For the past twenty years, the only knives that Leatherman has made have been those in their tools. In 2005, they decided to join SOG®, Buck®, Gerber® and others and make knives as well as tools. Their first move into the knife market is to introduce six knives in two levels of quality and price. Two are lockbacks and four are liner style locks. Four have blades of 154CM and 2 have blades of 420HC. All six are located at www.agrussell.com/leathermanknives.
The 4-1/2" lockback folder has a 3" blade of 154CM at 59-61 Rc. The skeletized Zytel® handle with carabineer carrying clip/cap lifter reduces the weight to 4.7 oz. Includes a quality nylon pouch. Suggested retail is $70.00.
