multitool

I've never had a problem with Gerber, but I haven't used a machete made by them, either. My experience with the multi tools has been excellent. And I believe they're US made and have a great warranty.

Count me in on the gerber as well... mines probably 10 years old been beat to death but still functions perfectly...it spends half the summer laying on the deck of the boat... then spends the winter in my ice fishing sled... in between i use it at work everyday...

I used a Gerber multi tool for over 10 years for everything from work to fishing without ever having a problem with it. Then I left it on my bumper as I drove off one day!

The only multitool I own is the tiniest Swiss Army Knife. For fishing pliers, try the new Sargents. Hook cutter on one side, braid cutter on the other. Jaws are an inch longer than the standard Manley's, and they're STAINLESS. As far as I know you can only buy them from Cabelas. Sears sells a leather sheath for about 6 bucks that fits them perfectly.
