Leatherman has been building pliers-based multi-tools in Portland, Oregon, since 1983, the year Tim Leatherman shipped the original PST, or Pocket Survival Tool. That single design has since grown into a deep American-made catalog spanning multi-tools, fixed blades, folding knives, rescue shears, and EDC accessories, all backed by the brand's 25-year warranty. DLT carries the current lineup organized by model family, anchored within our broader multi-tools collection so you can weigh Leatherman against everything else on the bench.
The tool side runs from skeletonized keychain carry to industrial-grade workhorses. At the top, the Arc and Arc Talos pair CPM MagnaCut blades with the FREE magnetic architecture, while the Wave remains the brand's signature platform in two forms, the MagnaCut Wave Alpha and the classic 420HC Wave Plus. For the outdoors, the Signal adds a ferro rod, whistle, and hammer surface; for the jobsite, the 21-tool Surge carries the longest blades in the catalog and the Super Tool 300 brings the strongest pliers Leatherman makes. The Charge upgrades the Wave platform with 154CM steel and hard-anodized aluminum as the current Charge Plus, the Rebar updates the original 1983 PST, the spring-action Wingman covers accessible everyday carry, and the Skeletool family runs the skeletonized platform across four variants.
Three steels run through the catalog. CPM MagnaCut is the premium powder stainless on the Arc, the Wave Alpha, and the full Leatherman Knives collection, prized for holding an edge in wet and corrosive conditions. 154CM is the mid-tier step up found on the Charge Plus and Skeletool CX, and 420HC is the everyday standard across the rest of the lineup, easy to bring back and dependable in the field. Every MagnaCut owner qualifies for free sharpening from Leatherman, and our knife and tool care supplies keep that edge ready between trips back to the factory.
A few platforms sit outside the standard plier format. The Micra is the scissors-based keychain tool, the only model not built around a plier head, while the FREE Series applies the magnetic architecture to the K2, K2X, and K4X folding knives and the compact T2 pocket multi-tool. Launched in 2025, the dedicated Leatherman Knives collection moves the brand fully into cutlery with the Trac, Rustle, and Pioneer fixed blades alongside the Blazer and Glider folders.
Rounding out the brand, the Raptor Shears line covers folding trauma shears in both the full-feature Raptor Rescue and the lighter Raptor Response. The Leatherman Sheaths and Accessories category handles everything that keeps a tool carrying and configured, from replacement bits, bit kits, pocket clips, and lanyard rings to sheaths in leather, nylon, Kydex, and Molle layouts for every current model.
