 stars? Regardless of my issues, you're still getting a well known branded knife, with decent steel, and extra features, with good ergonomics, for less than $20. I would say that deserves 4 stars.
