New Toy\\\ Tool
I recently acquired a new Leatherman Charge XTi. (No, Mother, Leatherman doesn't make fetish wear.) I like it. Well, I bought it because it has features I want, and from previous experience I know Leatherman makes good equipment.
One thing puzzles me, though. The clip-point knife blade has 154CM printed on it, just ahead of the opening cutout and visible when the blade is closed. Why? At a guess, to meet some legal requirement against longer blades. Only, here in the metric-deficient US wouldn't that be in inches? Or is it for Canada?

Turns out that's the type of stainless steel used in the blade.
