Leatherman has defined pocketed practicality since Tim Leatherman’s 1983 breakthrough. Portland-crafted multi-tools and knives combine precision stainless-steel engineering with true everyday utility — rugged enough for fieldwork, refined for urban carry, and trusted by outdoorspeople, trades, and EDC collectors worldwide.

Everyday multi-tools
Leatherman’s core collection centers on multi-tools engineered for repeated use: spring-action pliers, robust blades, screwdrivers and bottle-openers, all folded into compact stainless-steel bodies. Ideal for trades, camping and EDC, these tools balance ergonomic handling with corrosion-resistant finishes, plus available accessories and sheaths to tailor carry to the user’s routine.
Knives and carry accessories
The knife range pairs utility blades with slim folding designs for discreet pocket carry or belt mounting. Leather and nylon sheaths, bit kits and replacement parts expand versatility, so whether you’re outfitting a workbelt or curating an everyday carry kit, Leatherman supports long-term use and serviceability.
