Gerber MP600 vs Leatherman Wave+

“I got my son the bladeless Gerber MP600. It's not on the same level as Knifeless Rebar but he's really happy with it. That said, I wouldn't trust TSA to be fair about letting you take anything. You should have it in your checked bag.”

“If by “Swiss army” you mean the actual company, Victorinox (which is famous for Swiss army style knives), here are a few that are great for hiking/outdoors: * Victorinox Huntsman * Victorinox Hiker * Victorinox Fieldmaster * Victorinox Ranger 79 M Grip * Victorinox Camper * Victorinox Rambler Leatherman also makes great “Swiss army” style multitools: * Leatherman Wave Plus * Leatherman Signal * Leatherman Surge * Leatherman Skeletool Remember, bigger, more expensive, and/or more tools is not necessarily better. Look them over and go with what speaks to you and makes sense (affordable, something you think the bf would like, etc.). Your bf will love whatever you pick, because you picked it and are thoughtful. Good luck! Let us know if you need further advice and/or have additional questions.”
