I've got a long standing personal vendetta with the Gerber brand as a whole, personally. I've had two of their multitools and one knife from them, and all three broke in one way or another. To be fair, they weren't the top of the line ones with the best steel, etc - But neither are any of the Leathermans I've owned and lost over the years, nor were the SOGs I owned before my Benchmade, and they held up just fine - The two SOGs, in fact, are now EDCs for two friends who previously didn't bother with knives, and chugging along great.
One of the multitools was tossed years ago, the other and the folder are in my dresser. Every now and then I'll call them up to argue with them about their "lifetime warranty" that requires I have a copy of the purchase receipt (Yeah. I'm gonna hang onto that for my lifetime) in the vain hope that some day they might honor it.
Are there any brands or particular models you guys avoid like the plague? I don't mean flea market specials, but mid-range stuff where you expected quality and felt let down?
Any that you think are just dog ugly or have some wonderfully new and innovative mechanism that you think just flat sucks?
